Technology awards 2008 - upping the bar


Buoyancy in the fiercely competitive market is a formidable quality.


Defining the state-of-the-art, then, in the same fiercely competitive market becomes a laudable quality. It is for want of this recognition that 700 entries for innovation awards were made to the Journal, out of which, were the following category winners (of 2008) [as seen in the link below]:

This includes the home bred (Indian) Tata Consultancy Services in the ‘Wireless’ category for their invention relating to development of a communication system for providing crop advice to farmers as also the home bred (Indian) Tata Motors in the ‘Transportation’ category for manufacturing the world’s cheapest, fuel-efficient family car.

Increased innovations translate into increased dependence on technology, increasing our convenience factor, reducing the spatial and time domain factor. Quantum leaps vis-à-vis such inventions, hence, pave the way for a technologically-bred ‘super’ [sic] human (?)!
