In many ways, the times of sail-powered ships were simpler. Now one company wants to help cargo ships go old school.

SkySails tested one of their large sails on a Germany-Venezuela voyage and saved $1,000 per day. In buzzwords: SkySails has a hybrid system to bring green energy to the gas-addicted seas.
How can we make things simpler on the web by turning back the clock? There must be something good we can learn from 1995.
