limpid Posted January 10, 2015 Administrator Share Posted January 10, 2015 Clicky Lantern is an anonymous portable library that constantly receives free data from space. Like the water we drink or the air we breathe, the information we consume feeds the very essence of what it means to be human. Lantern establishes a new baseline of human knowledge. We are not fixing the world for people, we are giving them the information they need to fix it themselves. Lantern continuously receives radio waves broadcast by Outernet from space. Lantern turns the signal into digital files, like webpages, news articles, ebooks, videos, and music. Lantern can receive and store any type of digital file on its internal drive. To view the content stored in Lantern, turn on the Wi-Fi hotspot and connect to Lantern with any Wi-Fi enabled device. All you need is a browser. Oh, and Outernet is free to use, always. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 So it's like internet access if you don't have an internet connection? It could change the world in a spectacular fashion. Very glad it exists, but I'm not sure what I would need one for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Hmmmm, should I? $1,000,000,000USD The Outernet Foundation Change Create an endowment to guarantee that a universal information service - both broadcast data AND two-way Internet - is available to every person on the planet, in perpetuity. $1 billion has never been asked for before in a crowdfunding campaign, but there has also never been an opportunity to create such tectonic change in one stroke. You are a modern day Andrew Carnegie and your name will be known around the world forever. You have singlehandedly advanced the entire human race.
