I think you have noticed by now how much technology has affected the quality of our lives in this modern age. One thing I'm sure you haven't missed is how smaller things are these days. We now have all kinds of
handheld electronic gizmos that are used for communications, information access, or both. We have also made some implants here and there to either track down the activities of any person or to cure certain health conditions. I don't know about the reliability of my sources when it comes to the former, but the latter is pretty much obvious with pacemakers and all, you know. But when it comes to energy efficiency and energy-source tapping, we seem to be lagging behind the pace of the advances of digital technology.
