It should not be a surprise for us to hear that we exist in the midst of revolution of technological boom. It would be extremely important to see the functionality side of this narrative & how it’s shaping or rather reshaping the reality of our daily lives, the direction it leads us towards & opportunity it provides. 

Of course, the stage of gentrification is a critical tipping/boiling point majority of us have signed up for, be it out of the conscious choice or a hype of new beginning that collective took upon itself. Yet, how long does new remains new & how soon does it become old. Where do these paradigms meet & what perspectives they give us?

Well, let’s just begin by saying that the bubble of city jurisdiction life has been a gradual, continuous expansion that most of us witnessed, questioned & pondered through the cracks in the walls. A part of the process required diligent research on whether the operating structure & intentions behind it are actually working to the growth of our service, purpose & character. And let’s be honest for a moment, that in many of these aspects, how to say, not always have we been met in genuine support. Conclusively, people of today’s day we are being asked to look into options that play a role for us to come into our organic power. 

Luckily, we don’t have to feel alone on this path of discovery, as we can turn to technology-implementation to notice the difference.

Among many, let’s pay attention to the following two stories & their uprisal:

1. EV. No, not the Enterprise Value or Evolution Volume, but an Electric Vehicle.
2. Solar technology. 

The first whisper of EVs began in the early 1820s, when horse-drawn carriages were commonplace and the world was looking for alternative solutions to animal-powered vehicles. By the dawn of the 20th century, electric cars were extremely popular with the socialites and businessmen who could afford them. In fact, nearly one-third of all cars on the road were early EVs.

‍

Battery technology―the electronic systems that keep EVs working and safe―and electric motor efficiency were limiting factors that worked against EV production in the 20th century. Continuous innovations in each of these technologies, such as the invention of lithium-ion in the 1980s, paved the way for a profound rise in EV manufacturing and consumer adoption. Consumers saw an increase in:

·      Travel range

·      Charge capacity

·      Safety ratings

·      Efficiency

·      Performance

·      Aesthetics

·      Affordability

However, here is the constant thing with technology: it advances. For example, a company most of us have heard of, Samsung, has just announced a breakthrough in battery tech. More specifically, solid-state batteries, the type of battery capable of resolving many issues surrounding EVs. Researchers at the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) and the Samsung R&D Institute Japan (SRJ) decided to do an experiment:

They removed the lithium metal anodes found in solid-state batteries and replaced them with a silver-carbon composite layer. The team discovered that doing so enabled the battery to support a larger capacity, longer life cycle, and improved overall safety. The layer of silver-carbon also measures only five micrometers thick yet has an increased overall energy density.

The so-called "pouch" the team created would give an EV a range of about 500 miles and have a lifecycle of more than 1,000 recharges. In other words, an EV with a battery that lasts for up to 500,000 miles. Solid-state batteries also have even faster charging times than today's best lithium-ion batteries.

The side ultimate technology that brings us ability to transform our view on adaptability is of course… solar cultivation. 

Fossil fuels like oil, natural gas, and coal (used primarily for electricity generation), are no longer the sole sources of energy for homes today. The third millennium is becoming increasingly more focused on renewable energy sources as a viable alternative to fossil fuels. In fact, PV solar power is one of the cheapest and most popular renewable energy sources for generating electricity for modern homes.

Logistics.

Solar panels are built to work in all climates, but in some cases, rooftops may not be suitable for solar systems due to age or tree cover. If there are trees near your home that create excessive shade on the roof, rooftop panels may not be the most ideal option. The size, shape, and slope of the roof are also important factors to consider. Typically, solar panels perform best on south-facing roofs with a slope between 15 and 40 degrees, though other roofs may be suitable too.  The age of the roof is also to be considered, as well as - how long until it will need replacement.
