This can mean fewer cylinders, lighter parts, and a more efficient engine load. This means that the car will use substantially less 2 fatale while being dven under normal clramatanees, offering better fuel ’ 12 consumption and less-damaging emissions parmped into the atmosphere. 2. How Hybrid Cars Work to Use Different Energy Sources a © + Generally, a hybrid car uses the gesoline engine for constant and ideal driving conditions such as steady and constant speeds. Because itis much ‘ smaller, this already means a reduction in emissions while providing 2 5. more than adequate amount of power necessary to drive the car under 8 these conditions. . + The electric motor will usually conic into play when the car is put under i extra pressure and requires a little extra assistance. Driving up hill, accelerating, and driving in difficult conditions will normally mean that s the electric motor will give an additional push and ensure that the hybrid 10. — car has ample power to perform any task. no Hybrid Car Technology 2 4 Hybrid cars have advanced considerably in a relatively short space of a3 time, and new techniques and processes are being evolved to further reduce 4 both gas consumption and harmful emissions.

In Bolivia, a rural radio station uses the Internet to answer questions from listeners—like the farmer who wanted help dealing with a worm that was devouring his crops. Working online, the station found a Swedish expert who identified the worm and broadcast the information on pest control to the entize community “The development community has placed a great emphasis on being able to meet basic development objectives,” says Richard Simpson, the Director of E-Commerce for Industry Canada. “It is not about rich countries getting richer. es not even about emerging economies.

A region in which many people live on incomes of less than one dollar a day, Pondicherry’ information ind communications technology development strategy traces back to a 1998 project that brought Internet-linked telecentres to the region's villages. Today, villagers routinely use the Internet to access information that helps them sell their crops at the latest commodity prices, obtain medical advice, and track regional weather and transport How does that kind of technology affece daily life? Just look at what happened in the village of Nallavadu. Vijayakumar Gunasekaran, the son of a Nallavadu fisherman, learned of Decembers earthquake and tsunami [2004] from his current home in Singapore.
