Distributed Power
summary
Claim: next billion people come online on smartphones in ~6 years, two thirds of Sub‑Saharan Africa gain 3G in ~5 years, and an iPhone launch weekend ships 25× more transistors than all 1995 PCs. Peer‑to‑peer app FireChat keeps protesters connected via mesh without the internet; Hungary’s proposed internet‑tax is repealed after mass phone‑enabled protests. Cloud examples: cloudandheat reuses server waste heat to warm buildings, OpenStack has ~2,000 contributors from ~100 companies and ~400 supporting vendors, and many users run OpenStack alongside Amazon.
