Zipit
There are numerous households that struggle and dispute over who is using the computer in 21st century. Parents need computer for their business or other document work. However, teenagers use computer to be part of social networking or live messanger service. Parents could buy their kids a laptop, however it is not affordable. For these situation, product like Zipit is useful.
Zipit is a gadget that allows user to log into AIM, MSN, or Yahoo messanger service account and use live messaging service. It has Wi-fi technology so user is able to connect to the web through wireless internet service or hotspot. Through Zipit, people can listen to music, watch movie, and even listen to internet radio. Surprisingly, Zipit has Linux Technology inside. There is a rumor going on that hackers are looking forward to hack this device just like they did to i-touch.
Personally, I like Zipit idea. Its price is also understandable and its ability is modernaged. However, there are some downside of this gadget. Keyboard of this device is way too small and flicking through multiple conversation will be hard using this small device. Before people buy this device, they should first think about if Zipit is actually better than the PDA or cellphones they are using. I would recommand parents to buy laptops for their children than buying this gadget. This gadget will only distract kids from their daily life.
Audio Spotlight?! GENIOUS!
YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE HOW AMAZING THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY IS!
Were you ever annoyed by one of your family member, listening to a music through a speaker with a blasting volume? You could make them wear their headphones. However they hate wearing headphones and you guys have a huge argument. Well, there is a hot newest technology that will solve this problem.
Audio Spotlight is a speaker made by Holosonics, that converts the “sound” or “sound wave” into a laser like beam and shines it into a certain area. By doing so, only people or object that the “Audio Spotlight” is shining at is able to hear the sound. This allows the people who are on the area of “Audio Spotlight” to be able to listen to a music, while people out of the area to do their own business without being distracted by the music. Now, museums, library, and even some advertisements are using technology. Click “HERE” and you will be able to watch a video about the Audio Spotlight.
I strongly believe that, there are numerous ways that this amazing technology will benefit us. Earphones will no longer be needed because of the Audio Spotlight. Also individuals will be able to watch their own favorite television show without distracting others. If Audio Spotlight is attatched to every seat on the airplane, people will be able to move freely without all the plugs from the headphones that you used to wear. This new technology will provide us with both freedom and entertainment.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is one of many modern technologies that are commonly being used. Bluetooth is basically a short distance (within 10m. range) data transferring technology. It is quite convenient. However, the data transferring speed is slower than WIFI, used for wireless internet technology. Bluetooth is commonly used for communicating via cell phones that are paired with Bluetooth headset. This enables Bluetooth users to make a phone call, without using actual cell phone, but just by using a Bluetooth headset.
Bluetooth is not only used to ease the inconvenience of using cell phones but also used to connect devices together without using wires. People can transfer files wirelessly between 2 Bluetooth enabled devices. Transferring a small file might be convenient. However, transferring a file with huge memory, like movies, would be difficult since the speed of Bluetooth isn’t that great.
Already, so many people are enjoying this practical technology, myself included. I strongly believe that the amount of people who would use this technology will rise continuously. I have a Bluetooth mp3 (Samsung T9), and a Bluetooth stereo headset (Jabra BT 620s). When I am listening to a music through the stereo headset, I don’t need to worry about tangled wires or keeping track of where mp3 player is, since I am able to control everything through Stereo headset. This is because the stereo headset has buttons that enable you to play, stop, change track, as well as changing the volume Even though Bluetooth might be slower than WiFi technology, it is still commonly being used because of its convenience in experiencing wireless technology.
Next year, next month, next week, or even tomorrow, the usage of this amazing technology will improve. We will no longer see any wires in devices. We will no longer carry all of our appliances, since this Bluetooth technology will allow us to connect to our appliances wirelessly.
