Nigerian teen, Khalifa Aminu, invents Glasses to help the Blind


I saw this story months ago before I started this blog. I thought the idea was brilliant, and I hope he succeeds in manufacturing and selling it. This invention can change lives, and I know he can improve it over time. The reporter briefly stated that since the teen was from a third-world country, she hoped his idea would not be stolen. Ideas like that can and will be stolen in the USA, which is a valid concern. No matter what, I hope the young guy continues to work on and improve his invention.

I started this blog on October 7, 2024. I want to share my thoughts and ideas concerning the world of Tech. Again, thanks, and I hope to hear from you, good or bad. For now, I think of a subject, search YouTube for a corresponding video, post the video on my blog, and then explain it. In the future, I want to record my own videos and write my own technical articles. I would love to know what you think of the videos I pick and the summary I write for them. Also, what tech topics would you like to see. So please leave comments.

I am unsure when this video was made; it does not discuss Windows 11.  The first version of Windows that I remember using was Windows 3.1. It was MS-DOS, then Windows 3.1.   I did a Google search on how many PCs run Windows, and the results showed that about 1.4 billion PCs were running Windows worldwide.  The search also returned the following: For desktop computers and laptops, Microsoft Windows has 73%, followed by Apple's macOS at 15%, desktop Linux at  4.5% , then Google's ChromeOS at 2.25%). The remaining 4.5% is an unknown category (third-most popular and thought to also be Linux, otherwise fourth-most popular).

Two Very Cool Robots by Engineered Arts

Image
Ameca and Azi are two advanced robots created by Engineered Arts, a British robotics company. While their conversational abilities and facial expressions are astounding, I'm unsure if they can do what Elon Musk's Optimus robots can. The cool thing is you can buy Ameca or Azia. You can buy parts such as the head and upper body or the whole body. I don't know the price, but I know it is expensive and unaffordable for the average person.
