EV Rechargeable Battery Market To Reach $54 Billion By 2020, Says IHS iSuppli

The global market for rechargeable batteries in electric vehicles (EV) is expected to reach new heights in the next 10 years, growing to $54 billion by 2010, up from $35 billion in 2010, says IHS iSuppli.

By 2015, lithium-ion batteries will be the leading technology occupying 55 percent of the market. Lead-acid will have 31 percent of the market, NiMH batteries will be 6 percent of the market and 1 percent will be NaS batteries.

Looking ahead to 2020, lithium-ion will only gain in its lead over the other battery technologies taking market share away from lead-acid batteries while NiMH and NaS will maintain roughly the same presence in the market.

Lithium-ion batteries will grow in demand with automotive applications. The main commercial driver will be the need for aggressive cost reductions while maintaining safety. The cost of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries is much higher than any other. However,  the research notes that prices will need to drop 50 percent in order to achieve widespread market adoption.

The significant cost reductions should be possible through volume production and material improvements. As a result, lithium-ion batteries could become less expensive than standard lead-acid equivalents by 2020, concludes the study.

The World Wide Web Celebrated Its 20th Year Anniversary Last Saturday

Last Saturday was the 20th anniversary of the World Wide Web  as it became a publicly available service on the internet.  On August 6 1991, Tim Berners-Lee (now Sir), posted a short summary of the World Wide Web project on the alt.hypertext newsgroup. The message read:  “The WWW project aims to allow all links to be made to any information anywhere.”

 

The web of the last twenty years has since evolved. Many new policies are on rise to actually cripple the web. Think of the plan for a tier internet traffic which has the potential to enable telecommunication companies to control data throughput for their legacy customers. The open web structure was the major reason it was widely adopted and which consequently lead to a digital economy.

 

Previously the web was used to allow physicists at the CERN physics laboratory to share data, news and documentation, but Berners-Lee’s post released the technology to the general public.

 

By making the web openly available and royalty free, it quickly advanced to a globally used service, no longer the secret of the technologically minded. In the 20 years that followed, the web has become a daily part of modern life. The late 1990s and 2000s saw the boom and subsequent bust of dot-com businesses.

 

Sites such as Amazon and eBay were some of the few to survive. Since then, the web has grown further and is now included on most new phones and televisions. The ability to access email and other web services through mobile phones has proved unbelievably successful, with many now addicted to their smart phones.
In 2008 mobile access to the web exceeded desktop-computer-based access for the first time. John Domingue of the Open University predicted the future of the web:

 

“I see a number of trends and influences in the future of the web. “Five billion people are on the web on mobile devices, the dominant device will be the smart phone rather than the laptop.” Domingue also warned of the dangers in the fast advancing web services: “One problem that may arise in the future of the web will be privacy.  “This is already a problem for a number of sites that will only worsen as technology advances.”

 

However, the consensus appears to be that the only way forward for the web is upwards. Sir Berners-Lee may never have guessed what would become of the message he posted on a forum 20 years ago but there is no doubt that the web will continue to expand beyond any expectations in the next 20.

 

One thing is certain. The internet of today will indeed evolve to something more than linking computers to a platform for living. Human systems could become extensions of the web and in the next 20 years, we will all be altered.

Cynamix Is A New Nigerian Online Social Community

Nigeria has a new social media website to spend time, meet people and socialize. Facebook, take note. This one seems to look clean and neat. It was built on Joomla and we hope it  stays stable when it begins to get popular. Cynamix is the new deal in town. We got to know about it via a Facebook invitation  to Tekedia that read in part as:

I’d like 2 invite u 2 Join cynamix.net a Nigerian social community where you can meet guys and babes also looking to meet people. Share photos and videos, music, games, application, downloads, free browsing tweaks and forum discussions and many more. It’s really great. Join 2day @ http://www.facebook.com/l/hAQCU6dd2AQDRtOdInaHHdxt5iotcF3VhR0OSp1ue30Knjw/www.cynamix.net Regards

The good part of this website is the formation of groups feature. It has four main product offerings to people that join and they are:

  • Connect and expand your network
  • View profiles and add new friends
  • Share your photos and videos
  • Create your own group or join others

Increasingly people are noticing that if any entrepreneur can build something local and differentiated from Facebook, there is still an opportunity in social media networks. Despite the arrival of Google+ with already huge juggernaut of Facebook, a highly differentiated website can still succeed. It must offer not just social interaction but possibly something like local social commerce all integrated. It  will have a news interface that constantly provides local contents. Anyone that does that at the local level, according to experts, has a chance. We hope Cynamix will do just that.
