As I was looking for articles to share to my class, I came across this interesting invention about a washing machine that uses only a cup of water to clean the clothes. Amazing!

Xeros  a Leeds University spin-off, is currently commercializing a washing machine which can clean clothes using just a cup of water.

The technology employs the use of half-centimeter plastic chips to do the actual cleaning. The machine heats what little water (mixed with detergent) is used to dissolve the dirt which is then absorbed by the plastic chips. These chips, which are loaded into the machine at 44 pounds per cycle, can be reused within a six month timeframe. The washing machine was already tested to be able to remove a variety of everyday dirt such as coffee and lipstick stains.

Incredible but true! If this washing machine can save us all the water consumed by every household, then this will help solve the water crisis that our world faces. There would be more water for everyone, and clean water to drink, too. If study showed that there is one person in five who has no access to clean or safe water (BBC News), soon the ratio will be 5:5.

Heard about podcast video interview? Or online video conferencing ?A growing trend now is online video.

In the past, podcasting was originally only for audio files, more people are beginning to send video, especially with broadband connections more accessible. For podcast video, content distributors enclose it in a website syndication file that users can download and view when they want. Users subscribe to different files, check for updates regularly, and download new offers as they become available. Each file is often referred to as an episode or part of a video blog, or vlog.

Podcast video, and other types of podcasting are thus part of the revolution of blogs. Individuals and groups around the world, with a small investment in equipment and time, can become content producers. Because it is so simple to use and inexpensive to implement, many people are involved.

Many of these public podcasters can have small download to their podcast video, but larger groups are involved. News organizations and websites serving the mass public are discovering that podcasting video podcast and can distribute their content to millions of people easily. These groups have shown that podcasting video is yet another way to distribute their
news and information. Since podcasting is so easy to use, it is likely that more people will start using video podcast.
