Today there are 1.7 Billion cell phones with slots that can hold memory cards, with 4 Billion in 2 years. By 2011 there will be an estimated 5.2 billion mobile phone subscribers in the world, Mo-DV technology, as outlined below, will have a significant impact in the effort to “Green’ the planet.
Using Mo-DV technology effects a massive transformation in the manner in which subscribers receive their information and entertainment which will be through their cell phone rather than printed material. Hundreds of millions of people are in areas of the world where they do not have access to computers, internet or printed publications.
Mo-DV technology provides users of cell phones a means to access information contained on a memory card to experience video, audio, pictures, books, manuals and drawings saving billions of trees. Memory cards also have an enormous capacity to store information in very small footprint and advancements in cell phones include new battery technologies which promise longer term periods of continual use. Advancements in RF protection are now available as well.
A one billion-byte memory card can store 500, one-thousand page books. It can store 4 2-hour movies. Current capacities of these tiny cards today are 8 billion bytes with capacities of 128 Billion bytes promised in 2010.
It will be easy to store lengthy and colorful books of many types (bibles, training, languages etc.) on these cards for the users to read any place they go. 1 billion people from the 5.2 Billion subscribers using this new medium as their principal source of information could save nearly 30% of the paper consumption per capita throughout the world. This translates to over a hundred billion pounds of paper annually which would not now be needed. This is one billion of trees per year saved, using the estimate of 150 pounds of paper per tree and per capita consumption of 100 pounds of paper per annum.
The labor, production energy and transportation savings for this paper savings is enormous, besides the personal labor savings of not having to lug around so many books.
Use of the new flash memory media for green purposes also will come about naturally when people are used to getting information and reading from their phones, which is in process now. This will provide a tremendous service for the planet. The key here is to have the ability for any phone to convey all the information from the memory card to the phone user, which is Mo-DV technology.
