Need for sustainable invention and innovation

Many new inventions came and are not known, just like Sloot digital coding system, the ones that promise to compress any movie data size into 8kb.

But the few that become well known can be overhyped and oversubscribed, definitely, it is an adoption curve, some plateau, and then comes down to its real value.

Take for example; bitcoin, even NVIDIA are complaining about the harsh use of its GPU for mining, I know many think it has so much support, but will the next big thing not come? And another adoption curve begins, a game-changer.

A report shows that Telsa bought $1.5 billion of bitcoin. Encouraging more carbon footprint emissions that more than they can ever save, especially with bitcoin been the thirty consumers of energy when compared with countries in the world.

Talking about power and coming into my industry, the building hype around vertical farming is also getting early adoption. With realizing on artificial lighting, yes. It saves land because plants can be grown above each other, but most of the electricity for the lighting comes from solar panels, then the savings are canceled out by the land required to install the solar panels.

Hence making the power usage of this innovation huge. Definitely not so sustainable. I now wonder why Bill Gate is pushing and advising the entire, US to ditch beef for synthetic meat (Beyond Meat)

I understand one can see the convenience and value this new techniques and innovations brought, but the problem of agriculture is not it happening in a rural settlement. But its reliance on fossil fuel. That is what we are solving at DayDone to bring farm produce and experience to you irrespective of the farm size or location.

In conclusion, “When all the trees have been cut down, when all the animals have been hunted, when all the waters are polluted, when all the air is unsafe to breathe, only then will you discover you cannot eat money” Cree prophecy.
