    I am still a little bit skeptical about digesting nanomaterials, using it on your skin, etc. However so far there are no harmful side-effects. Truth be told quite the opposite. So far nanomaterials like these are often used in an industrial area but soon they are gonna be everywhere. From electronics to medical to cosmetics.

    This is seemingly where things are moving. Everyone will be able to just carry their computer around with them all day long, no more switching between multiple machines which all have their own ways of doing things. This certainly seems extremely convenient, though backup will become even more paramount in this situation. When you think about it, the way we do things now seems so primitive in comparison. The human-computer interface is still such a vicious battleground, with the computer often being the victor.4k

    Interesting to see your views on the Sherpa. I recently reviewed the Voltaic Systems’ 72W solution on my trip to northern Ethiopia and my final comments were less about the quality of the panel and battery (which was very good) but more about the ancillary bits. In my case the travel camera battery charger was so cheap that it failed early on and that would have been catastrophic had it nor been for someone else having a USB charger to hand.
