         A new technology has emerged that allows you to generate electricity with your footsteps. Yes, you heard it right! A company based in the United Kingdom, called Pavegen, has developed this innovative technology.      During the World Future Energy Conference in the United Arab Emirates, Pavegen showcased this technology.
