Facebook and twitter users are more beloved than before
Internet usage generally is associated with antisocial behavior and loss of interest in others. The former claim was based on that technology, often produces little or no face to face interaction between people. However, the emergence of various social networks has significantly changed the results worldwide.
A study by a U.S. consulting firm found that technology and the Internet only further isolate the people joining them. Social networks like facebook and twitter help them feel more loved, unaccompanied, to rely more on the rest and to reaffirm ties created that have formed in the virtual world.
The research is based on a comparison from 2008 to date, where the number of members in social networks has grown to truly abysmal levels.
This reality has made the social networks dynamics have changed since the users of facebook do not see the website as a simple service, but as part of their lives. Read the rest of this entry »

The first step in the eternal battery
In the rush to develop alternative energies in seeking greater sustainability, a group of Australian researchers have begun to develop a revolutionary system that allows electronic devices to auto-charge while you type over them.
At the Royal Melbourne Institute of techonolgy, a group of scientists took the first steps toward creating what they themselves have called “eternal battery”.
Through the technology of piezoelectricity , a quality that allows some material purchase electricity when subjected to mechanical forces, keys laptops or mobile phones could be used to charge their own batteries. The energy in each pulse is exerted on the keyboard can be thus transformed into electrical energy powering the device battery with a thin film under the keyboard of this.
The future application of this technology will not only enable teams to develop infinitely more efficient energy but also an almost unlimited autonomy.
The results of this study were published on 21 June in the journal Advanced Functional Materials specialist. Dr. Madhu Bhaskaran, co-author of the research, said the technology could “even be used to convert blood pressure power source for pacemakers.” This technology, as you can see, very broad possibilities for its application because its developers, as Dr. Bhaskaran own states, are essentially creating the eternal battery.
