To me, one of the great technological advances in automotive engineering has been the invention of cruise control. It gives the driver the ability to drive at a comfortable, safe, and legal speed without having to worry about slowly creeping up in speed and suddenly discovering in a panic that I’m driving well over 80 miles per hour and are in danger of receiving a very expensive speeding ticket - don’t ask me how I know about this! But some drivers think cruise control is a “set-it-and-forget-it” control, a mindset that can be very dangerous, even fatal, especially in heavy traffic when all drivers need to be alert and actively in control of their vehicles.

Some innovations change lives. A favourite of mine is the village milk collection system, a cooperative model. There’s a dairy in the village,
people bring in milk, the dairy in-charge places a sample on an
instrument, checks the fat content, prints a receipt that tells the
seller the fat content and the price. Once a week, the milk-seller
encashes receipts. As most villages do not have electricity, instruments
and computers work on diesel generators. Every day the co-operative’s
van arrives to take the milk for sale in the nearby town. Read more
