A new invention from India allows Valishetty Narendra to ring his water pump whenever he needs to water his crops. Previously the journey involved a long walk dodging dangerous snakes to restart the pump whenever the water stopped flowing.

Now he has connected a cell phone to the pump and just gives it a call from the safety of his farm.

“We farmers have to worry about the water supply at odd hours. Now with mobile phones, things will change for the better at the farm,” said Narendra.

With minimal investment other local farmers are now able to benefit and the long

night time trips are a thing of the past.

Narendra is aiming to patent his design and hopes to help lots more farmers in the future.

Lost your remote? Ring your TV

In a report from Uberphones we are told that a new range of cell phones in Korea can work as a remote control for your TV or video/DVD recorder. It is not clear how this would work, I know my DVD player isn’t connected to the phone line, but it would be a good idea nonetheless.

Imagine making a quick call from your sofa to change the channel on your TV, pretty cool idea?
