Energy Storage, The Most Important Technology In Today’s World

Battery

The Pearl Street Station, invented by Thomas Edison in 1882, is the first steam powered electrical distribution plant, and because of competition between him and George Westinghouse, the technology increased rapidly in the following years. By 194o middle class homes had a lot of the conveniences we have today, like refrigerators, air conditioning and telephones. Today, as the demand for renewable energy increases, we have to develop a new way store all of it, revolutionizing the use of batteries.

Robots are taking over, and they’re creating new jobs for humans

A robot “visitor” appears at a session of the Knesset Science and Technology Committee, February 2, 2016 (Knesset Spokesperson)

The robots revolution is here and they are taking many jobs away from humans. But not to worry, says Yoram Yaakobi, head of the Microsoft Israel R&D center.

“New technology will be bringing in as many jobs as the robots take, and then some. Some of the jobs that will be most in-demand jobs in a decade are jobs we have no conception of now. For example – big data deep divers.”
