Technology has gone a long way and most people find it very difficult to keep up with the latest technology. Innovations are brought to the technology market yearly and it seems nearly impossible to stay up to date. Below are some of the interesting fun facts about technology.

With the number of extraordinary technological development here and now, there’s absolutely nothing impossible. Technology has become a necessary part of our lives and if you’re a tech freak, you must be mindful of these facts.

Interesting Fun Facts About Technology

1. Scientists can now use deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to save and retrieve images.

Videos, images, emails and other digital information up to gigabytes in size can be stored in a smear of DNA.
Computers keep data as a series of 0s and 1s. But data also can be created using the four structure blocks of DNA, says Luis Ceze. As a computer engineer at the University of Washington in Seattle, one of his duty is to study how computer and data systems should be designed and function. Labs can make beaches of synthetic DNA, one nucleotide block at a time. Combinations can be developed, as a law, to represent figures, letters or other digital information. afterwards, other lab apparatus can translate those building blocks along a strand of DNA. In that way, they can decrypt the original data.

2. Drones can now build a bridge by themselves.

Oh, yes! With amazing ease, two quadcopters have independently assembled rope bridges. This was done in Switzerland by planting two drones connected with an anchor at two ends, creating a 120 m long bridge with 9 rope segments.
In 2015, University researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich designed drones that can work together to build a rope bridge between two sets of a scaffold. The bridge they built was around 24 feet to the opposite side and could support the weight of a person walking across it. The quadcopters were able to achieve this by scanning the distance between the two sets of scaffolding and discovering how to build the bridge on their own, without human involvement. The drones had a motorized spindle attached to them, which allowed them to loop, braid and knot ropes together to build the bridge.

3. The best selling mobile phone of all time was the Nokia 1100, made in Finland.

A whopping 250 million units were sold. With this record, it’s the most-sold electrical gadget in history, slightly ahead of the PlayStation 2.


The mobile phone, which is an entry-level device that packs the most basic of functions, was launched to the market late in 2003. It doesn’t have a multicoloured touchscreen, a frontal camera or a twisted screen, as the mobile device was built to be as simple as possible. It did have a flashlight, a dust-proof case and no-slip rubber grips, with other features being 36pre-installed monophonic ringtones, exchangeable covers, 50- message capacities, 50 slots for contacts and a standby time of 400 hours between each charge. Of course, the device also had the popular Snake II and Space Impact, which were amazingly famous back then.


Sold for a price label of only about$ 100, the Nokia 1100’s affordability helped project it into its best-selling status, before the production of the mobile phone was brought to a stop in 2009. With 250 million units sold, it didn’t only become the best-selling mobile phone in the world, but also the best-selling electronic device for consumers in the world.

4. The most dangerous virus ever created in the form of a worm is called “ILOVEYOU”.

It attacked by replicating itself and crashing systems. It first arrived through e-mail messages as a love letter from a secret admirer. Once the email was opened and the attachment is clicked on, the virus spread fast.

Since Microsoft Outlook is widely installed as the default email management application in corporate networks worldwide, the ILOVEYOU virus can spread rapidly within a corporation. This is exactly what happened on May 4, 2000. In just around 10 days, ILOVEYOU reached an estimated 45 million computer users and caused about$ 10 billion in damages.

It spread so fast that many major companies like the Ford Motor Company, AT&T and Microsoft, as well as government associations like the Pentagon, CIA, U.S. Army, and congresses in Denmark and theU.K., had to fully shut down their email services as they tried to bring the virus under control and lighten its damage.

ILOVEYOU is also known as the” love letter virus” and the” love bug worm. Although generally appertained to as a computer virus, ILOVEYOU is actually a worm.

5. It’s foretold that by the time 2033, there would be anonymous robots that are designed to kill.

It’s understood that these robots can spare a lot of human life, but they’re also competent in identifying targets and killing them without any human input.

6. In February 2009, Google tweeted for the first time on Twitter.

The tweet was “ I ’m 01100110 01100101 01100101 01101100 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01101100 01110101 01100011 01101011 01111001 00001010.” When translated from binary into English, the tweet says “ I ’m feeling lucky.”

7. LinkedIn, Youtube, Yelp, and SpaceX were all established by former employees of PayPal.

They’re collectedly known as PayPal Mafia., Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Reid Hoffman are members of this crew.

8. There are now smart water bottles that track a user’s water consumption.

Sharp medical pill bottles that remind patients to take their tablets, and innovatively alcohol bottles that help consumers guarantee the genuineness of the product. Although the use of the term ‘smart’ has become a little mysterious lately, in this case, it usually means that the water bottle is linked to your phone

Drinking enough water each day is an important part of perfecting your health and fitness. Unfortunately, there’s no deficit of stats implying very few of us are belting enough water. A recent study found one in five people don’t drink any water on a given day – relying on super sugary drinks rather. Although we could presumably all do with drinking a little more water throughout the day, smart water bottles still aren’t going to apply to everyone.

9. While it took the iPod just 3 years to reach market followership of 50 million, it took radio 38 years and TV, 13 years to reach the same market followership

10. To combat global warming, scientists are proposing creative ways to instinctively cool the atmosphere by either blocking the sun’s beams or sucking up redundant CO2. The plan is to “ hack” the earth back into shape.

Reading from digital device is faster but harder to comprehend while reading from a paper is slower but easier to comprehend on the long run. I thought I made this clear enough.
