Update on Project Loon

I have posted about this fascinating project before, and have added an update - so this is now the latest update on an amazing project designed to help connect everyone throughout the world. 

It is a project that been in progress since 2011 - and provided connectivity to schools and small isolated communities all over the world.  It has also been on hand to help with communication after natural disasters as well.  

Check it out:-

It isn't just about having the imagination to dream of it - but having the determination to see the project through and make it work.

Update on Project Loon

This is just a quick update on something I posted about quite a while back.  Lots more work has been done and it is now happening in the Southern Hemisphere.

Who would have thought of stringing a bunch of balloons along the edge of the stratosphere to provide internet to remote and rural areas?  Just shows that sometimes crazy ideas have something going for them.  


Steam Punk is not just a genre, it appears.

Project Loon - Balloon Powered Internet

I came across this one today and thought I would share it with you.  Check out the weblink below and see what you think.

I thought this was interesting considering my last post could be called anti-technology, if people wanted to read it that way.

If I was going to categorise this as a genre - I would think that it would have to be Steam Punk.
