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* new technology. I have a favorite site for this:
http://www.yankodesign.com/
Yanko is about the DESIGN of technology. Please feel free to blog on Tuesday and to participate more than once.
Follow these instructions:
1. Go to Yanko.
2. Go to the bottom of the page and click on the link after the page numbers that says "Inspire Me." Ask your neighbor to help you find it if you can't.
3. Tell me which page you landed on. You may not use the first five pages.
4. Pick a product and tell me WHY you like it or how you think it could change our lives.
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!
P.S. You will occasionally find something that is adult-oriented / not particularly school appropriate. Pick another page and keep moving.
Talk to me . . .

http://www.yankodesign.com/2010/11/25/print-that-screen-literally/ This thing is cool it will help decrease cluter and save desk space you can just print directly from your desktop without a printer you can also use it as a fax machine i think its cool and if it could become practicle for a laptop it could be like a completle moble office space -emily 4th

-I think this "veicle" is awesome, i like how is only 2 seats and all transparent... to be honest i dont think this "veicle" can change our life style.

This little robot or one like it could be seen in the near future and would be a great help for people doing dangerous jobs. It is designed to continue functioning even if one of it's limbs or head is destroyed. The limb can then later be replaced. This gives the robot some durability.

This lamp looks like dew on tiny blades of grass. As the description brings out, it really looks like a macro photograph come to life (and enlarged x500). As a fan of macro photography, I am willing to overlook its weirdness and put about 20 of them in my house so I can pretend I am a tiny tiny creature adventuring in a metal grass forest!
... or, you know, not. Still cool though.

i like these headphones because it lets you share your music. The headphones not only let you listen but lets you use the headphones as speakers. They are even portable wich is useful to me because i like to listen to music when i travel. http://www.yankodesign.com/2010/12/23/come-share-my-music/
Bonifilio Soto 4th
The future iPhone on http://www.yankodesign.com/2010/10/07/talking-with-a-palm/ i think its pretty cool because instead of worrying about your phone might brake in your pocket its secure on your wrist and you can take everywhere because its kinda like a watch and easy to hide.

Time Your Power
Its a power outlet that shuts off after the amount you set it to. So you cant over charge something and blow the battery. I dont really think it can change our lives, but for the people who like to be in control of everything this would be a great thing for them to invest in.

http://www.yankodesign.com/2009/02/26/houseboat-colony-for-oslo/
this is boat houses, literlly houses that are meant for people who live on the water. These houses are two stories high and float around on the water. I think it would be so cool to go live in a boat house for the summer or something. Ples there is like boat house communities, where a bunch of boat houses are in the same area and kind of make up a neighborhood.
wow this kitchen is really nice...it looks like from the future... i plan on being an interior designer and it looks like in the future houses are going to start looking like this..but its very cool:)

I thought this was a pretty cool idea, cause unlike most things on yanko you can make it yourself. A lover of skateboarding would def want a design like this in their home.

i think that is a really dumb idea. if you know you arent going to want to wear heels, then simply dont wear them or bring an extra pair. i dont think very many people would buy them. i think that it would be hard and i dont know if i would trust those all day!

http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/09/20/an-easy-alarm/
The Easy Alarm is a cool idea because it's a different kind of alarm clock. The idea that you can drag the LED light to the correct time where you want to have your alarm set is cool and i think the lights on it would make you actually WANT to get up in the mornings.

http://www.yankodesign.com/2008/08/27/pour-me-a-glass-of-light/
On page 444 they talk about lightbulbs and how they can be transferrable through liquid. This would mean that instead of buying lightbulbs over and over again after they are broken, you could transfer light through a liquid instead. This would help numerous trips to Lowe's...Or help them if they sell them...
~Matthew DeWard
The Visual Assistance Card
on page 444.
the card is for the blind or leally blind and it has instructions on how to operate using the debit/credit card swiper.
it has brail numbers and instructions. i think that this invention will change the way blind people rely on others for help.

i like the corner light thing. it lets you know when you are about to bump into someone while going around a corner.it could litteraly save lives.

i wouldnt mind being blind if i didnt have to worry about people stealing my card info. the card looks simple easy to use compact and is very useful. if it became a every store thign that would be fantastic for blind people

I think being able to design your creations on your room ceilings is the most awesome thing you could find to design your room. I would love to have to design the ceiling for night lights & that sort.

The reason I like these headphones so much is that they are flexible and can provide the perfect fit for their listener. Also the sound quality is outstanding.

Pg. 561
The Xposed bag seems like a cool bag. Although it does expose your contents, it kind of makes life easier when it comes to bag checking at airports, cruise lines, train stations, etc. It doesn't even need to be used everyday. It might just be necessary on those you do travel. Just don't pack anything you wouldn't want to be seen...

Wiiiin! Even though this was created to appease the mens, I would use it for my long trips because of the storage compartments AND I could customize it! I'd be cruising through the Pride Parade in mah big rainbow van in no time.

http://www.yankodesign.com/2010/03/05/mozart-of-lights/
Man this "draw with the lights" thing is pretty cool. It seems to be a very neat way to customize a room. And it also inspires pratical uses as well; have an idea? Write it down...ON YOUR CEILING. The only issue I see here is the instalation of the LED ceiling. THat just seems kinda costly and inconvenient.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS!!!!
on page 361, you will see the two robotic twins pushya and pullya.
the are completely different and are like little mischevious children we all wish were around these days XD
i thin that this would be awesome because i used to watch Denis the menis as a kid and always wanted to see these things done in real life, but never had the guts to go through with it.

I think this livingroomtable set is cool becouse it could change the look and feel of any room.

Page 146: Giving Tree
I love this product. The sleek and modern design is so appealing. Plus, pairing technology with nature themes is very trendy right now, and I'm a big fan of this trend. I've seen the boring charge kiosks in airports and I think this would be a great change. My only concern is that there would need to be several types of chargers, and several of each: the model only has three, and they are all for iPhones. The tree would end up being pretty big. This model would work better in a home. Maybe each terminal could have several trees, each with a different type of charger? I also like the little light strip that shows the number of connections. This makes it easy to spot a full tree from far away, which would be useful in a large, crowded place like an airport terminal.

http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/02/03/look-carefully-it%e2%80%99s-a-transparent-tv/
I think the transparent TV is a pretty awesome idea. I like how it has a very modern and unique look unlike the TV's we have today.

Page 334 http://www.yankodesign.com/2009/08/25/coolest-water-fountain-ever/ I think that this is so cool because it is a public water fountain that get's is water from rain and then shoots it back up through a filter when someone wants it. This way, cheap, clean water can be made readily available to the public.
Trenton Birdwell - 8th
Well I landed on page 146 and the 1 liter limited faucet I think is pretty legit. On average we spend about 6 liters to wash hands when we really only use about 1 liter of that 6. What this faucet does only allows you to use 1 liter and then you must turn it off so it will fill back up eventually. It is made for exactly what is present, to save and conserve water and after this freakin hot summer and seeing how low the lake was, I feel like we really could had used these.

I think this is an awesome key board because its a touch surface keyboard and its also a video player.
-Andrew 8th
http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/02/04/resourceful-and-giving-tree/ is pretty cool. I think that it could be put to use in many public places because it would limit the amount of outlet space taken and provide a means for people to keep there phone charged and ready for use.

http://www.yankodesign.com/2012/02/07/direct-power I really like this idea of how you can charge your phone it will makie it much easier to charge the phone anywhere not worryng about whether your forgot your charger or not because its already on your phone. And the phone doesnt look like a bad phone either.
Nelis B 8th.. :)
that future is moto-inspired beemer and it was compeuter is digital skin for look like name zip for new computer future. Phone is connections are everything eachwhere for map that house kown where isn name connections are everything. It phone cool for text , call , map and but look like wallet is name not a pamphlet, It's a smartphone. that page 6

Pg.520 The House off switch..I like it because i just think everybody should go green. But it would be nice to just have a button that can turn off all non-essential electronics when they are not in use.

http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/01/10/the-new-flip-phone/
I think that the new flip phone is great because it opens like a book and when you are web browsing, the cover turns into a backslide.

http://www.yankodesign.com/2010/11/18/chubbify-your-iphone-4/ UM OK NOW WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT THIS? EVERYBODY LOVES HOW SLEEK THE IPHONE 4 IS BUT NOW SOMEONE HAS MADE A COVER THAT MAKES THE PHONE FAT AS EVER! IT STANDS UP ON ITS OWN. NOW CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG BUT WHO WOULD WANT TO CARRY THEIR PHONE AROUND IN THIS BIG BULKY CASING? NOT ME, I BELIEVE WHO EVER MADE THE CASE SHOULD HAVE TOOK THE TIME TO RETHINK THAT CONCEPT. TUTT-1ST
http://www.yankodesign.com/2007/06/05/oluce-switch-light-by-nendo-studio/ I really like this lamp on p. 519! It's pretty, but also having the switch on the lampshade is very convienent. If it's dark in the room, you won't have to look for the switch without being able to see, and it's easy to adjust.
-Tobin, 1st
Okay so it took me a while this time to find something, but I found something that really caught my attention: Project M on page 348. This is a small compact car, it's lightweight allows better manuverability and the exterior design seems safe enough for me. Some day in the future, I'll be buying me one of these super cool cars.
-Justin 1st
http://www.yankodesign.com/2009/06/16/mobile-script-phone-needs-no-stinkin-batteries/

Pg. 520
I like this design, because it is different from what is out now. In case of an emergency it could change its shape. It also can change its pattern..For example, it could change to a pattern of a peacock. I think if people had this car it would save a little bit of money, because if you bump into another car; your car would renew itself and you wouldn’t have to pay to get it fixed..It sort of makes me think of transformers
-Takarya Taylor 1st
The huge rolling call phase 2.0 is really kool. The design is pretty amazing, it would be more amazing if it was in front of me. ITS ALL TERRAIN, so it can goo anywhere you wanna go, well except in the OCEAN. Oh but it is kinda scary if it flips over but it will be okay im sure you will survive.

1st period HM
On pg 208 I found A "Quit the Stick" smoke alarm for cigarette smoke. To me, it would be enjoyable for someone to come to my house and get yelled at for smoking! As well as embarrassing, the alarm would effectively get the point that smoking is not allowed. Lol, i think it would put a stop to it pretty immediately.

pg 251 Pencil Printer Part Two
This is a printer, but it uses the lead from pencils to print your document. I don't think this will save tree's because you would still use the paper and pencils.
Even still this would save the hassle of replacing your printers ink catridge
1st period Michael
I landed on page 540.
I think the snowboard jacket GPS is a great idea becasue it could help people snowboarding when lost to find their way back. I'm sure this could help save many lives!

http://www.yankodesign.com/2008/02/25/soft-squeezable-huggable-phone/
On page 463, I liked the softphone, I thought the idea was really cool. I like how you can hang it, and I like how if you were to drop it, I don't think it would break that easily, plus it fits easily like in purses and pockets.
Ellen 1st
Landing on page 267 i found the most amazing lamb in the world. Well it maybe just that i really like it, but i really dont care what you think. ;)~ Its called the Dandelion Lights, its composed of a new light system which has motions sensors so when you shae it gently it turns on, and when you blow on it it turns off. You can adjust the brightness by blowing on spacific lights bulbs. Its Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plate Watches What You Eat Page 70
I think the idea that all food should be embedded with RFID scanners is excessive and stupid. There is no REAL need for a person to need a plate that designs your diet for you. JUST STOP EATING!!!

The paint palette with a modern twist, I kinda like this because you can paint and make your own creations and make all kinds of different colors but i really dont think this could really change our lives in any ways.

Flowting city off the coast of Haiti
pg 136
This is an awsome concept and something that has the potential to change the world. Unfortunatly, the fact remains that Haiti could never afford something like this and, dispite what the author of the article may want to think, Haiti does still look like a disaster zone. Sorry 'bout cha Haiti.
