Well, recently I have come across a story about a boy, a young entrepreneur, who launched his own company. The film revolves around reducing food waste. Its main focus is on connecting restaurants and supermarkets with the customer, which reduces the amount of food that are thrown away and allows shops, groceries and so on, to sell the food at reduced price. The story was widely covered in the media because it addresses two main global problems, environmental sustainability and economic efficiency. It demonstrated how technology can be used both in an impactful and practical way to solve some real-world problems. I found especially fascinating was that it didn’t require a really complex approach rather than it was just a well executed simple idea that turned out to be really beneficial to other people.
