Every 80 seconds, one person dies from Dengue, a viral disease transmitted by the Aedes Aegypti mosquito. The cases of this disease in Brazil never stop growing. Why? Because 80% of the breeding sites for the Aedes Aegypti mosquito are inside houses, making it very hard to be controlled.
To fight Dengue, QuintoAndar, the largest digital real estate agency in Latin America, has teamed up with Oxitec, a global leader in biotechnology, to spread an innovative technology against the mosquito.
We have created the project Mosquito vs Mosquito, which is a box with never-seen-before technology. Inside each box, there are male mosquitoes genetically modified to fight Aedes Aegypti. The male mosquito doesn't bite or transmit diseases, and when it breeds, it only generates harmless mosquitoes like itself, significantly reducing disease transmission.
We have taken the boxes to our clients, turning our network of houses into a huge mosquito protection network.
We simulated a blackout at the Corinthians Arena, in the middle of a Brazilian Championship game, to showcase the new Wireless Power Share technology of the Galaxy S10, which allows sharing battery with other phones and devices. And, for the first time, a smartphone recharged a stadium.
The Anti-prejudice Keyboard identifies hundreds of prejudiced words and suggests more appropriate synonyms whenever they are typed.
To promote the keyboard, we launched an integrated campaign reminding people that words matter.
We hacked Google to put The North Face at the top of searches, without paying anything for it. How? By simply collaborating with Wikipedia.
Whoever has the technology of an Outlander, doesn't exchange it for anything. Much less for any alien technology.
