Cool Technology of the Week


Last week I joined several industry experts to discuss the future of Big Data, Analytics, and Healthcare IT in general with a moderator from Intel.

Here's a preview clip on You Tube.

What else is cool this week?

As many of my readers know, I cycle between meetings on a foldable bike.

The only challenge is that it's pricy and prone to theft.

What if you could buy an ecofriendly "disposable" bicycle for under $10?

Sound impossible?

This cardboard bicycle is an engineering miracle.   Now that functional prototypes have demonstrated the possibilities, I look forward to seeing such low cost, recyclable, and robust vehicles on the road.   At $10, it's unlikely they'll be stolen.   Maybe cities could make racks of them available for generalized use at no charge?

That's cool!
