The gondola originated in Venice, Italy, that magical city situated on a series of six islands at the edge of the Adriatic Sea. The “streets” of Venice are waterways, making boats the official transportation choice. Of all the differing watercraft in Venice, the gondola is the most well-known.
The gondola is a traditional, flat-bottomed Venetian rowing boat, well suited to the conditions of the Venetian lagoon. ... For centuries, the gondola was a major means of transportation and the most common watercraft within Venice.

Gondola Rides Aren't Only in Venice. Gondolas are the most iconic images of Venice, Italy. And, a gondola ride through Venice's canals is probably high on many travelers' bucket lists.

How much does a gondola ride cost in Venice 2019?
The city of Venice set official rates for gondola rides, with prices starting at €80 for a 40-minute ride as of 2019. Rides can be increased in length, with an extra 20 minutes costing €40. After 7pm the cost of a gondola ride in Venice increases to €100 for 40 minutes, with an extra 20 minutes costing €50.

Is a gondola ride in Venice worth it?
A gondola ride in Venice is not worth its high price. ... In short, if you want to cruise the canals of Venice, this boat tour with Walks of Italy is the way to go! No, it's not your typical, iconic gondola ride. But in the end, you do get more bangs for your buck and a better experience to boot!

The IBM device lost all its programming and data as soon as it turns off, unlike the Michigan Micro Mote, which retained its programming even when it wasn’t externally powered. “It’s more of a matter of opinion whether they have the minimum functionality required,” said David Blaauw, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at University of Michigan who helped develop the University of Michigan's newest tiny device. If the IBM machine constituted a computer, then University of Michigan would work to gain back their title: their latest micro device measures 0.3mm per side (1/10th the size of IBM’s computer), and is smaller than a grain of rice.
