Summary:
Years ago, putting solar cells into gadgets was very popular, this idea is now coming back in laptops. This new laptop is called the Lifebook Leaf. It has many advantages like being waterproof ,it's flexibility and it's touchscreen. The exterior is a giant solar cell, that can be folded open and charged. I think this is a great invention, especially with our environmental crisis. The designers of this laptop believe that designers can no longer rely on energy sources as if they were limitless.
Questions:
Do you think this is practical?
Do you think this is a good invention? and why?
What are some other inventions that you think could help save our environment?
Wow I think this is very fascinating and can be beneficial to our environment. This would save alot of energy because people use alot of unnessacery energy charging their laptops. After learning about solar power in class, it seems like it will have a positive impact on our society and environment.
ReplyDelete2. I think this is a wonderful invention. It will save a tremendous amount of energy.
3. A solar powered cell phone or television would be extremely practical too!
This is definitely a fascinating invention. The fact that electronic companies are trying to help with the energy crisis is a great thing. We all are using computers today; most of them are laptops. This new solar laptop could have opened the door to a world of new electronic opportunities.
ReplyDelete3. Some other inventions that could help save our environment would be solar powered grills, or even solar powered cell phone as Rachel said.
This is really intriguing. This reminds me of a book I read where they had boards that unfolded to charge with solar power. That was really cool but it didn't seem like it could happen for a while and now it has. I think this could really help with the energy crisis, but I think it might be a little hard once the laptop ran out of power because then it would need to be charged with solar power and solar power isn't ultra reliable.
ReplyDeleteQuestions:
1) As I said before this could be very helpful, but it would only be practical in an area where sun can always be found.
2) Yes it's a good invention because it will help with the transition to alternative energy.
Wow! This is pretty cool. I'm glad that companies are becoming innovative with their technology. This is definitely a step forward in getting rid of fossil fuels. I believe that soon if more companies come up with ideas like this, the world may stop using fossil fuels.
