This looks nothing beyond a normal toy that kids would play with all the time. Maybe even kids these days would play with toys that appear a lot more flash and sophisticated. But this is no mere toy as it paves way in to a future sans batteries and chargers. It helps us continue development of technology in a direction that would help us save a lot of energy and of course also create less pollution. Some of the leading companies if the world, have been trying to develop technological options that provide an alternative to the traditional sources of energy.
Now Sony is trying to take forward a project that it had started some while back. It has launched a new digital camera and unlike the other ones in market, this is sure as hell going to capture your attention, if not the best possible picture. Sony has launched a new digital cam that is powered by human energy. In short, your mechanical work is converted in to energy that powers this cam. The cam has a very unique and fun design that is sure to have some takers.
The cam is fitted with a rubber wheel that one needs to push across a flat surface. 15 such pushes are enough to take one snap. So if you are on a very long holiday and you need to take plenty of outdoor snaps, just keep pushing. Give it to your little one and they’ll do the work for you by going ‘wroom-wrooom’ on the wheel. The camera is not the most sophisticated, neither is it the tiniest in the world. Sony is pretty clear about the market it aims with this cam. It is for the kids and of course for the little kids in all of us big blokes. That is indeed great as not only would the kids have fun but also would learn to do away with batteries. Now this truly is a Sony!
