If where it is worthwhile to look for truly original ideas - so it's on crowdamfend sites. Not constrained by anything the only ones realize their wildest and sometimes crazy fantasies and develop really interesting projects. Take, for example, a system administrator from Cyprus named Ilker Dagli. The young man presented on the site Indiegogo device under the spoken name of NetValve. Yes, it really is a gate that controls the speed of the Internet.
The NetValve valve is extremely easy to use: it acts as a "jumper" and is located between the modem and the computer. The device is connected via a standard Ethernet cable. Further, it is used on the principle of the classical valve: when turning left, the bandwidth of the modem increases to a maximum, which allows, for example, to download games and watch movies in high resolution. Turning to the right reverses the process - the bandwidth drops to the point where the speed is sufficient only for surfing the Internet.
"We thought that control over bandwidth should not be so complicated. That's created a valve that will make it easy and intuitive. Because it's a gate.
And it works like a valve. Do not worry about prescribing something on the command line. Rotate the valve. It's easier to go, "says NetValve creator Ilker Dougli.
Over the month that the Indiegogo crawfunding campaign will last, Dougley and his team are seeking to raise $ 50,000 to launch a full-scale production of Internet gates. Users who donate to create a $ 79 or more device will receive their own NetValve by mail. Of course, only if the fundraising campaign is successful.
