How much electricity does it take to power the world?

All around the world, millions of people are flipping a switch, plugging in, and pressing an ‘on’ button every second. So how much electricity does humanity use? And how much will we need in the future? Discover how much energy it takes to power the world, and how clean energy sources could help revolutionize our electricity supply.

Blockchain Explained

In simplest terms, blockchain is explained as a global distributed ledger made of data blocks sequentially linked in a chain. The Bitcoin blockchain’s unique characteristics stem from merging cryptography and transparency within a distributed technological framework. Bitcoin transactions between two parties occur within a global peer-to-peer network without needing to rely on third-party authentication.

Blockchain technology tackles the problem of digital trust by securely recording important information in a public space. Data stored on the blockchain exists in a shared and continually reconciled state, and the data is decentralized, can be encrypted and timestamped—but it cannot be tampered with nor changed retrospectively.

Neural Network In 5 Minutes | What Is A Neural Network? | How Neural Networks Work | Simplilearn

This video on “What is a Neural Network” delivers an entertaining and exciting introduction to the concepts of Neural Network. We will learn the different layers present in a Neural Network and understand how these layers process data. We will get an idea of the different parameters used in a Neural Network such as weights, bias, and activation functions. We will also understand how to train a Neural Network using forward propagation and then adjust to the errors in the network using the backpropagation method. This video also covers a few popular Neural Network applications. Now, let us jump straight into learning what is a Neural Network.

How Google’s Quantum Computer Could Change the World

Quantum computers store data as either 1s or 0s, taking advantage of phenomenon known as superposition. Google expects to have a “useful, error-corrected quantum computer” by the end of the decade. It will invest billions in developing the technology over the next decade. Quantum computing market will reach $2.2 billion by 2026, according to a report by IDC. The number of installed quantum computers will reach around 180 in 2026. Google says there is still a long way to go before such computers are practical.

The Story of Electronics

The Story of Electronics employs the Story of Stuff style to explore the high-tech revolution’s collateral damage—25 million tons of e-waste and counting, poisoned workers and a public left holding the bill.

Annie Leonard takes viewers from the mines and factories where our gadgets begin to the horrific backyard recycling shops in China where many end up. The film concludes with a call for a green ‘race to the top’ where designers compete to make long-lasting, toxic-free products that are fully and easily recyclable.

Our production partner on the electronics film is the Electronics TakeBack Coalition, which promotes green design and responsible recycling in the electronics industry.
