Tape over the we**am and mic...should we be as paranoid as Zuckerberg?

In the digital age, protecting our privacy is important. When we use the internef, we share bits and pieces about ourselves. By keeping our personal details safe, we build trust in technology, like having a shield for our identity, making sure it stays our own.

ELECTRIC CARS?

Fuel cells convert chemical energy to electricity through a reaction between fuel and an oxidizing agent. Operating like batteries, they provide continuous power as long as fuel is supplied. A common type uses hydrogen and oxygen, yielding electricity, water, and heat.

Elon Musk has criticized fuel cells, stating they are fundamentally inferior to batteries. His concerns include inefficiency in hydrogen production and distribution, as well as challenges in storage and transportation. Musk prefers battery-electric vehicles, emphasizing their efficiency and sustainability. Hence, the infamous Tesla electric cars.

LED LEADING THE LIGHT.

Nick Holonyak Jr., an American engineer and physicist, developed the first practical visible-spectrum light-emitting diode (LED) while working at General Electric in 1962.

Holonyak's LED emitted red light and marked a significant milestone in the field of lighting technology. LEDs have since become an integral part of various applications, including lighting, displays, signage, and electronics, due to their energy efficiency, long lifespan, and compact size.

The development of LEDs has had a profound impact on the way we illuminate spaces and use lighting in a wide range of devices and technologies.
