Wireless electricity! It's an unreachable future image, so we think. But it actually is a very old concept.

Nikola Tesla worked on the idea (from 1856 to 1943) on how to transport energy wireless. And Nikola succeeded in creating wireless lighting, that was known as the Tesla effect. So, the concept is not new. And although the technique for wireless recharging of devices has advanced, the technique has not yet been adopted (see also wired).
The basis for this technique is induction. Creating a force field that if appliances are within range, they can recharge themselves. But in a world where wireless connections have become mainstream, why hasn't this been done for electricity? We all have mobile devices, cell phones, that are all very dependent on batteries. The good news is that more companies are increasing the R&D on wireless energy sources. Hence, a new era is upon us. And let's face it, what are we without our mobile devices today?
There are two companies that we would like to introduce: Wildcharge and Splashpower.
Maybe, wireless energy will be the future for a more sustainable environment. There are persons that believe in placing power stations in orbit and beaming energy towards earth. And although this looks like a far fetched idea, it is actually possible. And maybe in the near future, we will not need are recharges and power sockets!

Een unieke documentaire waar je ook echt even voor moet zitten want hij duurt zo'n 12 uur. Maar het onderwerp van de documentaire is dan ook eindeloos zou je kunnen zeggen. The reality of me wil onze wereld waarin we leven op een eenvoudige manier beschrijven.
Het is een bekend fenomeen. De kracht van de computer om ons mensen er nog mooier maar vaak onechter uit te laten zien. Filmproducent Jesse Rosten creëerde een 'parodie commercial' omtrent de maatschappelijke normen en waarden rondom schoonheid en de rol van de schoonheidsindustrie hierin.
Het internet heeft sinds haar ontstaan veel veranderingen teweeg gebracht. Google is hieromtrent een speciale website gestart die moet uitgroeien tot een uiterst interessante verzameling van wetenswaardigheden over de impact van het internet.
Een mooie en inspirerende video over het belang van vragen stellen en om nieuwsgierig te zijn en te blijven. Voor veel management is deze video wel een 'must see'!
Microsoft Research heeft hoge ogen gegooid met hun 3d hologram dat ook nog tastbaar is. Nu hebben we al eerder over ontwikkelingen binnen de 'hologram wereld' gesproken maar Microsoft Research zet weer een belangrijke stap met hun Vermeer project.
