You’ve got the latest surveillance camera, even the best James Bond suit. So you think you’re spy-smart? You can’t even figure out who owns that mysterious number that rang your phone last night. Don’t despair because there is a way—the reverse phone lookup.
The Flexible Laptop
Laptops like most consumer electronic goods are hard and sensitive to shock and even the most expensive ones which use some of the best technology can offer in terms of shock protection. Then comes the ability to produce electronics circuits onto flexible substrates that would allow them to bend and twist without damaging the circuitry and other electronics parts which could herald the age of the less sensitive electronic products. These products are already in use but the future holds more surprises such as the flexible laptop that won’t cease to function after you kinda’ sat on when you were on the bus.
These flexible gadgets and gizmos (OLED’s for example are just some of the exciting new fields of applications for these flexible electronics) would be better for you can’t fathom the amount of abuse we subject current gadgets nowadays. The cellphone that prevented your car door from closing, the iPod that fell out of your pocket while you were skateboarding and many other crazy stuff that would all fall as “out of the terms and conditions of reasonable use” that not only invalidates the warranty but utterly removes all hopes of future repair. Having flexible electronics would allow these gadgets to withstand the twisting and wrestling they undergo in out pockets as we scramble to stuff them full with all the other must have gadgets every time you step out of that door into the world.
Stressed Out – Why not take a break?
Many of us are so stressed out we forget what matters most in life, family and the time we spend with them. It’s not technical, it’s uncomplicated and it’s plain and simple enjoyment with the family. We don’t always have the luxury of focusing on family but what better time to be passionate about yours, than a time like now when the economy is on the rocks and stresses abound. Sound crazy, don’t count us out yet for stress is the number one cause of disease on this planet and is one thing all of us geeks could use a lot less of.
Whether you go on vacation to some far away land or go out of town to a local place you all enjoy, the outcome should always be the same, family time. Being passionate of your family is one of the most neglected ideals of this time and age for we are all so obsessed with making money and buying stuff. Have you ever noticed that the cheapest and most simple ideas make the best impressions on your kids. Those times when everybody seems to get caught up in the moment for no reason at all and everybody remembers as it were yesterday sending everybody to stop what they’re doing and simply talk and reminisce. Now that’s some thing to live for and remember, like the trip to New Jersey you took where everybody just had fun in sun and surf.
Come on people, learn to live again and spend some time with the people you love about the most and stop caring about everything else for a moment and begin living again, begin being human again.
