The last post

This will be the last post on this blog. I have had a lot of fun learning about blogging as it was something i had not done before, or even considered doing. I now realise how great it is and I'm sure i will continue blogging in the future, maybe not about 21st Century technology's, but you never know! Thanks to everyone that took the time to read my posts i hope you enjoyed them. Goodbye.

Copenhagen Wheel: The Future of cycling

You may not have heard of the Copenhagen wheel yet, but if you like cycling you will very soon, or if you don’t like cycling the Copenhagen wheel might just change that. The Copenhagen Wheel was unveiled on December 15, 2009 at the COP15 United Nations Climate Conference. The project was conceived and developed by the SENSEable City Lab for the Kobenhavns Kommune. The Copenhagen wheel transforms the bike you already own into an environmentally friendly electric bike. It does this by storing the kinetic energy you create while pedaling and breaking and keeps it for when you need a boost. The wheel also has sensors that collect real time information about road conditions and noise pollution. The wheel is controlled by your smart phone, with this you can lock your bike, change gears, choose how much assistance you need from the motor and see the real time information gathered by the wheel. I am not much of a cyclist, however I will definitely invest in the Copenhagen wheel and I suggest it to you too. read more here

Apple iMac Review

The new apple iMac is the most powerful all-in-one computer available at the moment, and also one of the best looking. Despite the look of the iMac being very much the same since the 2009 model, it still has a very modern and fresh look with the aluminium casing.

Design

The iMac comes in either a 21.5 inch display or a 27 inch both has edge to edge glass covers. Everything looks amazing on the widescreen display. To make this even better it includes a LED backlighting to give the pixels the light to achieve the best possible picture. The 27 inch model also contains 78% more pixels than the 21.5 inch with a resolution of 2560x1440.

Performance

The iMac has new quad-core Intel Core i5 processors which are 1.7x faster than the previous model. As well as the new processors, the iMac has a feature called turboboost 2.0. Turboboost increases the speed of all active cores up to 3.8 GHz. It does this without sacrificing any efficiency. The new thunderbolt technology is also featured on the iMac being the first to have it. Thunderbolt ports let you transfer data at speeds up 10gb/s, this is faster than the new USB 3.0 which transfers at 5gb/s.

Conclusion

The new iMacs are great, you can pick one up of the apple store for $1949. if you want the top of the range model you will get it for $2299 from the apple store. They have awesome processing power and storage, as well as a very modern design that looks awesome. The iMacs also feature a very energy efficient power supply which reduces the waste of power. Because iMacs are made of renewable materials such as aluminium and glass it is possible that they maybe recycled and reused, so it is not only a great computer but it can benefit the environment as well.
