    It’s a great thing that they got the PC down to just a $100, but what use is that PC when it’s being used in places where energy is a scarce resource? A great solution has been invented by some low tech geek; this hybrid is made by combining a sewing machine and a bicycle pedal. The more power you need the more you keep pedaling. Can’t wait to see more of such technology coming from the farthest regions of the world.
