Solved in India + Amazon's new product-Echo

1.Solved in India
Hello everyone,
the first piece of this blog is about team of three members from Bangalore who try to solve a very general problem.We all love music,some like to listen it aloud  and some like to enjoy it in solace on earphones.Most of the times we see that wires of this earphones get entangled and some of the people like me find it their favorite time pass and a sense of achievement to untangle these wires.But many of them find it completely irritating to untangle it when the urge to listen to your favorite song gets very strong or to attend an extremely private call from your GF/BF becomes critical.So this team observed this and thought to solve it  in a desi way(don't get me wrong this is not a jugaad)


They started it by doing a CAD/CAM design of the product and tried and tested various designs and f arrived at a final design shown in the picture which was 3-D printed.

This team of 3 members have called their startup as wizworks and they have commercially manufactured this product for all of us.Its name is "rewind"and it is priced at 190 rupees.The product is available on the website itself.

Kudos to this team for manufacturing this product in Indian style.A way to go for them...

2.Amazon -Echo

Today there is no need to introduce Amazon.com to you,an online-retail behemoth which has constantly innovated with its offerings and private labels has now  intr4oduced Amazon echo.Already having entered in the smart phone market by launching Amazon fire phone. the company has now  forayed into a very promising project and have successfully developed Amazon-echo.

What is Amazon-echo
It is a cylindrical device which looks like a speaker(and a deo in the picture!),recognises voice and does many things.The most important thing it does is it answers many of your questions by using cloud.Whenever you ask something it will  search for content on web and deliver answers.You can address this device as Alexa and if you say,"Alexa tell me whats the length of howrah bridge" it will tell you the answer.The other important thing it does is plays music and you can access Alexa from any corner of your room depending on the wifi capabilities.Alexa is primarily built to use voices as inputs.The other interesting about Alexa is it can also set up your to-do list and help you with reminders.

Though it is not launched in India yet, but it is available on invitation for 200$ in US.

The main objective of including this idea in my blog is because it displays integration of different technologies like cloud computing and voice recognition(Remember the ambulance drone??)into a device which makes technology more interactive with humans.Though not at par with the innovations done like google glass but this device is worth a mention.

Yotaphone and why is India so filthy?

Yotaphone

Hello everyone,
Today's blog is going to be about a phenomenal idea YOTAPHONE.Yotaphone is world's first dual screen phone!The phone is manufactured by a Russian comapny-Yota.The concept of having two screens is very unique in itself and the Yota were the first to implement it .The front screen of the screen is a regular smartphone screen but the back screen is the innovation we are talking about.The back screen is a black and white screen which actually doesn't run on the battery.This screen is called as paper screen which is similar to the kindle e-book reader(So you don't need to but that kindle you were planning to buy).The e-paper screen can work for more than 35 hours without battery.You can upload anything and everything on this back screen and read.I will not mention the technical specifications and the price, I will leave that for you to find out.To make it easy here is the link-http://www.flipkart.com/yota-phone-c9660/p/itmeyxg6b9gahv3z




Swatch Bharat Abhiyan-Why is India so filthy?
I said that this blog is going to be about Ideas.This was a brilliant Idea of our Prime Minister or Pradhan Sewak as he likes himself to be called as.He spoke about it on the Independence day speech and said he will kick-off the initiative on 2nd October-Mahatma Gandhi's anniversary.On eve of 2ndOctober he sent a Government Resolution-GR-which read that each government employee should go to his workplace and clean his workplace along with the surrounding area of the workplace.Though some turned their noses up but it was a great start for such a huge campaign on a national level.Further Mr.Modi nominated nine famous nine personalities to take up the Abhiyan and asked them to in turn nominate nine more to spread the chain.This was taken up by the social media quite well and is being supported.
The Idea to be implemented with the same zeal needs constant encouragement and more importantly constant engagement.It is not the duty of only Mr.Modi, this is a responsibility we all should share to make it successful.I don't have any intent of preaching here but would like to share a video which will definitely convey what can be done and what has been done till now!
