Discussion 7 - 10/20/08

Hi Folks! Thanks for logging in!

Let's do the super-cool new technology one more time. Take a look at these sites:

http://tinyurl.com/5tdugo

Productdose is not all technology, but it is a cool site to look at new stuff. Techeblog is about concept items. Those are items that are not in production, but will likely shape the items that will GET into production. Companies use concept items all the time to test out different ideas.

Pick something and tell me what you think about it.

BREAKING NEWS! I took the ProductDose link down because they upload new items on Mondays and a couple of them published today might be somewhat offensive. So just take a look at Techeblog and check out the new concepts!

Okay first is the Quattroflex. Thats like the ultimate luxury tricycle. I would ride around everywhere if I had that thing.
Second is that red Honda bike. Can I say hot? I love motorbikes and that just put the icing on the cake. I so want that.
Both items are like something out of a Sci-Fi movie and I love science fiction.

murillo, j - 1 said...

unlike other concepts the idea behind this is to recycle reuse old outdated and obsolete 1.44 mb floppy discs and reuse the housing to create modern usb hard drives

Auxier, Emily - 4 said...

The Audi Concept was pretty dang cool - but im afraid that this product would make people in america more over weight then we are right now (which makes it really bad) becuase we would all get one and not ever walk again. Oh and Mrs. L, You might want to think about taking off the Noose Lamp becuase somone might thing your promoting suicides in School and then who knows - maybe you will end up on FOX News or Good Morning America =) Just thought I would let you know! hahaha

McCorvey,T-1 said...

Well i liked the Big Spaceship,and the Nokia Phone Concept,but most of all i liked the Audio Concept.The reason why i like the Audio Concept is that, i love music, and i want to be a music producer one day.But their are other neat things that are intresting also.

Thompson,O-1 said...

All of the things listed besides the Nokia Concept Phone, IBM Security, Big Spaceship, Honda Bike, are ridiculouse and pointless.

Tri-Edge said...

ok I've been looking at that red Honda Bike but I don't understand how it works. I don't see any wheels on it. Whats up with that?

Calderon,A-1 said...

there are a lot of cool stuff i really love the HONDA BIKE but is kind of weird becuse it doesn't have tires like normal cars.
i think that the STANDING BIKE is not a great idea, because on the regular one you go sitting and you get so tired, and the standing bike (i think) you will get tired so fast specially for the little kids.

Ashley Manis said...

I love the wooden phone. It has a camera and everything!! I would totally get one if I ever saw it on the market.
(I would break mine to get it =D)
The only other thing that caught my attention was the iRegister. Its design is appealing and it would definately help when you go out to eat(well as long as you had a credit card).

Rigsby,D-1 said...

i would get the Honda Bike big time. I have never seen anything like this before.It like someone took a dream and made it true.

chanelectronic said...

I'm with Mr. McCorvey and Mr. Thompson. The Second Solar is by far the coolest thing I've seen yet. Why do kids these days get it sooo good? What happened to just playing in the ridiculously large T.V. box that your dad just bought and PRETENDING it was a spaceship that bought you to a new solar system to get away from your math teacher? Really - and that bike thing! Lucky little boogers...

Cole,R-1 said...

The Nokia Concept phone, looks really cool. I like it because it's diffrent and looks cool.

Now just if it works like it says it does.

Design and Technology meet = Amazing

mcgown,a-1 said...

Honestly none of the new concepts really sparked my interest except that tiny cash register idea. It would be a good way to cut down on labor at a resturant. Dont get me wrong all the the concept show how technologically advanced we are becoming but I really dont see myself buying any of the things. As a whole, most of the ideas are going to stay in idea land fora while.

Gilbreath,J-1 said...

Ryan Veasey, the wheels on the bike are covered in a type of material shaped specifically to reduce drag. In other words, it makes you go ZOOM, ZOOM, ZOOM!

Yes, the Honda is a nice, slightly innovative idea. And so is the Audi concept, with its lawn-mower shape and odd design.

The Flat Out is just...I don't even want to say anything.

martines,j-1 said...

i think that some of this stuff could be very helpful in the future. like the i register it could be faster for waiters, and the big spaceship can be good to explore other places in the galaxy

Liles, T-1 said...

Well seeing as how their is nothing i can do about this wave of riddiculous and useless stuff. Im going to say something good about one of the concepts rather than something negative, i really liked the Nokia phone, especially with its multi-functioning screen, i have to hand it to who ever made up that idea, they did a good job.

Driver,K- 2 said...

I really dont like all the ideas accept the Honda Bike and the Wooden Phone. I would ride the honda bike only if its red and I like the idea of a wooden phone cause I have not seen one yet. Oh yeah, the spaceship is kinda cool too

allensworth, z-2 said...

that flat out car is just stupid it offers no advantages and on top of that it just looks stupid if you really want to be that close to the ground then just freaking roll somewhere that way you wouldn't total your car running over a dang turtle!!!

brittain,w-2 said...

i think the IBM Security laptop is cool. it lets u shred important documents that u dont want to get stolen and it has a scanner so u can scan pictures and stuff (i guess) onto your computer

Johnson,O-2 said...

I think the flat out is stupid. Because if your driving and you get hit your straight up dead! And plus I don't want to see a big bald-headed man step out. You know what I mean *wink

The NOKIA IS MAKING A COME BACK!!!The Nokia Concept Phone ain't your normal brick!

HOLY CRACKER WACK!!!! LOOK AT THAT!!!!!
I WANT IT!!! I WANT THE Honda Bike!!!!!
HOLY TREASURE CHEAST BATMAN!!! WHERE'S THE KICKSTAND!!!!!!

packard,a-2 said...

i love the laptop security thing i think it could be used agianst little siblings and high crime espionage. and i love the quattroflex but it would get cold in the winter driving around in that thing!! and the wooden phone is so dumb!! well at least the phone would float if dropped in the toilet!!! but it is cutting down more trees for nothing!!

reed, k - 2 said...

I think that the Honda bike was bike was cool and the color was very pretty but I wonder does it really work the wheels are very funny looking. I thought that the wooden phone was pretty weird I don't think its a phone I would want to buy.

mayfield,s-1 said...

I like the Honda Bike and the Audi Concept, I would go any and everywhere if I had the Honda Bike, and I would just sit back and relax if I had the Audi Concept.

villanueva, manuel, N. 1 said...

There were really only two things that caught my eye and they were the honda bike, and the wooden phone, there pretty cool.

Dietrich,R-3 said...

I think most of the stuff is pretty useless but thats what future is about... having things that do new retarted things. but the bike and the car thing above it near the bottem look pretty cool... mostly the car thing. although the laptop and the iregister both look pretty dumb. although i bet you that in the next 5 years we shall have phones with shredders and that can send toast messages.

Patton,A-1 said...

the honda bike is so cool.the only concern is how does it move.it would be really cool to have.

payne, j - 3 said...

A lot of these new technology is revolutionaliqing movment. The Honda bike. The Quattroflex. Both are great for the future of movement. The I register though is kinda just a gimmick.

Gonzalez, C-1 said...

I really don't have an opinion on most of these things seeing as to how they are concept and there numerous and practical flaws that no one ever sees and stuff. Its always good to fantasize and push our minds to the limit to create the next mind-blowing gizmo....just as long as its not useless or retarted. Gotta love the honda bike though...I want that. Also, does it look like a hover bike to anyone? I don't know what it is.

anderson,p-3 said...

I think the iRegister will make the job of all the people working resturants a whole lot easier. I don't seen how the Honda bike is going to work. The wooden phone is my least favorite, it looks like a old school radio with a touch screen.

robles,l-3 said...

ok, what is the deal with the standing bike. i would like to be sitting down. now the honda bike is cool looking. the audi concept is a good idea but it will not happend on my live time. the big spaceship looks nice. it would be a cool thing for us to buy a spaceship and go rolling to the moon.

otis,j-3 said...

Everything on the list looks awesome, especially the honda bike and Quattroflex trike. However, the energy mate device for your house is strange; letting you know whenever the toilet is flushed and how much it costs each time=$.

borerw-4 said...

I like the Honda Bike. Its cool and smooth. I realy like cars and all that so thats my favorite. Its not realy a peice of tech, but its realy cool.

Campbell,A-4 said...

My fav thing on here is the Laptop with the BUILT-IN scanner and paper shreader..though the huge bump on the keyboard is like a Safe combo-lock or a thumbprint scanner right? Anyways it just looks really cool and I really really want it

edwards, a - 4 said...

I would like to have the standing bike. I like the Honda bike too, but I'll be too scared to get on it. I wonder who's trippy idea is to make a wooden phone. The 60s are over!!!

Brice, R-4 said...

Wow......Lotus Europa on page 4 is the most extreme bad a car ive ever seen in my life!!! Its gonna cost a fortune though....why can't i be rich and be able to buy one?!?!?!!? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

ferrell, a-4 said...

I dont know about yall, but i saw this hummer on that teche web site, and it was spinnin on wooden spoke wheels. now thats aue some. you'd never get a flat tire. and that motosycle er bodie is talkin bout it dont even have no padded seat. talk about like ridin a catctus around probably.

Lanham said...

Grrrrrr technology. I posted this earlier and APPARENTLY what had happened was . . . I closed before I saved. Ugh. Here I go again.

Em . . . thanks for the heads up. And no, I don't care to be on FOX News tyvm.

Ashley . . . I wonder if the wooden phone would float if you dropped it in the tub? Hmmm.

Tyler . . . you're just grumpy about new technology. Just give in to it, will ya? I agree about the Nokia phone. I just want to touch it.

LOL @ Zack.

Jason that's a good point about revolutionizing movement. I think a lot of these concepts will change the way we get around. I personally would drive that Audi concept right now.

John . . . I just don't think I need to know how much every single flush costs, yanno? LOL

morrow,k-4 said...

whaaat!? freaking sweet! i love it all, well almost all of it that honda bike takes all the fun out of bikes. i still prefer the old harley fatboy instead of that ugly and odd thing, as a future motorcycle mechanic i would seriously HATE to work on that thing.

Byrd,N-6 said...

The irgister thing that has the menu pictures on it is pretty cool im actually getting hunry looking at it right now. Its also is a really good idea because actually showing a pic of the food increases the persons appetite even more.

Abdul-786 said...

i like that honda bike the best it looks reallly cool and i would very much want one all the other stuff is ok i think its usable.

Meredith,B-6 said...

I'd have to say that the honda bike is pretty sweet and the audi joystick controlled car thing then both look like somthing out of a sci-fi movie but hey it's still pretty cool

Cuarenta,A-6 said...

i think the most useful would be the ENERGY MATE because it would help out with the bills!!!!
that is exactly what we need at my house...
however some of the things seem pretty pointless like the 22inch car????

wallace,c-6 said...

the audi complex thing was amazing. ive always wanted to pay tons of money for a suped up golf cart looking think without a top that will probably travel at a maximum of 5 miles an hour. same with the little 1in of the ground car. u can probably save millions on gas with that one. actually no, im sorry, low riders just arnt fo me.

Maness, J-6 said...

As cool as some of the items on there are, most of them are still only concepts. But who needs a laptop with a scanner and paper shredder? definitely not the average person. and those cars are dangerous, how easy would it be to flip out of the audi or what happens if you get run over in the 22 inch car? Dead.

Sauceda, Maria=]- 6 said...

To be honest none of this things really appeared to be interesting. Only the energy mate thing seemed to be useful and one day could be use worldwide. It helps save energy!!!..also money. So its good for the enviroment.

Lanham said...

Kristi . . . I truly haven't thought of any of those concepts from the point of view of a mechanic! Can you imagine how jam-packed that stuff would be in there!

Chase . . . you KNOW you'd roll around in that thing looking cool with some Oakley's on. Who cares if it doesn't GO FAST. As long as it LOOKS LIKE it GOES FAST! lol

Yeah Blake . . . it does all look like it came straight out of IRobot.

Copeland, Juston7 said...

i thick that the standing bike is really cool the way you stand up and petal and then it can save energy for you just to ride around on it which is very cool because then your just cruising

lee, s - 7 said...

Wow! This is really cool. I want hover motorcycle. Really. How are they make it hover motorcycle. This is really werid. the Audi Concept has 4 wheel. I never seen it before.

rodriguez,stephen-1 said...

the flatout seem to me the coolest thing on there. Just cuz I can picture my self driving like under a semitruck like in the first fast and the furious.

Broadway,M-1 said...

Some of this stuff is pretty cool and of the chain. But it also kind of out there. The DELL is pretty and so is the iRegister is cool I guess. iBangle & Standing Bike kind off. Nokia Concept Phone is cool,but a spaceship is kind of weird to.

arriola,brett-1 said...

i like that bike it looks really cool..like supamans bike but how does it go because there are no tires D:??

Hollingsworth,C-1 said...

The nokia morph looks really interesting. All the options and different designs that it could do is really cool. And that some how it turns into a bracelet is nifty. Think about it...people just talking into their wrists...

Anonymous said...

The notebook PC looks EXACTLY like a regular notebook. That's awesome cause you can fool people with it. If we had had those when I was younger, I would definately have taken it to school everyday. I might've failed because I didn't do my work but I wouldn't have cared.

Hernandez, Ruben 3rd said...

the stuff in the website is pretty cool because they have some pretty good designs but the only problem would be when they are out for shooping.what would the price be

och,s-4 said...

The Dell XPS PC idea is really neat. It's cool that it is all in one little cylindrical thing and it pulls out into a keyboard and a computer screen. Too neat.

taylor, Q - 6 said...

well of course i think some of this stuff is useless yet cool..like always...but i do think that the iRegister would be a very usefull thing for business...but i would like to ride in the flat out car...seems like fun[[hehe]]

Bixler,T-6 said...

That was a really short car, I dont think i could even get in that thing. But there was a lot of very cool devices that I would love to get if it evers work.

Trikosko, M-1 said...

How many of these IThings that go around your hands are we going to see? Like the IRing a couple of weeks ago that controled your IPod.That IBM Security laptop is neat, but the knob might get in the way of typing, they need to redesign it.

cano,ruben-7 said...

The Honda bike was the most interisting thing that i liked.

This futuristic Honda bike could be a dangerous vechicle because is a faster and upgraded bike...it could also ancourage youngsters to race in the streets!! --auww--

Lopez, M-1~☺ said...

That's some pretty interesting items they have going on there. The Notebook PC and Dell XPS PC seems like a must have for school. Plus I find it hilarious about that French fry holder. Honestly, I think people are bored out of there minds these days. Ah, and what about that standing bike? I think it's cute for decoration. Ah and Zonda R appears to be a must have car!!! :3 I wants one

arnold,t.7 said...

wow....i like the iPod Capsule because u can take it with you it is small that you can put it anywhere u want it to put at and i want one of those so i can be the first person with it.

tutt,matthew said...

Its pretty cool how these various companies can come up with these things like super portable computers.

lathan,l-1 said...

I think its great toee all the knew things I realy like the green and black car because I have fun looking at cars that the are going to some how event it...!We all have things we want to event but that is one I would like to use at anytime. we have had some things to talk about and thouse tings are finaly here there be here in a few years but I think its great to see that car that was green and black. The only thing I would change is the color other thin that hay its cool man.
