Technology Quarterly

The latest edition of The Economist's Technology Quarterly is out. The articles I found most interesting:

• the history and prospects of wind power and, staying with green energy, space solar power,
  
• using cryptography to make voting more secure,
• The Economist's innovation awards (including prizes for Jimmy Wales for creating Wikipedia, Matti Makkonen for the invention of SMS, and Martin Evans for the creation of knockout mice), and
  
• a profile of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, focusing on his Enlightenment values.
