Describe your featured media and how it will enhance the user’s life and experience.

The Google PowerMeter will give the user a detailed description of the amount of energy each appliance uses. For example, you can find out how much money you will save on your utility bills when you turn down your air conditioning by one degree.   

This will enhance the user’s experience because it will help the user be more aware of the amount of energy they are using. This, in turn, will help the environment and help the user save their money and further stimulate the economy by investing that money somewhere else.

In terms of the entrepreneurial career, the PowerMeter will show the entrepreneur, in real time, how much power they are using right on their computer. It will change the amount of their profit that will be going towards utilities in any given month.

As Google accurately describes it, the current way of paying for our electricity bills is like going into a store with no prices on the items. The utility company sends you how much you owe for the month and virtually no other information. The PowerMeter will raise consciousness about how much energy we are using.
