Blog 5 - 10/5/09

Hola peeps! Thanks for logging in.

This week I want to do something that we will do several times throughout the year. I want to look at *sparkly* (man, where is Emily when I need her?) new technology. I have a couple of really good sites for this. They are:

http://tinyurl.com/ztsat

and

http://www.yankodesign.com/

Techeblog is more hard-core nerdy. Yanko is ABOUT the design of technology.

Don't stop on Page 1!!! Techeblog has an "older entries" button and Yanko has more pages listed at the bottom. Take a look around. Pick a product and tell me WHY you like it or how you think it could change our lives.

ALSO: Some of you have been earning ZEROS because you are not ADVANCING the discussion. As I have made ABUNDANTLY clear, posting a "that's cool" will NOT earn you a grade. This is a DISCUSSION. I want opinions with reasons!!! If you can't give me that much effort, then I can't give you enough effort to type a 100 in your grade book!

Talk to me . . .

I believe that the techno would be great for our society today and it can help us reacha level that was not reached before so it will give a wider room to create more things that would make our life more sucessful

Tate, T - 6 said...

Seeing the stuff that we are comming up with is just breath taking. For example, the vertical bike parking or even the showers station. All of this would really make our lives even more convinient. I would personally want to see these come out in the future. All i know is that yankodesigns is going in my favorites!

Long, W - 7 said...

i looked at the solar its soo handy i mean my phone alwasy dies at the wrong time i could just be sitting outside my phone die and pull out my handy power tree put it in the ground and plug my charger in and problem solve di thing its cool i would buy it

Spencer, J - 2 said...

Most of the things that they say were going to have in the future is great. Especially the new PS4 but,i wouldn't waste my time spending 700 dollars for a game electronic system thats ridiculose.............

Clark,A-7 said...

i want that super crazy awesome yacht!!! it is so pointlessly extravagent... and it looks pretty. the technology involved in making that thing is testament to how far we have come in just the past few years. @ tater quit turning off my computer!

Rigsby,D-1 said...

What the deuce Mrs. L did I just see a laser watch. Next thing you know we gonna be livin like star wars. Where people have holograms of each other. No need for a phone. Btw imma Ray to post on this and have a good day.

Baker,M-1 said...

First of is "The Chair". That is the stupidest thing ive seen on here, and ive seen some very stupid things on this site.

My favoite thing on here TooRings. The can tighten and loosen. This is incase your husband cheats on you, you can tighten his ring. and vice versa. I wonder, if he cheats on you multiple times, will his finger get cut off?

Patton,A-1 said...

the ps4 is awesome. the only thing i would be worried about is the breakableness. it looks as if it would break easily on account of its made of glass and plastic. but other than that it is going to be awesome.

Gonzalez, C-1 said...

Are we really wasting our money on things as pointless as the Ice coffee dileo and the Touch. Functional, but pointless. Same thing as the middle seat dish. It slightly irritates me that some people actually spend there money on making such useless ideas. It would make more of an impact if they probably used there money to find ways to contribute to techs that we would actually need. I agree with the wind up batteries and the solar panels cause those are at least more useful than others.

Culbertson, D-1 said...

So....many....pretties!
Of course you know what caught my eye...Playstation 4 omg! It looks so awesome!
I wonder when it will be released?(The new X-Box looks lame..) I hope it won't take too long, and when it comes out it better not be thousands like I was hearing :P
I can't view the Lightsaber or Laser Watch for some reason, but I do know someone who has made their own with a Websites help, and it really is battle-ready lol, sweet...
WE NEED TO MAKE ONE IN CLASS!
Who is with me!? XD

Trikosko, M-1 said...

The next generation console designs are laughable, who wants to play on a space-ship looking thing, not the mention the super shiny PS4. I hate shiny electronics, they get strachy and scuffed and soon beome ugly as heck.

Lopez, M-1~☺ said...

Seriously, who wants a person x-ray machine in their home? Obviously people just wanting an x-ray machine for no reason. It's a bit strange, no? But perhaps it could be costly.
I like the idea of the solar panels on the tops of skyscrapers!!! I guess it could improve the atmosphere in big cities like Houston and yea, pollution sucks.
But I love the KQC Turbo II!!! Awesomest hair staightner in the world!!!
And Andrew...the PS4 looks like a fail at being futuristic! It's like well, not awesome, Just sayin. I think I'll stick to my PS2 and PSP

robinson,s-1 said...

The one design that i found particularly cool was the shadow lighting. This gadget allow you not only to control shadows in the room, but also to sculpt new ones. Basically you are able to manipulate light through touching surfaces in different ways. Honestly i have no idea why it would ever be useful in society, but i just thought it was an awesome design and idea. Being able to control and minipulate light just sounds really awesome.

mayfield,s-1 said...

I like the playstation 4, it looks so futuristic and space looking. The foot print things is kind of cool, that would be something for a haunted house or for some kind of fun mystery game for kids/teens that are interested in that kind of stuff. But I like the playstation 4 the most.

Brookshire, B-1 said...

One of my favorite yankodesigns was the Domestic Can Crusher. I personally save crushed cans to take to the junk yard for extra cash. I think this device would be handy to just sit back and watch can after can get crushed.

villanueva, manuel, N. 1 said...

I think the technology is going to be great for our sociey because it would make it more successful but the PS4 is tooooooo high...its just not worth it

Nealy,J/1 said...

I like the S.V.L.T (SIGN VOICE LANGUAGE TRANSLATOR) because it helps the visually impaired and the hearing impaired communicate. The visaual impaired speaks to the hearing impaired it converts the voice into text. The only problem i can think of with this wonderful invention is there are diffrent types of sign language also i learn last night that most of the gestures in sign language happens on your face. But i think its a wonderful invention and they should move forwarded with it.

The Marino 52 Luxury At High Seas Yacht is my favorite!!! can't wait till ride on one of these or own one of these. It will be nice to cruise the yacht at the Carribeans or coral sea Australia/New Zealand. BTW the yacht's gotta be safe because I bet it can outrun a pirate ship.

jeffress,r-1 said...

I think these new technological items will greatly inhance life especially the Jbuds ear pieces. They will keep many people from losing hearing abilities in their future and stop disturbances in neighborhoods such as loud music and jets. The loudest alarm clock will help people get to work on time so they won't be fired. Also crank up batteries will allow us to save money. Finally glowing footprint boots will help firefighters keep up with their team and rescue them.

Hernandez, J - 2 said...

Its so amazing how we are developing more and more ideas that are pushing us to the future. i really liked the yaucht and all these new little gadgets. i want one waaahhhh!!!!! :( Mrs. L you should totally get me something like that. LOL.... :)

Goff,R-2 said...

When looking at the Yanko wesite, my eye was caught by the "Goodness Of Laser Lights On A Watch". i think that it is a nifty invention....and i think that it would come in handy when your in the movies or laying in bed. although it probably isn't a threat, i would be kind of worried about whether the laser would have certain side effects when projected on your skin all day. but then again im sure that the scientists have run plenty of tests on ANIMALS....so im sure its safe for us.

Gonzalez, E - 2 said...

i like the ideas they had.......... i really like the playstation 4 its cool.......
but yeah it would be real nice to have things like that.

villanueva,f-2 said...

i loved all the cool new inventions that i saw at the website. I like the idea of the solar panels on the tops of skyscrapers, it would help lower the pollution in big cities, the Power Rake would be huge help in the fall when we have to rake up the leaves, The KQC Turbo Generation straightner is my favorite thing fromt he website!!!!! i would so totally buy it!!!!!!

Abernathy, J-2 said...

All of the new technology looks pretty cool but i also think some of it is just unnecessary--people who designed it must have been pretty bored, like the foodle(i belive thats what it's called). Who needs to hook up a pencil to the end of your fork?!But the Curvy Bike looks interesting. The fact that it enhances speed and resistance as well as being more comfortable are all good additions to the bike.

Parkhurst, M-2 said...

While browsing these magnificent inventions, the some shine solar energy storage system really stuck out to me. Its a great way to conserve energy but its easy at the same time. The gadget can keep your room cool, as it is a curtain, but at the same time it absorbs all the solar energy so that later when needed the user may charge their electronics without overusing the energy in their home. Overall Yanko has some awesome ideas that may very well be reality soon enough.

Liles, T-1 said...

With all these ideas and possibilities for new technology out there, its difficult to talk about just one. I really like looking at concept designs and i hate it at the same time. Some of this tech is beyond amazing and looks really sleek and shiny, but a lot of it is unfortunantly just not practical. It does get me thinking though about what the future of technology will look like, will we have devices that look and feel just like the ones featured on Yanko or will history repeat its self and the future be completely different than we expected.

anderson a-2 said...

i took a look at the ps4 and the xbox 720 and i got one work FRIGGIN' awsome....although my insides are burning up with questions i can't help but to think where all this technology will take us in the near future.
and just to let you see for your self check out the Aqua Liquid Fuel Eco Friendly Cell Phone BY: Sean Park its is the untimate touch screen color phone lol just the fact that some can design a cell phone that is clear, changes color with E-Ink technology (no idea what that is) and is felixable on top of it all is amazing but is only a concept not the real thing.

Anonymous said...

All of this technology is very beautiful. Functionality is extremely important and the basis of all inventions, but now that we know how to create them, we should make them look cool and futuristic! Technology is constantly advancing forward, so naturally, we'll finally look like everyone thinks - futuristic. Sadly, I do like the old, homey look of things, but then again, you just can't deny the absolute coolness of the sleek, futuristic design.

I liked the solar grass ontop of skyscrapers, but what particularly caught my eye was the watch with music attached. At first, I was like..."that's kind of stupid," but then I thought about how annoying it is when I'm riding my bike and I have to hold my ipod (most of the shorts I own don't have pockets) and then I question "what time is it?" Well, dang. This watch fixes my problem. I think it's rather convienent and would love to get my own. :D

Cortines,m-2 said...

All of this stuff is amazing. It really looks like it came right off the Enterprise. But some of it seems kinda superfluous.I especially like the personal xray machine, however. Why go to a hospital to have an xray when you can diagnose yourself at home? Then you just go to the doctor and tell him that your arm is broken. haha save a lot of money. Additionally, I love the little convenient futuristic tea set. I would totally invite Captain Picard over for tea if I had that.

Williams, T-3 said...

My favorite thing on Yanko is the Nissan conecpt car. Its built like a tree house kind of and has flowers everywhere on it. I like it because its a lot like the smart car, which i love, but is also girly. I would totally drive it!!

Sampietro, M-3 said...

Some of this technology just seems riduculous to me and I certainly don't view it as real technology, such as the gentleman's lamp. That's just decoration, not technology. But I especially like the paper helmet for people who talk too loudly. So, what I gather is you're a freak if you talk too loudly and you're a freak if you wear that paper helmet. There's just no option for me I guess!!! :D

Hawkins, M - 3 said...

Some of those creations seem to be very convient, but some of them looks useless but you never know what will come in handy these days...lolz

Deckard, D-3 said...

I am fascinated with the new develpements in technology. the playstation 3 looks amazing. the whole set up of in is spectacular. And the new shhower design to where you can contorl it with a remote control is fanatical. I'll finally be able to start the water while in my living room or going homework, and by the time I get to the bathroom the water will already be hot. I am also love to get my hands on that tray that can charge electronic without them having to be plugged up. it will save me a tun of plug space and i won't have to fumble around with all those cords anymore.

Asquith,C-3 said...

My favorite product was the elevated plate. I HATE sitting between two tables when i'm eating! I also liked the idea for the personal X-ray machine. Why spend time and money to go get an x-ray from the doctor, when you can diagnose yourself right at home?

reichert, s-3 said...

all of this new technology...i have no idea what to write about! It all seems so interesting, everything from the PS4 to the ultra hair straightener...yes i read about that...im really excited to see this all come out in (hopefully) the near future, especially the PS4 and the CLIPit phone...i've had my phone for 4 years now and its just now starting to act weird so the CLIPit better come out soon! Its really interesting to see what all people have come up with...i love this web site

Harper, T - 3 said...

I think that the new things that these ppl are coming up with is crazy but kool at the same time. like the ps4 everybody is going to be trying to get it and i know its going to cost a arm n a leg. i kinda think that all this new technology is taking over our brains cuz i dont know any of my numbers by heart n my phone cuz i just look them up n my phone and thats so bad.

payton, j - 3 said...

The future looks very bright lol... bt forreal all this stuff is great i just wonder how much more advanced can we get after the watch,yact,ps4,nd phone and all though its not really benifiting people its seems like its gona b fun 2 hve.

Padilla, J - 3 said...

I think all of the new things on Yanko Design are pretty cool, but there are some things that make you think "is it really necessary?" An example would be like plate dedicated for people who sit between two tables. Do we really need a plate like that? Can't we just move the plate to either side of the table? There are a few inventions that would definitely benefit people such as the Stresswatch. With this watch, we could monitor our body and make sure that we are ok.

perez, j - 3 said...

Isn't this site awsome or what..I enjoyed watching all the new things their coming up with, that could be the future of tomorow..I thought the single pen dispenser was pretty intresting...cause dosent it always happen just when your finishing up something very important it your ink tuns out...so i believe this is a very handy pen that dispenses multiple pens all in one

zavala,P -3 said...

the single pen that dispenses all the colors captured my attention the most. it would be so usefull to have one of those pens with me, because then i wouldn't have to worry about having all of my pens with me. i would only have to carry one. so handy!!! love yankodesings.

Wiley, C - 3 said...

I think the new ps4 is really bananas!! its so technical it looks like you can just break it,but i dont think i could cough up $700 for it....

Flynn,R-3 said...

One of the things that I really enjoy about technology is that the progression never really stops. The inventor always developes a new product to make the consumer's needs easier, and even previous products are constantly being inproved. Aside from that,the Marino 52 Luxury would be a pretty awesome boat(submarine) to own. Enough said...

cortes, j - 3 said...

The design for the football(soccer) stadium in china is really cool and I would definitly buy the PS4 too.

Tiffany Wyrick said...

I love the play station 4 idea it looks very futuristic! I think alot of new techo would be great for the would today and it can help us reach top notch levels an standards that we never thought would be meet. Basically it would help make alot more people successful!!!!

Howard, Z - 4 said...

Spruiell, S - 4 said...

A lot of this new technology seems like it would be really useful, although some of it just seems silly; the design that I found particularly interesting was the "Single Hand Cook." It's basically a cutting board that makes life easier for people with the use of only one hand. The board is equipped with "one- handed food cutting equipment, one- handed different diameter tubes opener, one- handed fruits and vegetables cutting and peeling equipment, one - hand changeable graters, food box, equipment for peeling eggshells, elements for stabilizing foods like bread (while buttering etc.). For anyone who has a disability that allows them to use only one hand, this would make cooking preparations much more efficient and much less difficult.

Pina, R-2 said...

I think some of these designs are great, but some are just plain lazy, whats the point of the plate for people who sit between two tables, your plate is still crooked!! How hard is it to just scoot over a little so your plate is on one side of the table or the other, c'mon use your brains and stop being lazy people!!...... NHS football rules!!!!

Howard, Z - 4 said...

The crank up batteries would be pretty useful, cause i waste so much money on batteries. Although batteries seem to be dying out now cause everything comes with chargers. Oh and the PS4 looks sick, even though sony sucks :P

Cole, S - 4 said...

One of my favorite things is the plate where you can sit in the middle of two tables.I actually think its a super duper idea because anytime i happen to have to sit in the middle of two tables they are never the same height.So i would love to have one of these...but then what...would you just keep one in your purse 24/7???

Also i think the crucify my love Tool Rings were cool.I like how they were each like a little tool and how they each stood for something that would help in your relationship!I think they are ment to be guy rings but i would totally wear them if i got some!!!!

Guerra, A - 4 said...

I think that technonoly is giving us a chance to improve. It would also make our lives more easier AND keep this world green.

alvarado, m-4 said...

i thing the emotional phone would be cool. beacuse the phone will be like another one of you, and i just think its cool to see if your lover will call soon or maybe later.

Price, T - 4 said...

The New Stuff Thats Coming Out Is Good and all and some could benfit use but its looks like its going be very hard to use, but i like the football stadiums and the new boat that i would like to have and the playstation 4 its clean because its clear!!

Willis, A - 4 said...

*The Wearable Mobile Device for enhanced chatting is really cool. You don't even need a cell phone anymore. All you have to do is put it on your thumb or on your wrist and all the stuff will pop up on your hand and you can communicate with anybody you want. That is really cool.*

Pixley, J-4 said...

The technology advances are absolutly mind blowing. So many things have happened in these last few years, is outstanding, simply that. Kinda scared to see what they will come out with next lol

Morones, C - 4 said...

this site is a great one. i enjoyed viewing the wacky contraptions and do-hickys. i can so relate to most of these designs, but a plate for the space between tables, really!?! anyhow......i was greatly amused by the "curiousity thing" that they plan to place in front of stores and whatnot. i would insanely attracted by them and gaze upon them for long while thinking if i should go on over and just touch or run my fingers thru them. (KATY MORRISON,KATIE SMALL,and MONIKA BAKER! NOT A WORD FROM YOU GUYS!)

Mrs. L said...

D!!!!!!! How ya doing?!? I miss you! Thanks for stopping by!

Monika, my answer would be YES!

Daniel . . . do I see a "Playstation" vs. "XBox" conversation coming in first period?

Maggaly, whose name I can STILL not spell right even after two solid years . . . I would so have a personal xray machine in my house to x-ray my foot with.

Szu-Yung I'm so gonna cruise in the Carribean with ya if you buy one of those!

Ohhhhh Morgan . . . superflous. That's a Dillards word. LOL

Mia . . . welcome to my freaky world.

Johanna . . . yes we can just move the plate to the side, but then we don't get to invent a sparkly new plate. LOL

Wilson, J - 6 said...

I thought that the leaf thing was pretty cool. it was like a lawnmower but it sucked up leaves. I also thought that the foldable bike was cool. you could be ridinng it and then deside you were tired, but instead of pushing it you could fold it.

Unger, B - 6 said...

Okay lets set the scene: Your at a party for your friends birthday at a popular restaurant downtown. Then OH NO!! you have the spot where two tables a part together. There is no need to worry: The restaurant has a specially designed plate that fits the spot on the table where the two individual tables meet.

Okay, The whole plate for the one spot on the table seems really unnecessary to me. The one idea that i really thought should be marketed [especially in larger cities: larger the Nac :)] is the vertical bike parking. It could really clear up the sidewalks of busy towns/streets. There is an amazing amount of new cars. If they could make a solar powered car, I would definitly by one. Think about all the resources you will be saving!

Okay, I have one more issue: the watch sized ipod. I would forget where i put it and it would be lost forever. It's too small!

Russaw, N - 6 said...

i think that the crnkin batteries is cool cuz you can save lost of money cuz u wont have 2 buy more batteries

Miller, R - 6 said...

i believe what they done with the technology is great. you can learn from it and be creative with it to. i love the playstaion 4 ima have to get me one when it comes out... but these things can make oure life better and keep us out of trouble at the same time

liber,k-6 said...

I think that the emotional phone & the killer engagement ring is cool. The emotional phone so when i feel like talking to my boyfriend or my best friend it will know. Or seeing there pictures. && the Killer engagement ring so it can protect you and still look pretty & sparkly so like when you punch someone it hurts them and still doesnt fall off.

chitopina-2 said...

Oh man!! So much new technology its just crazy! However I'm not diggin that little middle seat plate.Its an okay idea and i dont meant to hate, but you dont have to set directly in the middle in the first place you can move over a little. But the major flaw i saw was that what if your eating some kind of meat and then you have some soup or some other kind of food with juice on the top part, then it gets on your meat and ruins the flavor....wouldnt be too happy if that happened!

Rodriguez,A-2 said...

i think most of these ideas were pretty kool i like the playstation 4 and the rake thing...but the one i like the most was the soccer stadiium. not just beacause i love soccer,but because that stadium is probably gonna be one of the best in the world..its probably going to take alot of time and money to build it, but after it is built china should definitely host the world cup again.

Morrison,K-1 said...

I like alot of the inventions. Some Shine Solar Energy Storage System is kinda neat pull your shade down plug in your electronic junk and then get it in a bit. Although the Peugeot Globule is a bit vexing, how exactly do you drive it? and what happens if you have a crash? AFGT will be what most the game freaks want, but that is really cool, feeling through the game and such. The AIDS ring looks kinda pretty, it's just fashion, nothing techonological I believe. The huge Tricylce looks really cool, I'd defiently ride that! But yeah, I like the way minds are thinking of these really neat objects!

Small,K-6 said...

Cris-bon: Not saying anything =X ...XDDD

It's kind of a bummer that TechEBlog isn't really showing the images. Ah well, I frolicked amongst the (first few) pages of Yanko and came across the nifty idea of Foodle. Only my besties (Shout out to Cris, Katy, etc.) would understand how insanely awesome a fork/knife/spoon set that goes over colored pencils would seem to me. I love coloring, and often ask for the kids menu or a blank piece of paper and a set of crayons when I go to restaurants, no matter how many strange looks I know I'll get.

I can't believe that I never thought of that myself. It would probably decrease the number of crayons restaurant employees would have to pick up at the end of the day, too...

I have no comment on the PS4/XBox thing. I luff my PS2 and Gameboy Advance, thank you very much. It's all I need to get by as far as video games go.

Taylor, T - 6 said...

I am waiting for those Eco-Woof speakers to hit the market cuz im a big fan of music and speaker systems i cant wait to get them and put them in my trunk so i can go beat down da block

lyles,m-6 said...

i really think the new technology that they are coming out with is amazing.it would make our lives much more easier,and enjoyable.(:

Gonzalez, M - 6 said...

The inventions on the website are super duper cool hahaha. Though some of those inventions are pointless.The middle seat dish... no comment. The PS4 cuaght my eyes, i personally wouldnt buy it but i know some people that will so i would just go to them when i want to play on it lol.

Morrison,K-1 said...

Btw, Hi Cris! And I agree I'd touch em too, just to do it! xD I said a word about it! >w< and the plate is a new made thing but most of that problem has been solved... THE GAME (you lost it) um...I don't think I'd buy the PS4 or the XBOX720 or watever it's called, I'll stick w/ the PS2 DSi and Wii... bye!

Morrison,K-1 said...

Kati S. - You did say a word ^w^
I understand you on the resturant thing Kati!
Maptor I would probally need that, I often get confuzed with my directions >_>

bushiey, k - 4 said...

I like the grass clock, because some people just always forget their time schedule, but if it was me i would look foward to looking at the "hand" cut the grass...I dont think that i would ever be late again.

johansson,shelbie/7 said...

Roasting Marshmallows In The Vulcan
Citing space-crunch as a major issue with matchbox homes, the Vulcan Stove Fireplace adapts itself to this reason, but that alone should not be the criteria for liking it. A warm fireplace but totally utilitarian, it hosts numerous shelves for your things and has the potential to be the focal point of your living space. In practical times as these, where electric heaters and radiators vie for equal attention; a warm, cozy, functional fireplace as this makes me all mushy and crave winter.

shelbie: i think this is a great idea in combines a fire place with shelving helps keep your home compact and neat.

Hughes, T - 7 said...

I think that the in between tables plate is a really stupid idea. why would sombody carry a plate with different levels around, on the off chance that they might wind up between tables. Dumbest invention ever.

Esparza,J-7 said...

The Playstation 4 looks amazing!!!! I would love the idea of having a see through screen that you can play on that is on your PS4 that way you don't have to connect it to a tv and also i didn't see a powerchord. Completely wireless perhaps??? And rechargeable battery with a backup battery to change when one is dying as well as a smaller internal battery to change mid game???

Jim Taylor said...

that clipit phone has a lot of possiblities. you can use it as a phone or computer and just fold it up to fit in your pocket without worrying about breaking an expensive screen. i'm very excited to see this phone.

Goad, G - 7 said...

My brain cant comprehend how some these crazy things work, but i can already tell that life will become more and more easy as time and technology increase. oh, and the ps4 is stupid, just thought i would add that.

Tutt, S - 7 said...

I've got to say I love this design for the PS4 is so AWESOME!!! and the so called X Box 720 is stupid. I would spend alot of money on technology like this its so cool. I'm a computer geek so I enjoy this very much!

Szu-yung said...

Alfra Vico Luxury Motor Yacht Marino 52 is so awesome!!! I would want to buy one of these luxury yacht and take it to the Carribeans, but the bad thing about the yacht is the price.

Fedun, M-7 said...

I really want some of these amazing new things. The laser watch wrist band things. you could have an awesome wristband that doesnt even look like a watch. The wind up batteries would be very useful for trips so that you never run out of power. yea!!!

Cole, V - 7 said...

I was smart I skipped to like the 267th page, and I found something interesting. A rubik's cube for the blind!!! I can solve a normal rubik's cube, but imagine solving a rubik's cube with your eyes closed, just by touching it and feeling the different textures. Doesn't that make you want to do flips? The cube has 6 different feels and you have to know how to solve it and you got to match all the feels of the different sides! I want one. I'm sure Mrs. L will get me one. =D

@ Arthur
"i want that super crazy awesome yacht!!! it is so pointlessly extravagent..."

Its extravagant.

Crenshaw, K - 7 said...

i love the idea of the ps4 playing without a screen(well tv) i think that is great i want one some of the things i think were ridiculous llike the ABSOLUTELY BASIC CHAIR why would anyone sit in that it looks so uncomfortable. Whats up with the new XBOX it looks so ridiculous and i would hate to play it it looks so difficult i hope that isnt the design.

Chalco, N - 7 said...

i think the play station 4 is nice the way how they designed it.It would be nice to have one, but i dont think i would buy it because its so expensive.

Anonymous said...

@ vincent
deal with it!!!!!

Sydney Purser said...

Oh my. Oh my. Mrs.L, you really shouldn't show me these things, I am a tech geek. My parents heard endlessly about one after another of these *Shiiiiiiiiiiiny* new toys. :D

Anyways, here are my thoughts on a couple of the more unforgettable bits:

CLIPit: This was amazing. I couldn't believe the number of possibilities this one opened up. Caprica definately came to mind when I saw the potential of it being an unfoldable computer. (Haha) This seems like science fiction, but then again our technology is moving so fast that it very well may be a reality in the near future. I just hope the price isn't outragous.

Braun Markerfool Marker Pen: Okay, so maybe this isn't the most practical invention on the website, but I can't deny that the idea of it made me smile. I mean, really, mixing your own colors with such a large number of reachable colors? This was almost irresistable. Yes, I fully realize that having one would not be practical for things you had to hurry up and complete, but it would be awesome to tinker with.

Other ones I found interesting were the Tip-less Glasses (I'm a Klutz) and the Random Orbit lamp (Oooo, pretty ^-^ )

The curvy bike seems like an interesting   design to me, I wonder how functional it is.

The tent thing seems like it would be useful, and it looks pretty cool.

This phone has an interesting concept. It would be cool to see a working prototype.

All this stuff that they're making is pretty cool. Except I don't really understand the whole mushroom looking thing? It was just to see how many people like to touch random things? Pretty wierd. But I do like the drink mixer. It's pretty cool and would really come in handy for... koolaid. =D

The playstation 4 is what caught my attention. I am not a person that lives for video games at all, much less I don't even remember the last time I played a video game. But the way it is designed, almost transparent, reveals how high tech it is. And being worth almost $800, it better be high tech. But seeing how people these days are inventing new gadgets that will, or might not come out yet is still astonishing. If technology has advance so far in 20 years, where will we be 10 years from now? Only time can tell.
**oh and thanks for letting me make this up Ms. L :) <3
