900 students of Dr. Arcadio Santos High National High School – Sun Valley Annex in Paranaque City will benefit from the 40 computer sets donated by ASUS through the ADOC 2.0. What is ADOC you may ask?The APEC Digital Opportunity Center (ADOC) was initiated by Chinese Taipei in the 2003 APEC meeting in Bangkok to meet the goal of bridging digital divide among APEC Economies. It has collaborated with seven APEC economies – Chile, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines since its inception. In the second phase of the project, ADOC asked for the support of private companies, like ASUS, to help gather resources.

The students would really benefit from the new computer sets because they can now acquire new skills that will greatly help them in a now globally competitive world.

Toyota Develops Thought Controlled Wheelchair

Toyota has recently previewed a thought controlled wheelchair that monitors brain activity 125 milliseconds which prevents any lags. Stephen Hawking would love to get his ass on one of these.

According to The Christian Science Monitor:
"After training three hours a day for a week, the system is able to tailor its responses to a user’s tendencies. Imagine a hand or foot movement while wearing the cap, and the system triggers the corresponding response from the chair. Toyota claims up to 95 percent accuracy. As a failsafe, the user can puff out a cheek, triggering a sensor and stopping the chair."

The system would certainly help handicapped people and would spark innovations because of its universal applications.
