2. What is I-generation? Generation-iis all about communication. The i-Generation refers to a smaller proportion of the Generation Y where by the users actively engage with technology in its development, progression, and its use in the workplace, so that the technology can evolve within the means of the generation. 2011 - now

6. Today, more than a third of global CO2 emissions are generated by transportation. CO2GO, a new type of smartphone application, is an effective tool that assists in making smarter individual transportation choices to collectively reduce carbon emissions in cities. Making sophisticated use of the sensors contained in a standard smartphone (accelerometer, GPS, …) carried in your pocket, CO2GO deploys an unprecedented algorithm to calculate in real-time the carbon emissions while on the move. It does so by automatically detecting your mode of transportation (walking, biking, train, car, bus, subway,…) while tracking the distance covered. [1]CO2GO

9. The innovative application helps to switch from Incandescent light to energy efficient light bulbs. For every recommendation, the app will display a bulb image, specifications, energy and dollar savings and carbon dioxide emissions reductions. Users can buy the energy-saving bulbs choosen through the app or at their local retailer. [2] Light Bulb Finder

17. Abandoned buildings are everywhere:in city centers, suburbs, countrysides, mountains, seasides, everywhere! They are left there, day after day, night after night. They don't scream, they don't bleed, they just lose a little piece everyday, so you don't really realize that a certain place is falling down, until one day it's impossible to recover it and the only thing that is left to do is breaking it down!! How is our society managing these buildings? Most of the time just ignoring them, preferring to leave them behind and build new buildings instead! This approach it is cheaper in the short term, but definitely it is not in the long run. There is an enormous power trapped in these ruins and [im]possible living is a project that aims to free this power up!! It won't be easy, but we want to try to reverse this trend and give a new life to these places!! The steps in front of us are very challenging, but we are very excited about them: build a worldwide database of abandoned buildings provide tools and knowledge to help our users start rescue projects connect professionals to help on the design process find money to make these projects become real.

37. Like a plague (or perhaps even a less clichéd metaphor), this smartphone-controlled helicopter progressively disrupted the office workflow. In other words, once it arrived and was fully charged, I couldn't resist staging a demonstration for every division in the company [Your crashes were most amusing - Ed]. The 'iHelicopterLightspeed Phone Controlled i-Helicopter' is pretty much what it sounds like: A diminutive flying vehicle that you can control with an app you install on your phone. The app is free and is available for the iPhone as well as a growing list of Android handsets. The magic is courtesy of a small IR transmitter about half the size of a Bic cigarette lighter that plugs into your phone's headphone jack. [11] Ihelicopter
