A Jetliner For A Fuel-Starved Future

• An MIT team has turned a multi-million-dollar NASA contract into the most advanced rethinking to date of the classic passenger jet. 
• The design, nicknamed the Double Bubble, calls for an extra-wide fuselage and rear-mounted turbofan engines. 
• The configuration would allow the craft to burn 70 percent less fuel than a Boeing 737 while producing significantly less noise and nitrogen oxide, a pollutant that causes acid rain.

Tech Article: Sky Lock

• Skylock uses a solar-powered lock that syncs with your smartphone and the cloud. 
• Instead of using a key mechanism, there are integrated electronics that let you either unlock it with your smartphone or tap in a numerical password.
• This means that a person cannot pick your lock. 
• There is no key hole and if someone jostles your parked bike longer or harder than what's expected on the street, the built-in accelerometers will be detected and sent to your phone an alert. 
• The same detector can sense if you had a sudden stop and you fall. 
• If you do not respond when the alert pops up then emergency responders are alerted.

Do Now: What is digital organization to you?

• A digital organisation is a digital computer application that one can use to arrange their day to day schedules and their to-do list in a computerized format.
