Default This is what I call - Inspiring !

We are all complaining like, we need broadband, we need all expensive things etc etc.

Have a look

http://williamkamkwamba.typepad.com/.../07/index.html

and

http://williamkamkwamba.typepad.com/.../06/index.html

It tells the story of William Kamkwamba, a secondary school student (dropout as he /his family was not havin money) in Malawi (Africa) who came up with the idea of building a windmill with whatever material he could put is hands on and trying to keep the thing running and improving it.

This is a'technology news' ? for me - YES.

I can understand his happiness more coz ....

I lived without electricity till the age of 15. We used kerosene lamps.
