Hola peeps! Thanks for logging in.
Next week is CES in Las Vegas. It's also midterms so we won't blog about it until the week after, but in the meantime I want you to google CES (Consumer Electronics Show) and see what comes up.
And THEN I want to look at the Best of 2011 on Yanko. Here's the link.
http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/12/23/best-of-yanko-design-2011/
Pick one of the BEST OF products and talk about it.
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 . . .

The illuminated fire hose (p 400) is a really great idea. If firefighters are able to see better when they're putting out fires, there wouldn't be as much damage or loss of life. The LED's being powered by a turbine is much better than trying to drag an extension cord through a burning building. Since the lights are integrated with the hose, firefighters don't have to hold two things.

Okay Mrs.L I landed on page 433 amd I really like this "Fesh by A Blue Light" item, because we all like to eat fruit everyonce in a great while, but sometimes we just dont finish the fruit in time before it spoils. Well this item has a small half-moon bowl in the middle of it and a blue light on the top of the bowl going all the way around the top. There is something about this blue light that keeps the fruit fresh just a bit longer than usual. I would really like to have this someday, because I eat fruit everyday.

The Roomba Watch Out seems really cool because it's a vacuum, and you can do it manually, or it can vacuum by itself. That would be really handy if you had something else to do nd didn't have time to vacuum yourself.

its basiclly another Ipad, but this one come with a keyboard that when flipped around turn into a cell phone. You could carry them seperatly without the hassle of carrying all at once.

The Xscape car,an idea for a type of car for the year 2030, is very interesting because of its numerous amount of functions, such as extending horizontally and being flexible enough to fit into condensed space....this feature alone would be an improvement to cars, especially for larger trucks and SUVs. It's also very safe, which means hopefully less trouble while on the road and going on trips.

I liked the eat better drink better bowls for my dogs because they do eat really fast. So the bowls are suppose to make them eat slower and drink slower. The bowls for eating has bumps in them and the drinking one allows a small amount of water to come out. I want to get these for my dogs because when I get home then I get a mess. All you dog owners should check this out!!

THis Spin (headphones) is pretty awsome. wish i could have them! i love how in one side you can keep hearing music and the other side you can scrool around to variety of songs. XD

The technology that i found most interesting and useful was on page 401, they are "Semi Circle" Headphones, which are designed not to block out all noise. Although that would be a particularly negative trait for regular headphones, these are designed for athletes that need to hear the background noise and occurences around them. These "Semi-Circle" Headphones are designed to increase safety during productivity, and i would say that that makes the design worth-while...

http://www.yankodesign.com/2009/02/10/the-mother-of-all-water-filters/. I like this idea that they have came up with, because it comes with its own two eco-friendly water bottles with built in powerless thermometers. Well it would help some people stop their habit of disposing plastic water bottles and incourage them to use the filtered tap water from this fun filter.TUTT-1ST
Page 361/Decoding the Cries of a Baby: I like the using of the bracelets, because a mother with a new born baby may not exactly know what her baby wants or needs whenever he/she is crying. It is so cool how the pillow that the baby is laying on can send a signal to the mother’s bracelet telling her what is wrong with her child. It will save a lot of crying on both sides…

My favorite of the Best of Yanko 2011 was number 39, the Ferrari Millenio. I like its basic design as well as the "hard as steel" exterior and the dual eletric engines that run on solar power.

The USB watch is a great idea being that some one like me lose things and to have the USB on my wrist makes it hard to lose. I just want to say that a Bottle cap sharpner is the dumbest idea to come up with. The idea of getting shavings in my drink is dumb. The ferrari Millenio looks like the batmoble and awesome the way it looks.

I think every car available shown on those examples were very cool, along with the lambo boat. The designs were very strange yet futuristic like which I like. Those designs need to come out soon for us to drive. I also like the wooden keyboard, cause the texture would be comfortable to type on.

I like the Finder because I loose things all the time and I wish that I could call the things I lost like my phone. This would be super helpful!
Rhiannon- 5th
http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/11/03/key-control/
The key finder is a great idea because it would be very helpful if you ever lost your keys, phone, etc. The fact that it comes with stickers to place on your objects is very convenient because you can easily keep track of the things you frequently lose. I'd buy it.

The fone charger that looks like a ball of yarn caught my attention. It would really come in handy for people like me. I would deff buy this product. It could be as long or as short as you need it to be. It gives you the ability to be able to move around while your charging your fone instead of being glued by the plug or computer waiting on your fone to charge. I think its very useful.

I lose my keys and my cell phone all the time. And usually it's always right before I have to go somewhere. But what is the farthest distance for these? I think it would also work as something you could stick to your wandering children when you go on a trip out.

The electric ferrari concept is really cool. I like how it can be run by solar panels that can be used and stored. Even the actual mechanical concept looks amazing.
As for the guitar, I actually drew one of these in a little invention book I had when I was a kid. Actually, I think I still have it. The touchscreen feature was the reason why I thought of it. Why develop calouses and not play just because of that very reason? Why not instead build a touchscreen that can preserve your fingers from being damaged and still play for hours. I believe this will be able to be used in the future very soon. To think that I can see my own invention come to life. ^_^

I really like the cradle. It looks like the most comfortable chair bed thing ever! It's really simple and uncomplicated, yet a great product.

I think the number 47, Magic Spoon is pretty awesome! All the times I've stirred my sweet tea and I have to worry about the spoon falling out or getting sticky because of the sugar. Now there's a spoon that slips onto your drink for your convience!

placido 8th
http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/11/03/key-control/
The "Best Of" product I picked is a small cell-phone shaped device that you can use to locate objects by putting small stickers on them that can be picked up by the device. This would be so awesome because how many times have you lost a remote or keys that took weeks to find? This would allow people to find any small objects quickly If someone had many drawers full of junk all they have to do is type in the name of the object and they know exactly where to look for it.
Trenton Birdwell - 8th
The Repunzel escape route thing is what i would want(reasonably that is, I would love one of those cars or yahts but..) Instead of saftey though, I would use it for recreational purposes of course. My only problem with it though is that i would need to know how much slack it has, how much weight it can hold, if it retracts, and if I can alter something to make it shoot out like a grappling hook.

i think this will really change the way people do things if everyone had a robot it would be easier to do things and get things done when time has run out i think its so cool that he created to give them pills at a certain time that would really help doctors out especially if they dont remember to take them.
~Miara 1st
The Keycontrol, the latest tracking technology for our personal items that we loose often!! I found it in the Best of Yanko 2011's page. This could change the world and and every persons life, especialy mine. We all loose things, wouldent it be great to stop loosing your phone, car/house keys, or your wallet!!!! It would be able to prevent more stress than we already have during or busy day. Plus when we're in a hurry you can just click and find the things you need that you could of forgot if you didnt have this new litte finder. I wonder if you could stick a sticker that it uses on people to track them? Haha my stalking equipment.

everything that is on here should be sold or be able to sell. the two things that really caught my eyes were the hug chair. the hug chair i like a lot because i can cuddle with my girl. lol it makes it easier. and all the yachts on here. they are all really nice. perfect for parties. lol

The Engrain Tactile Keyboard is awesome. It is a simple, yet very unique idea to add to the pleasures of a computer. For once I would want to type more and with all of that practice it could help me out later in life.

http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/03/31/the-power-play-continues/
The Power Play Continues seems like a good idea to me. Not everything runs through a USB port, but a lot of it does. Being able to recharge these batteries makes buying new ones a waste of money. You can plug in a USB capable device into it if you need charging, and you can play the battery into a device that actually requires that type of bettery. It can be used many ways and is comfortable.

Okay well I think the smile alarm clock is pretty nice and cool.It will still be going on if you don't give it a smile and that would make you get up in the morning because you can't be giving it a fake smile it has to be a real one. It would be nice just to wake up smiling (:

This is a great idea. I always have to look and try it both ways whenever I use a usb, which is fairly often. There's never one way to do it, because computers don't always have the ports in the same orientation. With this, you don't have to mess with it. Plug and done!

A car that you really dont see in every day life if so its once in a life time unless its right beside your house all the time. Its a lot of things that you wouldnt think the car could do like the way the doors open upward in the front and back. Looks like a regular car but with body armour around it(transformer). and i doubt that this would be sold all around the world because will be very high

I think the floor plan light switch is pretty cool. Sometimes you leave lights on and forget to turn them off, but with the floor plan light switch you can see what lights in the house are on. Also if there isn't a light on and you want it to be on before you go into the room you can just touch the room on the switch and it will turn on for you. This is really useful and I would buy it.

I love the Continuance concept. I don't know how many times I've been stuck with my phone barely hanging on with no charging source in sight. This would change that. Carry a few of them and you're golden. Even if it doesn't give a heck of a lot of juice per battery, I would bet it would be enough to help out in an emergency. Plus, this is a lot more convenient than carrying around a laptop or some other usb-enabled device for people who have to work outdoors or in other areas where a computer is not readily availible to plug up.
http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/11/03/key-control/
I LOVE THISSSS! I mean, I love how the phone is clear and totally great. But the finding stuff thing is even better! I lose just about everything and have the hardest time finding the things I lose, so this is a big thumbs up from me. I like how it tells you almost exactly where it is, and how it can find several different things with only the little sticker things. But it would really be bad if you lost the phone... Maybe if it had something to find the phone too :)

Im digging this Hyper Touch Guitar....It has no strings and has an effects board built into it. So it doesnt matter what kind of music you play, it has customizations for everything!

Although it probably isn't the safest thing ever, the Rapunzel safety descending device is a pretty nifty invention. Used to safely escape a hazardous multi story building, this thing could save lives. I am pretty dissapointed however, that this thing can oly go down. I can't wait till they upgrade it enough to where it goes up, down, and can be shot. Thats some Batman/Spiderman stuff there.

http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/06/20/safer-plugs-come-with-a-switch/
I think that the swtich plugs that can be easily turn or & off are very smart. For one reason people always leave switch plugs connected to the walls which just conserved up energy. By being able to them off you can save energy and the time needed to put them up. I personally, its a great idea.

I chose the Collector USB flash drive. I am the type of guy who puts everything on his flash drive, I have everything from games to classified files on my current flashdrive. If I where to ever loss my flash drive I would be in a heap of trouble. The Collector flash drive would make my life SOOOOOOOO much easier. It would make organizing and backing up data much simpler, and since the data is stored on physicaly separate SD cards I could just swap them out if I ever needed to. This idea also makes it possible to have so much more memory space than on a regular USB flash drive. Three 32GB SD cards equals 96 GB of memory in your pocket!! With all the advances in technology eventually you could end up carying around the same amount of memory space on your flash drive as you have on a desktop computer, that would be awesome.
With the hyper touch guitar, all kinds of new options open up. You dont have to press down on strings to make a nice sound. The soft ware triggers a particular sound which transferrs to the amp. For I guitar love, this is an amazing breakthrough.http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/03/25/no-strings-attached/

I like the flexbook laptop alot it's really cool, it can become foldable and can look like a book or just have the screen. The laptop would be good for people who are always traveling like business employees or college students. It wouuld make room for folders and important documents in their travel bags. It could also be good for authors that like to write while they're doing everything so they could make it smaller for things like being at a cafe table and plates are taking up too much space. Or good for critics to write a review while eating.

i really like the headphones or speakers. they're really stylish and its a really great idea. you can listen to music comfortablely without having ear buds in your ear 24/7 and also its a great idea for parties. we all listen to music and some get tired of puttin buds in so this is the perfect way to listen to yo music
I really like the magic spoon. I think it is a great idea.There's alot of times when your spoon slides in your glass and the magic spoon keeps it in one place.

The Biz Cafe is one of the most amazing concepts I've ever seen! The sleek, minimalist design makes the space feel very open, leaving plenty of room for socialization and cafe atmosphere among the technology. The compact work stations are impressive, especially the vertical printers. I'm also impressed with the eco-friendly touches, such as the ink eraser and the device that uses old cups to power the humidifier. The cell phone charging tables are so smart, since this is one of the main needs of the modern businessperson. I just... wow. It's so smart, and I expect to see cafes like these popping up in major cities soon, probably reaching smaller towns within a decade or so. I'd love to visit a place like this :)
