Free Global Wi-Fi

                       Free Global Wi-Fi

Free Global Wi-Fi could change the world in many ways. One way it can change the world is that it would let doctors all over the world that need help looking up what type of sickness it is and how to cure it. It also lets know what is going on around the world like is a meteor going to this part of the earth or what. I believe that free global Wi-Fi should be installed around the world in other countries that aren’t America. I think that we should put the effort into it and try to install the free global Wi-Fi it could save Millions of lives. It could also help and find places that they should hind from or not go there or they should go there because it is safe. If don’t install this Millions would die and continue to die. I know I don’t want that to happen I’m sure you don’t either. But this is just my opinion anyways so you really don’t have to care but you know it would be nice to consider. If we keep this up and not help other the U.S.A. will be known as people who don’t care about other people who are sick or injured or kids. I found this while looking for ways to help start Free Global Wi-Fi,” These days, most people enjoy the convenience of taking their own smartphone along to Europe. Horror stories you may hear about sky-high roaming fees are both dated and exaggerated.” I don’t get how that is about free Global Wi-Fi. But I will continue on about this and show some more things about some global Wi-Fi.” Whether you’re in the U.S. or travelling around the world, you want to be able to stay connected with friends and family. With Wi-Fi Calling and our new Global Coverage, you can do just that—and it’s easier than you might think.” That is another that does not make sense here some more.” For most people, the simplest way to avoid roaming is not to use it in the first place. Once you’ve boarded the plane, remove your SIM from your phone and don’t put it back in until you land.” That just has to do with how to keep your phone from roaming. There officially is no way anyone is trying to help this. I think people should care more about others needs and not themselves. That is the word I like to call Ignorance. It is a word which means and I quote.” lack of knowledge or information.” That came straight from the dictionary. I was hoping that more people cared in the world besides me but I guess not. Well that is what I am seeing anyways. I hope that who ever reads this thinks about it but you don’t have to do it because this is my opinion and my opinion alone. I hope that people think about what others are going through and not just themselves.

Google

                                                      GOOGLE

Larry Page, our co-founder and CEO, once described the “perfect search engine” as something that “understands exactly what you mean and gives you back exactly what you want.” Since he spoke those words Google has grown to offer products beyond search, but the spirit of what he said remains. With all our technologies—from search to Chrome to Gmail—our goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to find the information you need and get the things you need to do done.
This means making search smarter and faster, so it can understand that when you type [jaguar] you’re looking for the car, not photos of the animal. It means showing you when your friends like an ad or a search result, so that you know it might be valuable. It means making our products work intuitively, so that you can share documents with Gmail contacts without having to copy and paste, and open the same tabs on your Android phone that you have open on your Chrome browser on your desktop. Above all, it means making our products work better so that people can spend time on the stuff they’re good at—like enjoying time with family, camping in the wilderness, painting a picture or throwing a party. We’re not there yet, but we’re working on it. We provide a variety of tools to help businesses of all kinds succeed on and off the web. These programs form the backbone of our own business; they’ve also enabled entrepreneurs and publishers around the world to grow theirs. Our advertising programs, which range from simple text ads to rich media ads, help businesses find customers, and help publishers make money off of their content. We also provide cloud-computing tools for businesses that save money and help organizations be more productive. We build products that we hope will make the web better—and therefore your experience on the web better. With products like Chrome and Android, we want to make it simpler and faster for people to do what they want to online. We’re also committed to the open web, so we’re involved in various projects to make it easier for developers to contribute to the online ecosystem and move the web forward. And we work hard to create a web that’s better for the environment, by using resources efficiently and supporting renewable power. The web has evolved enormously since Google first appeared on the scene, but one thing that hasn't changed is our belief in the endless possibilities of the Internet itself.

What I have to think about this is that it is very helpful yet it shows what Google offers us and what they do for the web. If we did not have Google most of us would be lost right now. What I am saying is that if you need to know anything just ask Google. What I think about this is that they want us to trust them and know that we can rely on them.

Bitcoins

Bit coins   


A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution. Digital signatures provide part of the solution, but the main benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double spending. We propose a solution to the double-spending problem using a peer-to-peer network. The network timestamps transactions by hashing them into an ongoing chain of hash-based proof-of-work, forming a record that cannot be changed without redoing the proof-of-work. The longest chain not only serves as proof of the sequence of events witnessed, but also proof that it came from the largest pool of CPU power. As long as nodes that are not cooperating to attack the network control a majority of CPU power, they'll generate the longest chain and outpace attackers. The network itself requires minimal structure. Messages are broadcast on a best effort basis, and nodes can leave and rejoin the network at will, accepting the longest proof-of-work chain as proof of what happened while they were gone.

In my opinion they are sort of weird but they are cool. They are like money online but you can’t lose your identity. They are really awesome even though they sort of pointless.

Google Privacy

There are many different ways you can use our services – to search for and share information, to communicate with other people or to create new content. When you share information with us, for example by creating a Google Account, we can make those services even better – to show you more relevant search results and ads, to help you connect with people or to make sharing with others quicker and easier. As you use our services, we want you to be clear how we’re using information and the ways in which you can protect your privacy.

Our Privacy Policy explains:

What information we collect and why we collect it.
How we use that information.
The choices we offer, including how to access and update information.
We’ve tried to keep it as simple as possible, but if you’re not familiar with terms like cookies, IP addresses, pixel tags and browsers, then read about these key terms first. Your privacy matters to Google so whether you are new to Google or a long-time user, please do take the time to get to know our practices – and if you have any questions consult this page. Information we collect

We collect information to provide better services to all of our users – from figuring out basic stuff like which language you speak, to more complex things like which ads you’ll find most useful or the people who matter most to you online.

We collect information in two ways:

Information you give us. For example, many of our services require you to sign up for a Google Account. When you do, we’ll ask for personal information, like your name, email address, telephone number or credit card. If you want to take full advantage of the sharing features we offer, we might also ask you to create a publicly visible Google Profile, which may include your name and photo.

Information we get from your use of our services. We may collect information about the services that you use and how you use them, like when you visit a website that uses our advertising services or you view and interact with our ads and content.

This is goggles terms of Privacy Policy and they say that it is safe and everything. I think that it shows a lot of thing to the public. Say you didn’t want anyone to know where you live but you could put something up about it or you have to put in for the account, the public would know where you live.

Self-driving cars

                                                      Self-driving cars

Would you buy a self-driving car that couldn’t drive itself in 99 percent of the country? Or that knew nearly nothing about parking, couldn’t be taken out in snow or heavy rain, and would drive straight over a gaping pothole?
If your answer is yes, then check out the Google Self-Driving Car, model year 2014.
Of course, Google isn’t yet selling its now-famous robotic vehicle and has said that its technology will be thoroughly tested before it ever does. But the car clearly isn’t ready yet, as evidenced by the list of things it can’t currently do—volunteered by Chris Urmson, director of the Google car team.
Google’s cars have safely driven more than 700,000 miles. As a result, “the public seems to think that all of the technology issues are solved,” says Steven Shladover, a researcher at the University of California, Berkeley’s Institute of Transportation Studies. “But that is simply not the case.” No one knows that better than Urmson. But he says he is optimistic about tackling outstanding challenges and that it’s “going to happen more quickly than many people think.”

I think self-driving cars are amazing. They help the blind or the special needs to drive. They help them feel like they aren’t special needs or they feel free.

Batteries

                                                                 
Batteries 


The battery is a device that converts chemical energy into electricity. Like most important inventions, this device has many different versions originating from the 19th century, making the history of the battery quite interesting. The battery is a combination of many different elements that have spawned new and inventive ways of creation through the comprehension of its creation, used for almost every aspect of modern life. The battery has made a progressive transformation from a crude invention made of simple elements to one of complexity and vast potential. The battery has helped in the growth of technology, and has become a big innovation toward modern living because of it.
The invention of the battery can be dated back to 250B.C. in Baghdad, Iraq where it was used in a process to electroplate objects with a thin layer of metal just like how gold and jewelry are plated today. From 1780 to about 1786, Luigi Galvani observed that when pieces of iron and brass are connected to frog's legs, he got them to twitch. This started the interest in what was known as voltaic electricity, after Alessandro Volta. From 1796-1799 he experimented with such elements as Zinc and Silver and invented what was known as the first "dry battery consisting of a pile of the two elements. Before the turn of the century, he had modified this using a salt solution and it was called the "crown of cups . Karl Gilbert Grove in 1839 and Robert Wilhelm Bunsen in 1842 later developed the successful use of liquid electrodes. By 1866, the French Engineer Georges Lelanche had made his own patent out of a porous pot with crushed Manganese dioxide with a little Carbon (positive) mixed in with a Zinc rod (negative). In just two years, his version had sold 20,000 batteries for telegraph machines. The idea of placing both the negative and porous pot into a Zinc capsule was conjured up by J.A. Thiebaut in 1881.
The first evidence of batteries was dated to be from in the neighborhood of 250B.C. These ancient batteries were discovered in archaeological digs in Baghdad, Iraq. These antiquated batteries were used in simple operations to electroplate objects with a thin layer of metal, much the same way we plate things with gold and silver. Much later, batteries were re-discovered in 1800 by a man named Alessandro Volta. The electrical unit of potential was named after him-the volt. Alessandro Volta was born in 1745 and died in 1827, and in this time period he re-produced one of the most important parts of life. He developed the battery by alternating pieces of electrolyte soaked discs (sodium chloride), zinc, and copper plates. These plates and discs were stacked in a 1 2 3 order, and when a wire was placed on the two poles of the battery it would produce electricity. 

I think that this absolutely true about batteries and that life would be hard without electricity. If you had a phone and did not have a battery
in it, you would have to plug it up everywhere you go and some cars don’t have plugs in them.
