Teller does not talk further when exactly this internet balloon flown. However, Google had already announced its official partnership with the three major carriers in Indonesia in October 2015.

Indeed, every effort is never easy. Even Google engineers reportedly overwhelmed by the ideas related to the internet bubble forms - ranging from a spherical shape, pillow, until it resembles a whale biru-- before determining the prototype in use today.

"With the balloon there, we can navigate to float up to 2 miles vertically into the sky and 500 meters from where we were headed as far as 20,000 kilometers. Years ago, there are balloons that have floated to the whole world for 19 times in 187 days. We still need to lower the cost of the balloon, "said Teller.

PIN Will No Longer Needed, replaceable Brain Scanning Technology

Passwords with a combination of numbers and letters when it became a means of safety of various types of accounts. However, with the development of the existing technology, the existence of an alphanumeric password also will be replaced. The researchers are now much berusha to utilize biometric password. Even the latest discovery, the brain it can also be used as a biometric password.

Researchers from the University of Binghamton also has the solution. With the safety system in the form of a biometric password brains, they claim that any system would have a high level of security and will be impenetrable by hackers. To be able to do it, the way is to use EEG headgear as a means of brain scanning.

This head covering was going to ask 500 different images. Furthermore, the brain's response to these images also would be used as the unique identity of the headgear. And based on the results of tests performed by the researchers, the accuracy rate is still quite low. Only one of the 30 testers who can earn as much as 100 percent accuracy.

But of course the study of the brain's use of biometric password is still expanding. Moreover, while this is also very much a biometric password that is also in the process of development and even some of them have been used. Starting from scanning retinas, fingerprints or voice.
