Use Your Smartphone As A Scanner

Leave a comment

Most of us take pictures with our phone to store memories of our experiences and share with loved ones, or foe! But there are other uses for your smartphone’s camera. One of them is to take pictures of documents for capture, just like your desktop scanner does at work or at home. Well maybe not as good yet, but it definitely does the job and will only get better.

A Must Have Water Bottle For Adventurers!

Leave a comment

This one is for the light-travelling, outdoor sport enthusiasts. We are talking about a water bottle! Why are we talking about a water bottle on a tech blog? Well, this water bottle is not just any bottle because it fills itself with water!

Do we need say more? The bottle fills itself with “drinking” water. The technology being used is not new to us at all, people have been condensing atmospheric water for generations, but this very innovation of putting it together like this is new.

Its efficiency depends heavily on the environment as you would think. The higher the humidity of the atmosphere, the more water it can make. It also uses solar power to begin the water making process, so you need a lot of sun.

Future of Transport?

Leave a comment

China has brought the world many things for eons. A good example is paper money we all love now! Hence, when china comes out with something pioneering, we needn’t be surprised! You might have seen a video a while back of a concept bus that straddles traffic to beat the traffic hold up! We all thought it was a brilliant idea and went on to watch a surprised cat on youtube!

Well you might need to recollect that memory and even live it now, because it is a brilliant idea that has come to reality. If it works out, we all might have to adopt it everyday to commute. Why? Because it is quintessentially creative innovation. You don’t have to worry about traffic jams caused by cars. See below!

If that video hasn’t convinced you of the benefits of it, then no amount of words can. We at thecomputerpotato can’t wait to see these buses everywhere! Why? We know it will ease transport for both public transport users and private cars. If you want another reason, they are electric powered, which means no poisonous fumes from operating them, another step to save our earth.
