A British Council’s report has shockingly revealed that an overwhelming three quarters of people in Pakistan consider themselves as Muslims first and Pakistani’s second. “Only 10% have faith in national or local government, the courts or police, while three quarters see themselves as Muslims first, Pakistani second, compared to just 14% who see themselves as primarily a citizen of Pakistan,” the Daily Times quoted the report, as saying.

Pakistan has more productive youths than dependents, yet is has done nothing to tap this favourable ratio, the report said. According to the British Council’s Next Generation Report on Pakistan, the country is going through a favourable ratio of productive young to old, but it has done nothing to address this demographic dividend over the past two decades.

The report highlighted that this “window of opportunity”, which opened in 1990, would close in 2045, which gives the country “little over 35 years to change course and reap the economic and social potential attached to such an opportunity”. The report also pointed out that only 15% of the country’s youth believe that the country is headed in the right direction. It said that over 92% youth considered education an important issue which must be addressed soon.

It, however, noted that there is a widespread discontent with regard to democracy among the youth of the country. Only one third of country’s youth considered democracy best for the country, while another third preferred Sharia. “Pakistan is at a crossroads. It can harness the energy of that generation and collect a demographic dividend. But if they fail to get jobs and are poorly educated, it faces a demographic disaster,” said David Steven, an academic, who helped write the report.

A few technology bloggers once wrote that they do not trust solar power computers because they believe that computers operating on solar energy are not powerful at all. Naturally, with technophiles, the more powerful the gadget is, the more useful it is. Unfortunately, it also goes that the more powerful the gadget is, the more power it consumes.

Desktop computers are known to be big power hogs. They consume around 150 watts of power on the average, and that figure changes depending on the hardware installed on the computer. The power usage also goes up if the computer is kept on all the time.

However, is it really true that solar power computers will not provide the kind of flashiness that technophiles love? Two years ago, Lenovo proved that computers running on solar energy can be sexy too. Lenovo was definitely in the right direction when it launched its Blue Sky A61e PC two years ago.

This ThinkCenter PC model is lightweight at only 8 lbs, Energy Star 4.0 compliant, can run on only 45 watts, and can run on solar panels. Is it an ugly and clunky PC? Definitely not – with an AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core or AMD Sempron processor, 4 GB worth of RAM, and ultra-small hard drives that can go up to 750 GB worth of space, it is as sexy as most flashy, power-hog PCs go.

But you do not have to replace your existing computers with solar power computers if they are still running perfectly well. It is possible to run gadgets and appliances, even power-hungry desktops on solar energy. All you need to do is to buy two or three solar panels and use them to power up your home. The cost of one solar panel is only a small fraction of the cash you will cough up when you buy a computer.
