LifeStraw

Gizmag is calling it one of the most brilliant inventions of the new century. Essentially, it is a small, cheap, and portable water filtration system that can be mass produced to drastically reduce third world illness from contaminated drinking water. It sounds good. Part of me wonders how effective it will be considering most of these illnesses could already be avoided using simple measures like boiling your drinking water.
