In other technology news, the Washington Post traced the remarkable rise of GPS technology. Or as the newspaper put it, "America has seen its last Lost Generation."
And a new design for wind turbine blades that makes them "invisible" to aviation radar could be the advance needed to promote the installation of large-scale wind farms around the world, according to Technology Review.
