"What Is Your Life's Work? captures a most extraordinary moment in each of our lives -- the time when we sit down with loved ones and attempt to answer the big question about what really matters. Bill Jensen has created a wonderfully practical space for you to explore who you are, what you stand for, what you believe in, what's risky, what's not, what's worth it, what you're struggling with, and what you've accomplished."
Rural India, Electricity and Computer Literacy

Bringing the benefits of computer technology to rural villages in India will require a substantial amount of work--and a lot of extra car batteries, said professor Jitendra Shah.
To save power, the PCs run on car and truck batteries. Unfortunately, the batteries regularly need recharging and the public electrical power system can't always handle the demand.
Intel, meanwhile, is developing a PC that can run on car batteries and comes with a special case that keeps out dust, according to Intel India President Ketan Sampat. The company is also developing a program in Kerala that will put PCs in the hands of local entrepreneurs, who will then sell computing time to villagers.
