Old plastics will become a resource that trawlers go fishing for

Old plastics will become a resource that trawlers go fishing forI've had the thought since 10+ years now: in the future, old plastics will become such a valuable resource that fishermen who are out of jobs due to overfishing, go plastics fishing instead.Now The Ocean Cleanup shows us the way with their prototype-grade systems.In parallel researchers around the world (I know one ;) Patricia Falkenstein) are working on processes to recycle such plastics in a way that it is as good as new.So, once

โ€ Using solar energy to pay teachers more?

This school in Arkansas installed solar energy and turned a budget deficit into a surplus. The surplus is used to pay teachers in the local school district more money, subsequently making the job more attractive. The point is: as humanity, we already have solutions to go back into a virtuous cycle. We simply need a little bit of ambition and courage to implement them. #solarenergy #school #innovation Source: https://lnkd.in/ehhta26i

Tesla and Zoom team up to add, well... video conferencing to TeslasAnother example of where Tesla simply thinks and acts out of the box.There's a camera in the cabin already, so why not utilize it for something useful (while we all wait for Tesla Autopilot)?This type of relentless focus on the customer experience, needs, problems is exactly what defines Tesla and why everybody who has ever tried one would never want to go back.It the overall user experience, stupid!#userexperience #cars #teslaSo

This saw stops in 5 milli-seconds to save woodworkers from cutting off their fingers

โšก This saw stops in 5 milli-seconds to save woodworkers from cutting off their fingersEverybody knows one of these old woodworkers who are missing one or two fingers because they cut them off accidentally.This saw blade has a small electrical current going through it.As soon as a human touches the blade the signal changes, because the human body is conductive of electricity.That makes the blade stop immediately.Any other inventions that are potentially life saving that you can share?#innovation

Learned more about history in this clip than during all history classes in school

โšก Learned more about history in this clip than during all history classes in schoolOn the other hand, when looking at my nephew's curriculum and school experience (same school I went to) it seems like a lot has changed already.Still I wonder if schools can keep up with the ever increasing pace of technological developments.In my opinion, schools should increasingly focus on teaching evergreen skills like creativity, social skills, courage to think and act out of the box and entrepreneurship.Thes

โšก This robotic, remote-controlled rescue ring operates for 30 minutes under any conditionTime and time again Iโ€™m amazed when someone introduces innovation in products that seemed fully done.I mean, a rescue ring has literally barely changed for hundreds of years.Now add some autonomy and AI to it and so it is able to detect someone at danger, launch itself into the see and drive to the person.Et voilร : itโ€™s possible to augment life guards or add a layer of security to formerly unguarded beaches.

โšก It feels like we've been talking about flexible displays for ages, but...I feel like they are solutions in search of a problem.Foldable smartphones, yes, ok. Screens in clothes. Or screens on any type of surface e.g. in cars. Yes, maybe.But still I can't get rid of the feeling that they never get out of a certain niche.#innovation #futurepositivity #creativity #entrepreneurship #future #management #strategy #startups #technology
