Future Laptop Could be Charged by Typing

Australian researchers have figured out a way to harness the energy we use while typing to power a laptop. Using piezoelectricity, this method works in a similar way to cigarette lighters that create a spark by striking a piezoelectric crystal.

To power a laptop, though, a much thinner film of the piezoelectric material would have to be developed using nanotechnology. It’s so thin, it can be coated onto various electronic parts and integrated into a variety of gadgetry.

“The power of piezoelectrics could be integrated into running shoes to charge mobile phones, enable laptops to be powered through typing or even used to convert blood pressure into a power source for pacemakers — essentially creating an everlasting battery,” Dr. Madhu Bhaskaran, the study’s co-author, told GizMag.

The idea of an everlasting battery is mind-bLinkoggling. Scientists are also looking into ways to power touchscreen devices with piezoelectric film, putting all that energetic finger-swiping to good use.

Could this be a way around that perennial battery power conundrum?

Mind-Reading Computers Will be Available by 2016: IBM

IBM says that in coming next 5 years span or by 2016 users will have access to computers which can read human minds (brain) and be able to work according to brain signals. Keyboards and mouse may be the history in coming 5 years, and would be simply used in teaching of evolution of computers.

This isn’t telepathy, this would be the advancement of technology that to get a real-time stream of thoughts from an individual and put into signals which computer will understand ,obey and work accordingly. IBM researcher are using a simple brain-machine interface (BMI) that can detect different kinds of brainwaves and tell a computer to respond a certain way.

IBM says it’s working on technology for people to use their brains to interface with their everyday devices, like phones and PCs. “Just think about calling someone, and it happens,” IBM promises in this video:
