November 6, 2012 by noemi Leave a Comment

Technology is meant to change people’s lives. Whether it turns out to be for better or for worse, it depends on how the technology is used. There are some gadgets that have changed the way we live our daily lives so strongly, however, that it is worth taking a look at them. Maybe, we can even take a minute or two to evaluate whether their integration into our lives has resulted in something positive or negative.

Smartphones

If you are old enough, you will certainly remember the days when mobile phones were only seen rarely. Doctors, lawyers, and businessmen were usually the only ones who used them, and they were bulky as your winter comforter. And, all they could do was to make voice calls.

How many times have you played the game of “throw popcorn at me, and I’ll catch it with my wide open mouth” with your friends or siblings? I have not done it in a while, but there it is hard to think of a silly activity that can offer so much fun. Well, unless you count throwing peanuts, and other similar finger food.

Enter the Popinator. The machine that takes away the need to use your hands to have some popcorn fun. [Read more…] about The Popinator Takes the Finger Out of Finger Food

The clickety clacking sound that the metal makes as it strikes the sheet of paper rolled up against the cylinder…the unmistakable ding when you “hit return”…the tactile experience of actually pounding the keys…all this, and more, make the typewriting experience a totally different one from what young kids know these days.

Of course, it cannot be denied that laptops and tablets are more convenient and provide so much more. However, if you have those nostalgic moments like I ~~more than~~ occasionally do, you will love the idea of having an actual typewriter keyboard to pound away on.

Who likes to go camping? It sure is not an activity for everyone, but hey, even the Big Bang Theory gang went on a camping trip of their own. Sure, they were there to observe an astronomical event, and they had tons of high tech equipment with them – not to mention food, but the point is that camping is still one of the most fun experiences that you can have.

Of course, you have to be properly equipped so that you do not end up being miserable. That’s what the BioLite CampStove is for. I think. [Read more…] about BioLite CampStove for the Techie Camper

Say what? Yup, you read that right. There is now such a thing as a smartphone-compatible toothbrush. Off the top of my head, I cannot find any plausible reason for me to need, or even simply want, smartphone-compatible toothbrush. However, it really does exist, and it is called Beam. [Read more…]
