Wanking away global warming...


With the Fifty Shades of Grey movie showing how ready Hollywood is to plaster the screens with sexy time movies I can’t say I’m surprised with this next development. If anything, I’d say I’m impressed, especially considering the fact that this little invention could potentially solve a handful of household energy problems our county is currently facing. Well, that is if it ever makes it past the testing phase and finally onto our local shelves.


I recently read an interesting article about the release of an interesting product from PornHub, the Wankband. The technology uses wearable tech in a whole new way as it conserves energy while the user does their usual business in terms of PornHub related activity.


It’s a unique take on ways to generate and save electricity and in all honesty a smart use of available technology. But what’s smarter is the use of the large market PornHub caters to. The international audience is practically ripe for the picking and with such intriguing tech that smoothly integrates into their lives while saving them in other areas, specifically finances, you can be sure of a lucrative market.


But it’s interesting, the release of this kind of product. It reveals that energy problems are more than just a South African problem as it highlights that there are other countries out there looking for alternate ways to save and generate energy. It’s a scary thought this, mostly because it brings one’s attention to the fact that resources are finally becoming noticeably strained.


It was only a few years ago when the idea of ‘strained resources’ would be discussed and dismissed when scientists spoke of global warming and its effects on the populace and economy, yet now as their warnings grow cold and their theories start to become fact, we find ourselves scrambling about to fix things before the lights go out.

I’m curious to see what other companies join PornHub with such intriguing innovation as the energy problems of the world slowly begin to become more prominent, especially if this kind of product is a peek into the minds working on those innovations.
