Smartwatches that allow pupils to 'cheat' in exams for sale on Amazon
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/smartwatches-that-allow-pupils-to-cheat-in-exams-for-sale-on-amazon-a6910666.html
The article is about how a smartwatch is being sold on Amazon that allows students to cheat on tests by storing notes and pictures on it and can quickly change back to a clock screen with an emergency button.
- It is perfect for covertly viewing exam notes directly on your wrist, by storing text and pictures
- I expect the hidden market for these sorts of devices is significant
- 4GB of memory, was offered on the website for £44.95
In my opinion this shows how technology has come so far that we can now use our watches to cheat on tests. It shows that technology has many uses and we will continue finding new uses for it in the future even more complicated than this one.
US agency reaches 'holy grail' of battery storage sought by Elon Musk and Gates
http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/mar/03/us-agency-says-has-beaten-elon-musk-gates-to-holy-grail-battery-storage
The article is about how a US agency has managed to create a new battery that will allow America to change its national grid in 5-10 years. The battery has been woked on by Bill Gates and Elon Musk but were both beaten to it by Arpa-E. This is the company that made the battery and will give it to the public.
In my opinion I think that this is a good idea and could solve a lot of problems for a lot of people. It is Breakthrough that has been a long time coming but is finally here and could cause massive changes for the better in the future.
- Arpa-E was founded in 2009
- Such projects, or so-called moonshots, were widely seen as too risky for regular investors, but – if they succeed – could potentially be game-changing.
- But the biggest breakthrough is in the area of energy storage
