While many of us live in a world of unprecedented access to technology, the question of how we harness those resources to better the world is a perennial one. We begin the new year with a series called "Innovation That Matters," a chance to hear from big thinkers who are shaping better, more sustainable solutions to some of the world's most pressing problems. Today, Robert Freling shares his vision of solar-powered villages, from Benin to Bhutan. Not just for lighting, but for network access to education, medicine and knowledge.
