I'm so digging that Samsung Youm. It has flexible plastic instead of glass so it's not breakable. Finally! A cell phone I can actually put in my pocket!

I really like NVidia's Project Shield. This device runs the Android OS and so it can access any game on the Google Play store. It can stream games from any PC equipped with Nvidia's GeForce GTX 650 or a laptop packing a GTX 660M GPU. I like this because it seems like another efficient way to play games.

I like the FitBit flex. It monitors how many steps you've taken and how much distance you've traveled, it also keeps track of how many calories you've burned. It can help you keep up with your health and stay fit.
panasonic 4k tablet has good features and bad features a good feature is that it runs faster then any windows tablet, the bad thing is that it only has a 2 hour battery life.

i really like the Qualcomm Snapdragon phone, it's really pretty and it's 4K capable Snapdragon 800 chips allows you to run all your favorite music and games and other apps faster and longer than ever before, i need this because i listen to alot of music and this would be really helpful

I like the Panasonic 56-inch 4K OLED TV. It's barely a half-inch thick and created by special 3D printing technology.

I really like the Samsung Youm. I think it's cool that it's made of plastic instead of glass so that it won't break, but I would be worried that the plastic would crack over time from being bent back and forth.
Stroup 1st
I think by far the coolest thing on the list is the Samsung Youm. Just the fact that its bendable. The phone is also made out of plastic instead of glass. They say that its almost unbreakable, which i think is pretty freaking amazing. I wouldnt be worried to drop my phone anymore this would save my life completely.
Brooke Whitaker 1st
i really think that the nvidia project shield is a very good invention, you can play anywhere you are and it also has wi-fi how cool is that. i will be on market sometime during the summer, the price hasn't been said.

I like the Oculus Rift. You can put it on your face and actually like be in the game! It has high-def 1280 x 800 pixel display! Soo that means realistic gaming whoo! SWAG!
Tyvan Tipps, 2nd Per.
I really like the Samsung Youm, beacuse you can fold it into like a roll up thing and it fits in your pocket! It can do this because it is made out of plastic which lets it be able to bend! But i dont really know if i could have that because im OCD about stuff and if it has even a little wave in it, i wont stop till its straight again.
Emily Wallace 2nd
I pick Nvidia's Project Shield. For those of us that liked the DS this will be fun, but better. This thing can access the internet and there games from google play and your x-box at home :)

Im totally obsessed with the Samsung Youm. It is a plastic phoNE AND it is pretty much unbreakable which is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. because i always drop my phone... clumsy much? Um i think so!
Hailey Woods -2
I like the Samsung Youm. I think it would be so cool to have a phone made out of flexible plastic instead of glass. Also, as much as I drop my phone, I need a phone that is unbreakable and bendable.
Nichole Marshall:) --2nd period
i really like this Samsung Youm. i think this would be the best thing out there cause its made out of plastic but i also think it would be bad cause it would be easy to catch on fire.

The Samsung Youm would be a very good phone for me because i like to play catch with my phone and if its indestructive, i can be less careful... Follow me on Twitter @ImSoWorldWide

I like the Oculus Rift, it reminds me a lot of an old virtual helmet game I had back when I was 6. It's really cool because I had a game that involved fighting, and I would actually punch, kick, and do all these other moves and they actually worked. Hopefully I can get another one like it, or like the Oculus Rift.
Eddie Ramirez - 2nd
I like the Oculus Rift because it also into the world of virtual technology. The high-def pixel display allows you to view the game as if you there and in person. I think it an awsome piece of technology that will take gameing to a whole new level.
-Mikaela Period
I think I'm going to go ahead and go with the Samsung Youm. Simply because is is made of plastic and is not very breakable. I'm always parinoid that I will damage my phone so this could be great for me. It being able to bend is unique and different. I like to be different, I don't like to have what everyone else has. :)
Raven R. Moore, 2nd
i like the Qualcomm Snapdragon phone, because it lets you everything you want in a faster speed like hearing you favorite music or downloading your favorite apps. how cool!! its 4K capable Snapdragon 800 chips. its really pretty!
-karen torres 2nd
I really like the Samsung Youm because I like how it can bend. The only problem is I would be scared it would eventually melt because it is made of plastic instead of glass.
Gabriel Garrett 2
I liked the Panasonic 4K tablet. Its big enough for me to see because i'm nearly blind and it has the new window's 8 program. Only thing is it can only go 2 hours on the battery and that's a short amount of time!

The Vaulve steam box or piston is on thing i really look forward to coming to market being able to play PC games on my TV like it where on a gaming consule is a amazing concept. I alsowould love to see further advancement with the Oculus Rift and the devlepoment of VR.
Grayson Skidmore 2nd
The Sony Xperia Z is very cool being that it is creative in its design add a great alternative to the Iphone. I love that the screen is very vivid.

i Really like the Qualacomm snapdragon phone it looks a very cool phone and it lets you run your music and apps faster and longer and thats good because i love music and i think it would be cool to have this phone.
i chose the Oculus Rift, i find this piece of technology very interesting, because i remember having something similar as a child, however it faded away due to many things it lacked. Now the device has two 640 x 800 LCDs, and together they have a nice high definition 1280 x 800 pixel display. Now just imagine the posibilities this could give us, all the great graphics and technology that games have today but literaly up in your face, i feel like we could be part of the game you could probably play laying down or take the game on the move. of course guys would find this more interesting than girls but oh well.
Sanchez-2nd
I believe that the samsung youm is a great invention that will lead to much greater inventions. the thing that makes this phone an amazing phone, is that it is flexible, and practically unbreakable. the only down side to the phone is the big attachment on the bottom. other than that i love the phone and would really like to have one but, the price they're going to put in it is probably going to be outrageous.

The piece of tech I'm really exicited about is the valve steam box.... I've been waiting for valve to come out with their first gaming console. It's supposed run a linux based system, and guess what you can play via steam. (I'm guessing only gerneral gamers know about steam.)
Fernando Rodriguez, 6th Period
I like NVidia's project Shield is because really cool and you can play pc games and download a lot of games.
ignacio sanchez

I really like the Panasonic 56-inch 4K OLED TV. It currently is the worlds largest 4K OLED TV. It has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels and is only a half inch thick.
The Project Shield sounds pretty neat. Apparently it looks like a game control and a 5 in smart phone.

i like the Nvidia's Project Shield.This device runs the Android OS and so it can access any game on the Google Play store. and it seem like a cool way to play game on the go
denerrell jones 7th
I'm loving the Oculus Rift. Instead of the object being havy and a big chunk of technology it's more like ski goggles which will fit for a better playing experience. I'ts pretty dope/swaggerific if you ask me.
Courtney - 7
I really enjoy video games. I got into PC gaming a while back, and so NVidia's Project Shield looks like something i want to get my hands on. It streams games off the Google Play store and other PC games from your PC as long as its running with NVidida's Geforce GTC 650 (hopefully mine will be compatible).
Manuel Vazquez 7th
I liked the Nvidia's Project Shield
because now i can play better hand held games on a 5 inc screen. Also it runs on Android OS and can access all games on Google Play.

I really like Nvidia's Project Shield. I've always wanted to be able to bring gaming with me wherever I go. It will also be even cooler if microsoft gets to make games for it.
Tyler Johnston, 7th

Marisol Alvarado- 7th
I really like the Sony Xperia Z because Sony has invented new technology so the phone will be drawing very little power when it's in sleep mode and it will completely disable apps from being able to communicate during this time. This would be very beneficial to me considering the fact that my phone dies before school's even over! The phone is also waterproof which would also be very helpful considering I've lost about 5 phones due...the ocean..

Blog for Thursday:
I think the Nvidia Shield is the most interesting game console that came out since the Nintendo 3Ds. It can stream any game from Google Play store through Android OS and can stream game through any PC equipped with a Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 video card. It’s “Like a gamepad glued to a tablet, but in a good way”
Valencia 8th
Whoa!!!! The Samsung Youm is totally beast simply because it's FLEXIBLE!!!! And it's virtually unbreakable. Definitely something to wait for.
Santoyo 8th :)
I think the Samsung Youm is soooo cool! It is made of plastic and glass, so it is bendable and basically un-breakable! I love my Iphone5, but that thing can be very easy to shatter, I think the Samsung Youm will be great for younger teens or people who are very clumsy! It should be out between 2014-2015 :)

I like the "Samsung Youm." It's a very unique phone, I've never seen anything like it. I could hide it very well haha. One cool thing about this phone is that its basically made out of plastic.
Noriand Marrero 8th Period
The 4K OLED TV looks pretty nice. It's kind of ourtageous that they have a TV that can produce such a magnificent picture. It's so incredibly sleek too. A half-inch thick TV?! That's def mindblowing.
Geetha Pokala- 8
I think the Panasonic 56-inch 4K OLED TV is very unique because of how different it is compared to other tv's.The display measures just 0.5 inches in thickness and was manufactured using 3D-printing technology.

Omg a must have phone Sony Xperia Z because there is no more worrying if it is in water becuase guess what... IT IS WATERPROOF! Best thing ever.
Watson 8
Steam Box a.k.a. "Piston" Looks pretty cool. It takes game from Steam, and puts them into some type of console, im not sure how it would work, but it still is a cool idea.

I hate to be predcitable but I think that the Samsung Youm is super cool. Even though I'm not rough on my phone, I think the fact that this phone will have a thin plastic display instead of glass, making the screen pliable, bendable and almost unbreakable is fantastic. The prototype was 4.5 inches wide, less than .33 mm thick and had a screen resolution of 800 x 480 pixels.
Maggie King, 8th
That Panasonic 56-inch 4K OLED TV is the definition of that Gucci Gucci Goodness. Its got 3840 x 2160 pixel set and 3-D TV!
