Tech to Save the World: A Guide to How You Can Change the World, (Paperback)

Have you ever looked at a problem and thought, "someone should do something about that?"

That someone is you.

As our world faces never-before-seen challenges, almost all of us want to try to help make our world a better place. While we all have something we care deeply about, few of us know how to turn that passion into action. With the right tools and information, we can harness our passion and the technologies we use every day to make a difference. Tech to Save the World explains how everyone can use technology to make change - even if you don't consider yourself a tech person!

In this book, you will learn:

• Why you are the type of person who can - and will - make a difference
• Stories of everyday people who changed the world through idealistic innovation
• Skills and tools used in business and non-profits to create and test creative solutions to global challenges

From the doctor who found a way to save patients in developing countries with the Solar Suitcase, to the college student who created a smartwatch application to help sufferers of PTSD, Tech to Save the World shows how the average person can build a better world.

Tech to Save the World includes "blueprints" with step-by-step instructions for dreamers, professionals, and executives who want to change the world but don't know where to start.
