Want Internet Access 1 Million Times Faster
How about having internet access 1 million times faster than
it is at present, charging your phone in seconds…from your shirt, knowing your blood
composition in real time, or getting the new iphone without actually getting a
new physical phone, well get ready because a new substance is here: graphene.
Graphene is a substance that is one atom thick, 100 times
stronger than steel and is a superconductor of electricity. This is stuff sci-fi dreams are made of.
You can potentially change the composition of a product
simply by have it interact with lasers. So
potentially your smartphone can become a different computer in seconds.
- It stores energy as well and can recharge in seconds.
- It was also proven to transfer data at a terabit per second by a study at Georgia Tech.
- It could also function as a bioelectric sensor in wearable clothing that could tell you your blood glucose and cholesterol levels in real time.
- You can also charge your phone with that same piece of wearable graphene.

Solar Roads
A couple has raised $1 million on IndieGoGo to create solar
panels to cover our nation’s roads. The endeavor
would enable the U.S. to generate 3 times as much energy as it needs. It would also do something amazing… get rid
of those unsightly power lines that obscure views all across the country.
The panels could also light up to show directions and road
signs and they could also warn drivers when animals like deer are on the
road.
The prototype can hold a 250,000 pound truck and they have one
laid out as a parking lot. Of course
there are naysayers who claim that the
cost is too prohibitive to manufacture and install, but if we consider how much
it costs to maintain our roads now and how they don’t give anything revenue
back, the roads could pay for themselves.
I could see parking lots as the first step because businesses
have more autonomy but if there is enough traction, states and eventually the
federal government may back the project to change all the roads over.
Here's their project:

Should You “Flesh Out” or “Flush Out” Your Plan?
This is a great post on Merriam Webster’s Dictionary site
that shows the difference between these two commonly misused phrases.
You should definitely “flesh out” your plan, however if you
are duck hunting then you should definitely “flesh out” a plan to “flush out”
the birds.

Aero-X Hover Bike
We are almost there…the car of the Jetson’s is almost
here. In 2017 you will be able to buy
the new Aero-X hover bike for a measely $85,000. If you are really hungry to get in line
you can pre-order it for $5,000 down.
Although it runs on gas for only 1 and a quarter hours and only goes 45 mph, it can go up to 12 feet high and looks really cool.

Dolphins vs. Shark
Talk about good karma.
A swimmer trying to raise money to stop whaling and help the dolphins
was swimming in New Zealand and saw a great white shark beneath him. Just then a pod of 10 dolphins swims up and
stays with him for about an hour until the shark leaves.
