Would it be fair to set out in a pair of robotic pants to cover all 47 miles of the West Coast Trail in Vancouver, British Columbia, in record time without breaking a sweat? You’d say why not, but anyone who’s been there in excruciating pain and sweat will call out cheating. Of course, it wouldn’t be fair to make a record claim with MO/GO on but it may surely be worth bragging.

Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years. Retro cool: The smartwatch formula up to this point has been pretty straightforward: cram as many health, fitness, and connectivity features as possible into a sleek package and call it a day. The problem, of course, is that one size doesn't fit all. Not everyone needs or wants such a feature-rich wearable, and the cookie-cutter basic slab design doesn't appeal to everyone. If that sounds like you (and you happen to be on a retro kick), Casio's WS-B1000 might be worth a look.

Norway’s Wind Catching Systems (WCS) have created an impressive array of small rotors arranged in a neat grid to achieve up to 126 MW, or five times the energy of a 15-MW single-rotor turbine in the North Sea conditions. Usually, wind turbines are designed to be larger with bigger rotors to pull in more megawatts, but WCS went for a more subtle and functional approach. Besides offering a superior energy output, the innovative Windcatcher design facilitates simpler installation than typical wind turbines, offering easier maintenance and simpler scalability. It also has a longer life service of around 50 years compared to the 30-year life cycle of bigger single-turbine units.

Having lived in a city all my life, I’m used to waking up in the morning, looking out the window, and seeing nothing but buildings. So of course it’s my dream that one day, I’d be able to live in a place where I am surrounded by nature but still have the conveniences of “civilization”. We’re seeing a lot of house concepts right now where all you need to do is step out of your front door or sometimes even just look out your window and you’re one with nature.
