Google Balloons!!!
Internet for everyone. Courtesy Balloons.
Google’s Project Loon is an ongoing project by the company to put balloons in the air, allowing for internet connectivity in the remotest of regions. Think of it as Wi-Fi routers installed all over sky. Google wants to connect the two-thirds of the world population that does not yet have internet access. The project has received some criticism – Bill Gates believes that bringing internet to the developing world ‘isn’t going to uplift the poor’.
“When you’re dying of malaria, I suppose you’ll look up and see that balloon, and I’m not sure how it’ll help you.”- Bill Gates
