Young Indians inventing
An article Thursday on an Indian news site offers further evidence that the country is getting into the game of creating new technology products --rather than just providing routine software coding or call center services.
The story at Webindia123.com describes the inventions of four Indian teenagers who represented their nation at a recent international exhibition for young inventors. Among the Indian teens' innovations: a system for controlling home appliances through a mobile phone, a wheelchair that can climb stairs and a machine for transforming banana tree waste into a substance that can be used in products including biodegradable construction material.
