Cell Phone Magic

I was eight years old when I saw my first cell phone. It was my mom's cell phone and boy did i think that was cool. It was gigantic grey plastic thing that wrapped around the side of her face. The antenna was about ten feet long and still got really bad service. I remember thinking how amazing these new pieces of technology was and I thought my mom was the only person who had one. I was right. Not many people back then had the cell phone and most people around the world have never heard of a cell phone. But that was then.

Cell phones are all over the place now days and they are getting more and more complex everyday. I turn on the TV and there is always a different cell phone commerical. From when my mom had her first piece of crap cell phone to now the times have changed. The cell phone is changing the every day world and especially the business world. When i was in 6th grade everybody had a cell phone. Cell phone popularity is generating all throughout the world. And the capabilities of the cell phone are just amazing.

What can't the cell phone do? It has become the whole package, and this package comes in all different shapes and sizes. Cell phones can be as small as your thumb and are as big as a grown adult's hand. But it seems like the case for size is "smaller is better." The ski is the limit for the technology being boosted onto the cell phone.

From only being able to dial and receive phone calls to being able to text and picture message people all over the world. Cellular phones are magical they can do whatever you want. If you need to take a picture and you don't have your camera, the cell phone is there. If you are in the middle of a movie and can't make an important phone call, the cell phone is there with texting. If you feel like working out and you forgot to bring your CD player; most cell phones have mp3 technology now. You can even get on the web from your cell phone. Cell phones must cause some sort of brain damage because they are just too good to be true. I can't think of one more capability that someone would need....o yea watch a movie. Wait the cell phone can that as well.

From being a large piece of junk that weighed twenty pounds and blocked one side of your vision when held up to your ear to a small pocket size computer that makes calls. The cell phone might be the greatest piece of technology ever to be made. Talking to someone from opposite points of the globe was something never thought to ever be done.

Going Green

We as a country need to go green. Green stands for anyway to help the environment stay healthy. And believe me there are a lot different ways to help protect planet earth. If we don't take action now chances are it won't affect our generation. No big deal right? But what about our children, their children, and their children after that? Do we want to to put our future in jeopardy. I know I don't. Just doing the simplest things everyday will help keep the environment strong and clean. Also, in addition with the green movenment there are some new advances in technology that will help push us to reach our goal as well.

The light bulb. It is pretty important in our everyday life, wouldn't you say? We need it. Can see with out it. But our regular old light bulbs, that we have been using for decades, have been wasting important energy. Our society needs something better and more efficient, that will last longer. There is a modern bulb that fits the going green needs. There are new Energy Smart Bulbs that lasts for eight years and saves 66$ in engery costs. It is a 20watt bulb that is equivical to an old 75watt bulb. The thing pumps out 1300 lumens and has a lifespan of 12,000 hours. This bulb kics some serious butt.

Who has heard of solar power? Pretty much everyone in the whole entire world. So, why haven't we made the switch yet, what's wrong with everyone? It is a great way to save engery and money. Solar power can be transformed to do everything now a days. There are solar powered cars, buildings, and homes. Yes, they cost a lot to install or buy, but after a couple of years you safe as much money as you spent. It's great for the environment because it does not polute the air and you can never run out of sun.

There are new plastic water bottles that use 30% less plastic...buy them...water is water. Making the switch to using electric cars. The car companies are just pumping out new electric models that will suit all your needs. They even look cooler. Wind Mill technology is providing tons of energy produced by air. There should be wind mills all over the place. If you want to go all out and save some energy and some money, go buy or build a house under ground. It is the newest way to live. The earth provides the air temperature in the house which saves lots of money. So try some of these new things because life is always greener on the green side.

Car Tech

It's late at night. You are alone in your car trying to find your way to a distant relative's house. The directions you were given have failed you and you are now lost. Not only is it pitch black and foggy outside, but it starts to rain hard. The unfamiliar slipperier roads are causing your car to slide and lose traction and putting you in an unsafe environment. This makes it hard to use your phone and call for directions without stopping. The situation you are put in now is not an uncommon one to be in, it happens to someone everyday. Just imagine how much better off you would be if your car had the technology to get you through this dilemma.

Car Technology is improving everyday. The technology is not only making driving easier but safer as well. The GPS technology is now considered standard in every car. There is blue tooth technology, which is becoming more popular every day. Having the technology that allows your car to know when it’s raining. Also the ability and luxury for cars to be able to park themselves is now available in some models.

GPS, Global Positioning Satellite, is one of the most helpful inventions known to man. If you don't know how to get somewhere, just plug it into the GPS and there are your directions. Getting lost on your way to a relative's house is no longer a problem when you have GPS in your vehicle. It is uncommon to find a new car that does not have GPS. It's amazing how no matter what location you plug into the thing, it always knows the how to get there. Every road is on the map, along with rest stops and restaurants. It makes driving a lot easier.

Another helpful tool that is becoming readily available is the Blue Tooth technology in your phones and cars. This technology allows talking on your phone to be hands free. Now both hands are on the wheel allowing you to keep your focus on the road. No more pulling over to make a call or multi-tasking by driving with one hand on the wheel and the other holding your phone. Driving is now safer because of the Blue Tooth technology.

Imagine your car knowing exactly when it starts to rain the same time you do. The technology is now available. The windshield wipers actually can sense when it starts to rain. The wipers then tell your car that it is raining out and the roads are going to start to get slick. The car then relays this message to a drying device located around the brakes. So when it rains and the roads start to get wet, your brakes will stay dry. This allows the driver to slam on the brakes in an emergency situation, as if it was not raining outside. Now that's safe.

Who is bad at parallel parking? I'm not bad at parking but a lot of people are GOD AWEFUL. New technology that would be a luxury is having a car park itself. I know there is a new Lexus that parallel parks itself. I have no idea how the car does it but it is pretty amazing. Soon enough cars will be driving themselves. Now, if you are one of those people that choose the far away parking spot over the closer parallel parking spot, you have the technology to do it for you. Safe yourself the long walk, you are just going to have to pay a little extra.
