Urg, Big Dorky Glasses!!!

These glasses are what you need to view your new 3D tv!! The only sad part is that you must have glasses to watch your brand new television. Hmm..I don't know how I would feel about sitting on my couch, eating popcorn, wearing huge glasses, and this would be all the time, not just watching a movie. Some people might now mind wearing these glasses all the time, but I know that I would feel goofy! Not only are these glasses relatively large, but, for a family of four, they can cost up to as much as a regular 2D tv. I would never want to pay that much for dorky glasses that I would have to wear all the time to watch shows on my television. Anything 3D is a huge accomplishment in the technological world, but is it getting to be too much?

Let's Make A Robot Family!!:)

Most robots look like other machines and only do one task. Friendly Robotics RL1000 “Robomotor” is a lawnmower that’ll cut your grass automatically. The cost is roughly $1800. In order to update the Robomower, you have to plug it into the phone line, and it’ll automatically download software updates. These same robotics are even being used in smart houses. Robotics will make everyday household living a crazy experience!

I think any robot than could help a family out is a good idea. For example, I know that my dad is extremely busy all the time, and if had a robot to mow his lawn, when it needed it, he would be much happier and less stressed out all the time. Having a robot to mow for you could be bad aswell, depending on how you go about using this technical device!

Ahh I Hate Bridges Sooooo Much!!

The importance of underwater investigation of railroad bridges cannot be stated enough, especially in light of so many railroad bridges and the trend of severe storms, greater-than-ever high water conditions and the potential to see levels that have never previously been experienced. Railroad bridges, more often than not, have larger, more closely spaced foundations that make them much more vulnerable for other waterway effects, which are by far, the leading cause of bridge failures from an underwater standpoint. Given these realities, it's easy to see why it is so important that the properly executed underwater inspection of railroad bridges should be implemented as part of an effective bridge maintenance program, as well as to identify any critical conditions out there before it is too late. I really think this needs to be checked out! It is really scary to think how dangerous it could be!! AHHHHHH!!

Tablet Computers!

Sony created their first ever tablet computers! In an attempt to catch up to the well known iPad, Sony made a look-a-like and was completely dominated. Sony's version of the iPad was put to second place while the iPad easily took first. These tablet computers will, however, be the first to provide the capability to play PlayStation games!
I personally think it is pointless to keep creating the same product over and over. Companies continue copying other companies and creating the exact same thing. Why can't we just keep adding to the new product insead of having thirteen of the same product out on the market? New technology is usually good, but this computer...I'm not to sure about it!!!

LASERS!!!!

The European Commission has approved plans to build a trio of lasers that will each dwarf the power of existing lasers.The three new lasers, one each in the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Romania, are set to be completed by 2015. Each will fire pulses that reach a power of 10 petawatts the equivalent of several hundred times the power used by human civilization.Each laser will cost the U. S. about $400,000,000. 

If this device will really improve science as much as these people think they would, then that is awesome. These lasers seem like quite some work, and I feel like they would take a long time to prepare. Technology just keeps getting more and more advanced!!!!

I Fly With The Stars In The Skies:)

A new advancement in science has come upon us. Scientists have recently created an amazing new telescope. At ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile, The Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope have us the possibility to capture scenes such as a new image of the nebula NGC 3582. This telescope has made it possible for scientists to the smallest things arounds this nebula. From this photo you are even able to see the gas loops that resemble solar prominences.

Being able to see something that far away from the Earth amazes me. This telescope has such a countless amount of capabilities. Imagine if they take what they know from this telescope and use it to make one that magnifies even greater than this one. Envision all of the amazing, new things we could find in the depths of outer space with the technology capabilities we have!

Underwater Adventures!!

This underwater, baby submarine is such a break in technology, and could open up so many opportunities for future underwater research. This was built to go to depths of 1,000 meters down into the ocean. This submarine can also hold two to five passengers for up to 18 hours under the water. The submarine can even dive as far as 100 meters. This device has a 360-degree acrylic hull that allows the passengers to have the best view possible. To ride in this device the cost goes up to $990,000.

This breakthrough submarine can open up so many doors for underwater research. Imagine how much more information we can find from this piece of technology. This device makes me believe that submarine will continue coming out more and more advanced, and eventually be able to get low enough in the ocean, to find even more discoveries.

Video Surf!!!!

Don't you just hate it when you want to find a certain video on youtube and 7,000 other vidoes with the same name pop up. For example, when i type in the name of a song, I want the music video to come up, not people acting famous and trying to dance. It annoys me so bad when other vidoes come up before the legitament music video. Urgggg! What about when you want to watch a video and
There is a new Video Search Engine that allows you to navigate through the crazy web mess. What an amazing invention! Video Surf recognizes images within the video it scans. That means the video that runs through the program can clearly identify the images that play throughout the video. This device helps take the pictures in the video into account, so the name will clearly identify the video. With sites like youtube and google people can tag their videos with popular names so their video will come up more often. This device will prevent videos, that are unrelated to the search name, from showing up.
I think this invention is a wonderful idea because I know that I would most definately use this site over all the other sites, so I can get the correct video I am looking for, much quicker.

Be Happy:)

I came across this website from a friend. I heard her talking about it one day, and it seemed pretty interesting. One day i decided to check it out. The website is called Gives Me Hope, and it is extremely insperational. This website is a place where people can post small stories about situations that have given them hope. Everything you read on this website can touch you in some way, and will leave some sort of impact on you. This is such an amazing pick me up when you are having a down day.

Technology, such as this website, are the main reasons that I love the internet. This webiste tells stories about saving people's lives through small gestures. It is the most amazing site that could even have been made, in my opinon. If everyone read even just one story on this website, everyday it would make the world such a happier place. Technology, no matter how intimidating it may be to some people, can have major impacts on the lives of many people.

Woahhhh, Robot!

A new robot has come to life. iMobot its a robtic "arm" that can be linked together to make a larger version of itslef. It is being tested to hopefully be used for search and rescue operations, and further robotic research. This robotic device has many capabilities. iMobot can roll end-over-end like a tread tank. It can also stand straight up by itself just like a camera stand. It can even inch along like a worm. This device can rotate 180 degrees. Reserchers are even looking into combining multiple iMobots that can work together as one, and do even greater good than the single one.

This device seems like a wonderful breakthrough for researches. The iMobot seems like it would be able to help with so many useful things for our world. Imagine if they made one big enough to rescue actual people. This arm-like robot could greatly improve our world, and help with so many rescue missions. I believe so many people could be helped by this device!
