Market Drivers

A study on marine supply chain optimisation found that maritime transportation is crucial to global trade. Products are traded via maritime routes in about 90% of cases. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the trade conflict between the United States and China, and the tangible churning of geoeconomics and geopolitics have all had a significant influence on seaborne trade. These elements are pressuring governments all over the world to review and reorganise the global supply chain and put alternative marine power and propulsion systems in place. It is projected that a different global supply chain would expand the fleet of ships that are currently in operation and modernise the current fleet. There is a global push for cleaner energy sources due to growing worries about environmental degradation and climate change. The global marine battery market is driven by marine batteries, which provide a sustainable energy option for boats and ships by lowering ocean pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Marine batteries are in high demand due to the rising popularity of electric and hybrid boats. Marine batteries are a viable option for these boats' need for dependable and effective energy storage systems. The development of sustainable energy technologies like marine batteries is being pushed by the numerous nations that have adopted legislation to cut emissions from ships. Incentives are also being provided by governments to promote the use of green technologies, which is helping to expand the industry.

Market Restraints

Marine batteries still do not have the same energy storage capacity as conventional fuels like petrol or diesel due to their low energy density. This may restrict their use in some high-power marine applications. The marine batteries' short lifespans are another element that can serve as a market limitation. Most marine batteries need to be replaced after a lifespan of three to five years. The marine battery market faces significant obstacles due to inadequate port charging infrastructure. Larger ships have more difficulty storing energy or powering their systems than do smaller ships. For large ships to receive a consistent power supply, multiple cables are needed. Connecting 15-20 heavy cables is neither time-efficient nor practical, especially for ships that are berthed for brief periods of time. Voltage, frequency, and earthing standards for the electrical power supplied by onshore grids are not suitable for vessel needs. To guarantee a sufficient turnaround time, electric vessels would need high-voltage superchargers. Superchargers, however, put a heavy burden on local power networks, and most of them are unable to provide the necessary electricity in a timely manner. Because of this, the global marine battery market is constrained. The first completely electric ferry deployments need enough storage space to enable a quicker turnaround.

Impact Of COVID-19 On Market

  Manufacturers of marine batteries have experienced supply chain disruption because to the COVID-19 outbreak. Production and delivery have been delayed because of a shortage of raw materials and components brought on by factory closures and transit constraints. The pandemic has resulted in a fall in demand for marine batteries due to a slowdown in the maritime industry and a decrease in worldwide trade. The market's expansion has also been hampered by a drop in demand. Investments in the marine battery business have decreased because of the epidemic. Investors are reluctant to make market investments due to the ambiguous economic climate. The marine industry's transition to sustainable solutions has been sped up by the COVID-19 epidemic. The sector is currently concentrating on lowering its carbon footprint, which has increased demand for environmentally friendly and long-lasting marine batteries. The marine battery business has some room for expansion despite the difficulties the epidemic has brought about. In the post-pandemic period, the market is anticipated to develop because of factors such as the rising demand for electric boats and ships and the growing popularity of renewable energy sources.

Impact of Russia-Ukraine Conflict on Global Marine Battery Market

There are several unintended consequences of the crisis between Russia and Ukraine on the market for marine batteries worldwide. In the first place, it has heightened geopolitical tensions and instability in the area, raising worries about the security of oil supplies. Numerous nations have been compelled by this to step up their efforts to lessen their reliance on fossil fuels and move towards renewable energy sources. Economic sanctions against Russia because of the conflict have had a knock-on effect on the world economy. The supply chains of numerous industries, including the marine battery market, have been impacted by the sanctions, which have made it more challenging for Russian businesses to conduct business with their counterparts in other nations. Oil prices have risen because of the conflict, increasing the cost of operating ships that use conventional fossil fuels. This has sped up the transition to electric propulsion systems and the use of marine batteries. Although the conflict has had some indirect effects on the marine battery business, these effects have been rather minor. This is since there is still a tiny market for marine batteries and that the conflict has not had a substantial effect on the supply or manufacture of marine batteries.

Market Segmentation

The Global Marine Battery Market is segmented into Battery, Capacity, Design, and Application. Based on the Battery, Lithium-ion segment accounted for largest market share in 2022, and is anticipated to consolidate its position during the forecast period with CAGR 13.77%, owing to highest electrochemical potential.

Playdia - Wikipedia

The Playdia (プレイディア, Pureidia) (developed under the codename "BA-X"[2]) is a home video game console released exclusively in Japan in 1994[3] at the initial price of ¥24,800.[4] It was intended for a young audience and, like many consoles of the era (e.g. the LaserActive and the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer), was marketed more as a multimedia home entertainment system than as a dedicated gaming console,[5] with anime quiz software and edutainment making up most of the game library. The Playdia uses a single infrared joypad with simple controls. Bandai, the Playdia's manufacturer, was the only software publisher to support this console (except for VAP who published Ie Naki Ko - Suzu no Sentaku instead of Bandai).

GAO suggests 7 ways to improve gig worker tax compliance

Times are tough for Uber and Lyft operations in California.

Both ride-hailing services are threatening to temporarily shut down in the wake of a Golden State law that took effect in January and, more notably, a recent San Francisco Superior Court order that the companies classify their drivers as employees instead of contractors.

This battle between the popular transportation option and California officials is playing out as the Internal Revenue Service continues its efforts to educate gig workers about their tax responsibilities.

A recent Government Accountability Office (GAO) report has some ideas on how to make sure more freelance workers know or and comply with their required tax tasks.

Here's a look at gig employment, the government watchdog's suggestions (7 in all) to improve tax payment on that money and why the IRS isn't that thrilled about some of the GAO ideas.

Growing taxpayer group: The GAO says there could be up to 2 million of so-called platform workers. This subset of gig economy workers offers goods or services — for example, transportation, retail or short-term lodging — by connecting to customers through a mobile app or other online platform.

"Unfortunately, platform workers may not realize that a company is treating them as independent contractors rather than employees, and as such, these workers have different tax requirements," writes James R. McTigue in a recent post on WatchBlog, the GAO's blog.

Further complicating tax matters, notes McTigue, are the platform companies that only transfer funds between buyers and sellers. They may have reduced reporting requirements.

This means, according the GAO report highlighted in McTigue's post, that platform workers may not get needed tax information on their earnings. That in turn makes it difficult for them to comply with their filing requirements. It also

This income reporting gap also creates enforcement challenges for IRS.

The GAO graphic below illustrates how workers in the same job might have different tax responsibilities under a platform economy vs. a traditional employer.

aFor this figure, we use the term platform worker for workers whom the platform company is classifying as independent contractors.

bOnly payments to platform workers who are treated as independent contractors and who are paid through a Third-Party Settlement Organization's (TPSO) payment network are subject to Form 1099-K reporting. Form 1099-K reporting is not required when TPSOs pay independent contractors and employees directly rather than through the TPSO's payment network. Platform companies that classify workers as employees have the same responsibilities as other employers.

cEmployer sends W-2 to the Social Security Administration, which then sends the data to IRS.

  Going beyond tax communications: In its taxpayer compliance report "More Income Reporting Needed for Taxpayers Working Through Online Platforms," the GAO noted that the IRS has developed a communications plan, notably its online Gig Economy Tax Center, aimed at workers in the platform, or as the IRS calls it the gig economy.

The GAO lauds the IRS for this move. However, the government watchdog agency says the IRS plan doesn't have a monitoring component to ensure that the tax message actually addresses platform workers' challenges.

To help in this area, the GAO identified seven actions that could help improve tax compliance for workers. They are:

Change Schedule C or Form 1099-NEC so that taxpayers can identify if they received payment for platform work.

Develop a process for monitoring feedback on its communications efforts and products tailored for platform workers, which should include documenting and evaluating feedback.

Clarify the instructions and publications for Forms 1040 and 1099-K by adding plain language to clearly indicate to platform workers that the forms apply to them.

Amend the 6050W tie-breaker rule that applies to duplicative reporting requirements so that payments made through a third-party payment network are reportable under Section 6041, rather than under Section 6050W.

Determine what thresholds would be the most appropriate for payment information Recommendations for Executive Action Page 32 GAO-20-366 Taxpayer Compliance reporting and, if warranted, recommend that Congress adjust the thresholds. (Recommendation 5)

Implement voluntary withholding for companies making payments for services to platform workers and other independent contractors who choose to participate.

Assess the impact of withholding that is voluntary for companies, once implemented, and if warranted, work with the Secretary of the Treasury on a proposal to Congress that would require TPSOs to offer tax withholding to platform workers and other independent contractors who choose to participate.

The two GAO recommendations that I find most interesting are a voluntary withholding option and the change to forms indicating that a filer's earnings are from gig/platform work.

The IRS, according to the report, rejected both of these suggestions.

The more you know: When it come to the form changes, the agency told GAO that it has no evidence that platform workers pose a greater compliance risk and that the platform worker designation, by itself, would not be a selection factor for compliance actions.

That may well be true, but by asking filers whether any of their income is from gig work, you remind them at actual filing time that they must pay tax on the money.

And the IRS asked just such an income source question this year on Schedule 1.

At the top of that form that millions used to report earnings other than salaries, there was the yes/no checkbox query, "At any time during 2019, did you receive, sell, send, exchange or otherwise acquire any financial interest in any virtual currency?"

To IRS' point opposing a similar gig earning question, its bitcoin etc. inquiry was posed because the agency says many owners and traders of virtual currency did not realize their tax liabilities and this was an effort to make them comply with the law.

But that cryptocurrency question rationale is the very reason to ask a similar question of filing freelancers. They, too, often do not understand the full tax implications of their app-based gigs or side hustles.

Putting that reminder directly on Form 1040 which all filers will use, rather than a related schedule that they might not realize they need to file, will make gig workers aware they need to include the earning on their returns.

Some tax now, rather than more later: As for voluntary withholding, I'm an independent contractor and am well aware how important full payments are to cash flow.

But cash flow can be disrupted even more when you have to come up with a chunk of money four times a year for estimated tax payments. Or worse, an even larger amount at filing time when you didn't pay enough via 1040-ES filings.

A lot of gig workers probably wouldn't use voluntary withholding. But for those who would, it could be beneficial for them and the IRS. And similar voluntary withholding options are available to recipients of taxable Social Security and unemployment benefits. It seems worth expanding to gig payments.

The IRS, however, opposed this proposal, telling GAO that its role is to administer tax law rather than propose tax policy changes. Also, the IRS says it cannot commit to an implementation date for publishing guidance on a voluntary withholding program due to higher priorities.

I get it. Lots on the IRS plate, especially with the coronavirus pandemic disrupting the 2020 filing season and creating additional duties such as issuing COVID-19 economic relief payments.

But, c'mon IRS, at least put it on your future to-do list rather than dismissing the suggestion outright.

As for IRS qualms about getting involved in tax policy, let's go straight to the appropriate Capitol Hill sources.

Members of Congress are always bemoaning the tax gap, the amount of money Uncle Sam is owed but that the IRS isn't able to collect. Federal lawmakers, particularly those on the House Ways and Means and Senate Finance committees should peruse this GAO report and come up with legislative changes to deal with gig economy under reporting.

I'm copying this post and report to my Representative and Senators, as well as the tax-writing committees. Feel free to do the same if you agree with the GAO ideas.

History of Laptops

Laptop, also well-known as notebook, is computer that easy to take with. It was created due to the needs of people on computers that are portable so they can do their work anywhere even on their lap. Laptop is a portable computer that can be used on the lap. However, portable computer is not always a laptop since some of them is too big to be set on the lap. Therefore portable computers are slightly different than laptops.

Best rate notebook available today were not like that when they were first invented. Some of them were as big as luggage. Others were looked like a big calculator. However, efforts were made through the years, to make better and better portable computer, both in display and performance. 

History of laptops below trying to describe the efforts in the 1970s and 1980s to build small, portable personal computers that combine the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer in a small chassis. Not all records will be included, but especially for those who made new breakthroughs in developing a portable computer.

History of Laptop

Dynabook   

1968 – Dynabook was invented by Alan Kay. It was considered as the first laptop. It had a very flat shape, so it was also called  Tablet PC or Slate Computer. Originally created for children to give them access to digital media, but then also be useful for military operations documentation.      

MCM/70

1974 – MCM/70 was first built in 1973 and released in 1974. It was a pioneering microcomputer, making MCM/70 as first microcomputer in the world, first portable computer, first truly usable microcomputer system (arguably) and the second to be shipped in completed form. It came only with full 46 key input, plasma display and cassette drives. There were a bus structure to allow interface to other peripherals developed by MCM such as floppy disk drive, printer, plotter, card reader, etc.  

Xerox Note Taker

1976 – On April, Xerox Note Taker, the first portable computer, was invented by Xerox PARC Company, who also developed Dynabook on 1968. Those who involved in this invention were Larry Tesler, Adele Goldberg and Douglas Fairbaim. Only 10 prototypes were built since it had slow processing speeds and very high cost of production. 

Osborne 1

1981 – The first true mobile computer, Osborne 1, was invented by Adam Osborne. Osborne 1 came with 5” screen, modem port, 2 5¼” floppy disk drives, a battery pack and a bundled collection of software. And its weight was about 11 kgs. This computer was larger and heavier compared to today’s laptop however this is the first computer that enables professionals to bring their computers and working data to wherever they go. Osborne1 was priced at $1,795.    

GRiD Compass 1101

1982 - GRiD Compass 1101 was launched. It was designed by William Moggridge as an ultimate portable computer. It was probably the first clamshell style portable computer. Many considered that it is the grand-daddy of all present-day laptop computers. GRiD Compass is very high-tech, with its flat-black, die-cast magnesium-alloy case, and bright, sharp electroluminescent display (ELD). No other system packed so much speed and power in as small a case, and none had such a unique and large, easy-to-read screen, allowing full 80x24 text. GRiD Compass 1101 used their operating system, GRiD-OS operating system. Price : $ 8,150.   

Epson HX-20

1982 - Epson HX-20 was introduced at 1981 COMDEX computer show in Las Vegas and got great attention as the beginning of powerful, battery-operated and briefcase-sized computer. Yes, this was the first laptop-sized portable computer. It came with a full-transit 68-key keyboard, rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries, a small (120×32-pixel) dot-matrix LCD with 4 lines of text, 20 characters per line text mode, a 24 column dot matrix printer, a Microsoft BASIC interpreter, and 16 KB of RAM (expandable to 32 KB). Epson HX-20 first sold widely in 1982 and became the most popular non clamshell laptop. [caption id="attachment_1041" align="alignright" width="300"]

This model was the successor of the Macintosh Portable was which was a huge and heavy. So, PowerBook was not Apple’s first portable computer, however it was an improvement in almost every way - smaller, lighter, and cheaper, while maintaining identical functionality.

PowerBook were the first laptop which place its keyboard towards the back, and placed trackball and palmrest in front of keyboard. It was pioneering laptop ergonomics and it was followed by all subsequent systems and became standard in portable computer devices. The trackball was used to reposition the on-screen pointer, so user did not need move their hand from keyboard.

IBM ThinkPad

1992 - IBM ThinkPad was announced in April 1992 and available in October 1992. ThinkPad came in three models, 300, 700 and 700C. Although ThinkPad was not IBM's first laptop computers, this series made an immediate hit, and received more than 300 awards for quality and design. IBM ThinkPad 700 and 700C is the first laptop which used trackpoint controller, , a tiny joystick in the middle of keyboard, to navigate cursor point. With this feature, user did not need move their hand from keyboard when they needed to reposition the on-screen pointer. ThinkPad, then, was bought out by Lenovo, a Chinese company, in 2005.

IBM ThinkPad 775CD

1994 – In October 1994, the first-ever laptop with integrated CD-ROM was introduced by IBM, The ThinkPad 775CD. These innovation were revolutionary because CD-ROM still was rarely integrated to the computer, moreover to portable computer which had limited space.
