Funny Technology - Amazing Gadgets That Make No Sense

We love technology and we depend on technology. There are many amazing things that are now available all thanks to science and technology breakthroughs, but from time to time an invention or two, or even a product that goes on the market, comes to our attention that we simply have to ask ourselves: who invented this and why?

Well if some things are useless at least they are funny, the latest from the world of useless tech that grabbed my attention was iCarta iPod toilet paper holder, a paper holder that has built in iPod dock and speakers. What's next, toilet paper app, what are we going to do with either of these? Another crazy app that makes no sense, besides being a cool decoration, is the Moonlight Cushion. This amazing gadget, pillow, has a built in LED light source that changes colors like a rainbow. So don't confuse it with a mushroom trip, it's just your bad investment or lack of taste, the food was fine.

If you have a couple of thousand of dollars to spend you may want to get yourself the ultimate toilet, the Intelligence Toilet 2. Personally with all the functions and all the things this toilet can do for you I would prefer to go to the neighbors. It can check your body weight, blood pressure, measure urine temperature and keep track of woman's cycle as well as measure and keep track of your blood sugar levels. You can get all of this info on your computer. That's right; the toilet is directly linked to your computer. Now I'm not saying that this is a useless tech gadget, it clearly has a great use, I simply think it's scary and overpriced.

There are hundreds of incredible and misunderstood tech products that hit the market each year, some have a use, some don't, one thing is for user, they make a great laugh.

Electronic Gadgets in Our Homes

The electronic gadgets have become a part of life. However like everything else in this world, there are two sides to having electronic gadgets. I am a usual house wife. I remember that day when my husband came back home extremely happy. Apparently he had got a big refund for filing income tax return on time. And as expected my first reaction was: let's get a washing machine. I actually was on cloud nine at the time when my first washing machine was delivered to my doorstep. I have to confess here that I absolutely hate washing clothes with my hands.

After this first big purchase, I have surrounded myself with many useful electronic gadgets. Over the years the newer models have replaced the older ones. I actually made an excuse every time a newer model was made available in the market that it would work better. The list of electronic items is endless such as: toaster, refrigerator, dishwasher, air conditioner, geyser, room heater, vacuum cleaners, griller and microwave. No home of the modern era is complete without these items.

The electronic items are not considered as luxuries any more. They are useful in making our lives easy. In older days it was considered okay when the lady of the house stayed back at home and looked after the home. However, most women nowadays work to earn a living. They need to balance home and work. Because of this the gadgets are home maker's best friends. The electronic gadgets have brought entertainment right into the living rooms. Nowadays we can see the full solar eclipse happening in India just by sitting in our couch here in US.

Advancements in Computer Technology

With technology progressing as fast as it is at the present, it is a wonder we do not have a new mass-marketed gadget appearing every few minutes. Personal computers, once predicted to be owned by a mere handful of individuals, are everywhere nowadays. If you are a student a personal computer is virtually a necessity. Accompanying the ever-increasing popularity of the personal computer is a plethora of gadgets and technological advancements. Though it may not be every few minutes, it seems as though every couple of months we hear about a computer with more storage space or a new device that one can connect to their computer.

Some devices that appear on the market are either completely superfluous or not so accessible to the entirety of the population, whether it is because of their cost or their limited supply. The costly devices are reserved to those who can afford them, until some new gadget replaces them and the price of these machines decreases, much like any new technology that appears on the market. Those gadgets, which are unnecessary, are not overly practical and the market for these creations is comprised mainly of those with an affinity for such devices. Inventions like webcams, while they are certainly fun to play with, are essentially unnecessary as they have no bearing on the actual operation of the computer and are used largely for leisure computer activities.

The more purposeful advancements in computer technology revolve around those, which increase the computers ability to manage certain tasks and those, which increase the storage space of the computer. Many personal computer owners find themselves craving more space to store songs or various other files and often wishing that their computer were faster. Though many computers produced today have a excessive storage space, that is, it is nearly impossible to fill a personal computer to capacity, these types of advancements permit a much speedier and more efficient functioning computer.

The Top 5 Gadgets of 2012

Gadgets, gadgets, gadgets. Believe it or not they make the world go round. Whether we love them, hate them, need them, use them, or just plain want them; gadgets are cool. Yes, if nothing else they're cool! Life can be tough at times and gadgets are there to make things a little easier (and have fun while doing so). It was a real shame to hear "Q" in the new Bond movie, Skyfall, say that gadgets are a thing of the past, part of an "old" generation and have gone out the window for Double "O" agents. Why do that? We want to see a gun doubling up as a homing beacon, or a trip wire dispenser. The bottom line is we all love gadgets and here are few to look out for this Christmas season.

HOME: - liGo BlueWave

Given the popularity of mobile phones, landlines are slowly becoming a thing of the past. But for those unwilling to carry their "hand extensions" everywhere they go so as to not miss a call, need look no further than the new liGo. Connect liGo to your mobile via Bluetooth technology and simply plug-in your landline. Now you can answer up to 3 different mobiles via your home phone (corded or cordless) and make use of dialling out with those 1000's of unspent inclusive mobile minutes from anywhere in the home. Impressive, right? Especially useful for those of us whose mobile carrier signal suffers severe paralysis anywhere except for the most cumbersome of places. It's fully iPhone Voice Dial and Siri compatible as well. What more could you ask for?

HEALTH/FITNESS: - Garmin 910XT

Looking to get fit and stay healthy? This little device may quickly become your best friend. Sporting all the goodness of Garmin that runners have come to love, this GPS watch will do more than just track your run.

With accurate GPS tracking you'll soon be pushing yourself harder, faster, and further than you ever have trying out the Xbox Kinect, and be "cool" while doing so. Although it comes with a steep price tag compared to simpler and cheaper models for fitness newbies unsure of whether fitness is for them, it's a good a multi-sport fitness aid and one you'll be sure to hold onto for many a year, the 910XT gives great bang for your buck in the long run.

New Technology Trends For Future Gadgets And Mobile Devices

If all the predictions of the twenty-first century were correct then by now we should be driving flying cars and we should be having robots do our household tasks. Predicting which gadgets and technological devices will change our lives is a task fraught with difficulty. The future predictions are not 100% accurate but they do guide us and help us discover what new gadgets will become the part of our daily lives in future.

Based on the trends of today that include instantaneous communications everywhere and mobile access to e-mails it can be predicted that the future will consist of even faster networks, increased performance of computer processing and storage. Lighter, portable and cheaper high definition screens will be available and the Smartphone will rival today's desktop PC's for power and storage. The trends for future gadgets are:

• Miniaturization
• Futuristic, innovative and bold design
• Touch screens
• Using hi technology and hi speed microchips
• Greener gadgets

Miniaturization

Miniaturization trend is related to the creation of ever-smaller mechanical, optical, and electronic products and devices. There is an inclination towards constructing and manufacturing ever smaller-scale gadgets due to the desire for size efficiency and mobility. Devices that take less space are more desired than those that are bigger, bulkier and occupy more space. Miniature gadgets are being created because they are convenient to use, easier to carry and easier to store.

Technology and Gadget Evolution

It wasn't too long ago, when tiny camera's, night vision, voice recognition technology and many more technological advances were not available to the general public. They were more suited to corporate organisations and the military who could afford it. But now, in the so called Technological age, that's all changed. Now freely available in consumer electronics. But for a very cheap price too considering the technology.

Remember when CGI technology blew peoples minds when it was first seen. Now you probably wont see many movies without it. And remember when gadgets were exclusively for make belief secret agents such as 007 or Inspector Gadget. Now we see an entire market for gadgets for the public, from Mobile Phones to laser pens. It just shows how technology is moving along faster than an F1 race car. Why is this? It's simple, there's so much demand for gadgets, technology and anything that has a red LED that blinks. Companies have whole departments set on making something smaller and better at the cheapest price.

It wont be long until we find futuristic gadgets we see in movies today appearing in your local supermarket for shirt buttons. In fact even now innovation is happening, with the first motion sensing technology being used in video games consoles without the need for a controller.

Luxuries Are the New Necessity - Personal Gadgets and Entertainment Devices Top Must-Have Lists

Brown is the new black, 40 is the new 30 and luxuries are the new necessity. While the down-trodden economy has the general public scaling back on budgets and kicking many fun and non-mandatory expenses to the curb (family vacations, golf lessons, dining out and acrylic nails, just to name a few), items like big screen LCD televisions, multi-function cell phones and assorted tech gadgets are proving to have real staying power.

Although personal electronic items took a small hit in 2009 (sales were roughly 8% lower than in '08), the industry didn't see the degree of recession related damages that plagued the U.S. automobile market, apparel retailers or even real estate. Apparently as long as your friends can get in touch with you on your iPhone, a permanent address might not be entirely essential.

Many employers, conscious of the environmental and financial benefits of encouraging work-at-home options for many staff members, all but demand the use of versatile smart phones. Their multi-function capabilities allow professionals to maintain constant contact with headquarters and facilitate seamless communication with co-workers.

Despite the many assorted consumer budget cuts, it's estimated that smart phones may rake in close to $18 billion in sales over the coming year, taking over approximately 17% of the market share according to Forrester Research and AdAge.

USB Technology Benefits a Huge Number of Gadgets

Some of the most diverse and useful gadgets in existence these days all have one thing in common- they take advantage of USB technology. USB is a type of connection technology that's been on computers for years and has gradually been migrating into other devices that aren't necessarily even intended to be connected to computers. USB ports and cables have been able to connect computers to numerous types of gadgets for years. For example, many printers, scanners, digital cameras, computer mice, external drives, and numerous other gadgets have all been USB ready for a number of years. Digital cameras are a great example of the type of gadget that benefits form USB connectivity. For example, you can either plug your digital camera directly into your computer to transfer pictures into it, or you can use a special flash memory card reader the comes with many digital cameras and plugs into a USB port of the computer and allows you to simply put the flash memory card from your digital camera into the reader in order to transfer the photos. This device looks and behaves like a miniature disc drive and makes it so that you don't have to reinstall a device every time you want to transfer photos like you would if you took them directly from the camera.

USB ports also lend themselves well to various kinds of wireless technology. For example, it's now possible to have a wireless mouse and or a wireless keyboard work with your computer through a device that plugs into a USB port and receives the wireless signals form the mouse or keyboard and inputs them to the computer. It's also possible to connect a computer to a wireless network by plugging a special wireless antenna into the computer using a USB port.

One type of gadget that's uses USB technology and is becoming increasingly popular is the portable USB drive. These devices are essentially compact flash memory chips that have USB connectors on one end. These devices can be used to back up files and transfer files from one computer to another when they aren't networked together. They typically come with storage capacities of 256 MB, 512 MG, and 1 GB. Some of these devices even offer various types of encryption in order to protect the data on them. Some are unlocked by password and others even have fingerprint recognition systems built in. These gadgets often come concealed in other things like pens and watches, and have proven themselves to be a nightmare for security experts at large companies with sensitive information secured on their computers.

How Latest Gadgets and Technologies Have Changed the World

We cannot live without electricity nor can we survive the whole day without knowing whether which is the latest gadget and technology out in the market for purchase, which would've give benefit to businessmen and alike, and at the same time work on our immediate homework or assignment at hand. Basically, we need technology and we are a big part of it already. We live, strive and thrive for information. Gadgets that are invented or produced are debatable. Some of these things are television, telephone, camera, movie camera, microwave oven, video cassette player and recorder, video gaming consoles, Sony's Walkman, IBM's personal computer or PC etc,. The latest gadgets include superior versions of DVDs, smart phones, camcorders, laptops, iPods, iPhones, the Blackberry, PCs, computer notebooks, pedometers etc. That modern gadgets have changed the world is a crass understatement. No one wants to go back to the days of no television, no washing machines and certainly, no cell phone; either of these gadgets. Hi-tech gadgets are propagating by the dozen, as companies compete with each other to catch the eyes of gadget freaks or just time-pinched consumers. The fact that everything we see today are run by technology, seems like it brings a big change to all of us. It's either a change for the betterment or even the worse of everybody.

Because of these latest gadgets and technologies, people have put reading, and books, behind them. They have lost focus on the origin of everything, on how extremely important learning method is. Reading not only helps us to learn vital information, but it also allows us to use our imagination and make our creative mind work. We have begun to call books words like: outdated, useless, and old school which isn't true. Most of us look at computers and new technology as the latest way to spend our down time and could relax more. We are becoming lazy nowadays. Our whole lives have become covered by the world of quicker and more advanced technology. We are now forgetting the things that we usually do, before these things come out. Learn the basics, as what they say. We learn, but we never forget. Just because of these stuffs, seems like from the beginning our whole life is run by techies already.

The Coolest Technologies And Gadgets In The Market

In the last few years, the personal technology industry has suddenly exploded with a special segment of innovative gadgets. These gadgets utilize existing technologies and create very interesting use cases for them. So here are some of those cool new things that are happening in the Technology market right now.

Touchscreen Technology
It has been around for quite some time now but it was Apple who suddenly came out with the multi touch iPhone. There statement was very bold - a smartphone with only one physical button. This sparked a revolution in the market and we are finally reaping the benefits in the form of multiple touchscreen based portable devices. There are touchscreen PMP's, touchscreen tablets/slates and of course - the new generation touchscreen phones and their respective mobile OS.

GeoLocation
For a lot of people, life without letting people know where they had their coffee would feel incomplete. And with geolocation built right on to your phone, it is easy to do that. The current crop of GPS/AGPS enabled smartphones with their collection of smart location based apps like FourSquare and GoWalla are completely changing how our real world activities interact with the virtual world.

Low Power Consuming, High Performance CPU's
These are mostly mobile processors like the ones made by ARM (e.g. Cortex A9) that run the modern day handheld devices. They run at amazing speeds that touch 1Ghz and also have multiple cores. These are the CPU's that have made sure that we can achieve futuristic ideas right now. The amount of power that we can now fit into the palm of our hands is amazing. This makes sure that all the other miniature technologies have access to enough processing power to do great things.

Solar Technology
This technology has also been around for quite some time now but only recently has it developed enough to makes its way in to really cool gadgets. We now have solar chargers for our cell phones. Solar powered small fans are also quite common. But the best solar panel that I have seen so far is one that is foldable like a cloth and charges your laptop in bright sun light.

Pico Projectors
This one is mainly thanks to Texas Instruments and their groundbreaking miniature DLP engine. This engine, along with miniature LCoS engine brought about the pico projector revolution. Now projectors can be small enough to fit inside your phone, digital camera and more. And even though they are not very bright now, that is changing fast.

Thin Speakers, Really Thin
How thin do you think speakers can go? Well, the thinnest so far are speakers made out of cloth. Yes, Yamaha has made cloth speakers that are 1 'millimeter' thin. It is thin enough to be easily wrapped up and transported. And if you print on it, it will look like any other piece of printed cloth. But it can emit sound that can be heard when standing directly in front of it. It is still not commercially available but it will hopefully be in the market soon.

Effects Of Technology And High-Tech Gadgets In Our Lives

Technology is the energy that drives our lives. It runs in the veins of society. Technology is related with innovation and creativity. It transforms ideas and thoughts into reality and into something that is helpful to society and human life. It has brought luxury and benefit to an average person's life. The level of automation that technology has brought about has saved time and human effort to a great extent. It has simplified the access to information and brought distant places closer.
