00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:06.319
many newer Technologies really try to push the boundaries of what can be done

00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:11.360
and bring the world something that it's never seen before but sometimes some of

00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:17.520
the most useful stuff can just be a rehash of something that's actually very

00:00:14.120 --> 00:00:20.279
old sometimes thousands of years old as

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:25.240
is the case with electronic ink although we've had paper and ink for a millennia

00:00:23.119 --> 00:00:30.640
and can read just about anything we want on smartphones or tablets e-readers that

00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:36.840
use electronic ink or e in instead of fully-fledged LCD screens are a very

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:38.879
popular choice but Luke why do people

00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:44.520
even buy these things I mean your Android or iOS device can display ebooks

00:00:41.559 --> 00:00:48.600
just fine so what's the point well to understand the advantages eink devices

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:54.000
have it helps to know a little bit about how they work a standard black and white

00:00:51.440 --> 00:00:58.920
eink display is made up of millions of very small spheres called micro capsules

00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:03.879
and are filled with black and white particles of pigment suspended in a

00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:08.280
fluid white particles carry a positive electrical charge while black ones carry

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:11.880
a negative charge when you want to display something like that copy of 50

00:01:10.360 --> 00:01:16.640
Shades that you only read after everyone's gone to bed your e-reader

00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:22.159
applies different electrical fields to each micro capsule which in turn makes

00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:26.840
either the white or black particles rise to the top creating text or an image

00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:30.439
e-readers can also apply different charges to different sides of a single

00:01:29.240 --> 00:01:35.119
micro capsu giving capsules a half white half black

00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:39.200
or gray appearance which can be very useful in increasing resolution by

00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:44.200
giving the edges to letters and other objects a smoother look the nice thing

00:01:41.720 --> 00:01:48.159
about this ink suspended and goop system is that once the ink is pushed to the

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:52.320
top it stays there without needing any kind of power input the display only

00:01:50.399 --> 00:01:56.240
draws power when you have to change something on the screen such as going to

00:01:53.960 --> 00:02:01.079
the next page because simply leaving a page on the screen while you're reading

00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:05.719
it uses no power on unlike an LCD display battery life for e-readers is

00:02:03.119 --> 00:02:10.599
often measured in like days or even weeks instead of hours the downside to

00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:14.239
this of course is just like with real paper you'll need some sort of external

00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:19.680
light so you can actually read what's on the page some e-readers like the popular

00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:23.959
Amazon Kindle paper white have included built-in LED lights for reading after

00:02:22.040 --> 00:02:28.599
dark which works with a light guide to direct light evenly across the screen so

00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:33.120
that it's easy for your eyes and convenient but also harder on your

00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:37.280
battery even so the need for a light source is a worthwhile trade-off for

00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:42.239
people who want easy portability less eye strain than a typical LCD screen and

00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:47.280
the same awesome viewing angles you'd get from a gas station paperback and if

00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:52.400
you want to do more than just read in black and white there's even color e in

00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:57.440
technology that uses other color pigment particles and additional electrodes or

00:02:55.080 --> 00:03:01.360
color filters on top of the display though it hasn't achieved widespread

00:02:59.239 --> 00:03:05.799
adoption in in the consumer market yet thanks to its ability to hold images for

00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:09.920
a long time without using electricity electronic ink is starting to find its

00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:14.680
application in other things other than just e-readers even flash drives with

00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:20.000
external eink displays that uh are able to display how much capacity is still

00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:25.200
left inside iink SmartWatches that don't need to be charged nearly as often as an

00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:29.200
Apple Watch or say Galaxy Gear there are lots of cool Concepts that may become a

00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:34.120
reality as well such as e in credit cards that show your balance on the card

00:03:31.640 --> 00:03:38.879
in real time and even large scale displays that can even change the

00:03:35.920 --> 00:03:42.519
appearance of walls or Furniture pretty cool maybe one day you'll have an

00:03:40.640 --> 00:03:47.159
electronic ink couch that can display scenes from your favorite Comics but

00:03:45.519 --> 00:03:51.040
quickly switch off when it's time to bring a date

00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:54.560
over speaking of switching quickly tunnel bear is a VPN that lets you

00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:58.799
tunnel to 20 different countries allowing you to browse the internet and

00:03:56.079 --> 00:04:04.720
use online services as if you're in a different country they have easy to use

00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:06.959
apps for iOS Android PC and mac and also

00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:11.599
have a Chrome extension just choose the country in the app turn tunnel bear on

00:04:09.720 --> 00:04:15.920
and watch as your bear tunnels your internet connection to your new location

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:20.880
when you turn tunnel bear on two things happen your connection gets encrypted

00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:23.199
with aes256 bit encryption and your

00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:27.040
public IP address gets switched so you can show up as if you're in a different

00:04:24.960 --> 00:04:31.120
country tunnel bear lets you bypass all the annoying details that typically come

00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:35.039
by using a VP PN for personal use there's no need to mess around with Port

00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:39.560
configurations DNS or any of the other annoying setting tunnel bear hles
