Gadgets, Gadgets And More Gadgets

Don’t you just love living in the modern technology era where thousands of businesses fight each other on a daily basis to bring new technology into our lives, some of it useful and some of it quite bizarre.

Even just normal everyday objects seem to get a technology overhaul just as you were getting used to the latest technology, take the humble book for example.

Its gone from hardback to paperback but in the latest developments we saw the metamorphosis of the humble book as it went digital and the audio book was born.

Travesty shouted the bookworms of the world while those of us that just wished they had more time in the day were overjoyed with our new found ability to listen and learn on the go… what more could you ask for?

Fortunately technology moves on and now the humble book has yet another evolution and the true digital book has finally arrived, and I for one am delighted.

No longer will I be shackled to that other technology slave that lives in our house to read what seems like a never ending supply of PDF’s and e-books.

Nor will I ever need to print what seems like a forest just to get a hard copy of a document I want to read away from my computer.

And yes I can even read an e-book in the sun outside without having to strain my eyes to see the screen, oh joy of joys.

So as I go to and check out this latest marvel on the internet another technology catches my eye and I see that the ever so humble pillow (yes you heard me right the pillow) has been transformed through the miracles of modern technology into a pillow with built in speakers.

Oh is there no end to this orgasmic journey of discovery, heck, by this time next week I’ll be lying in my bed reading that PDF, whilst at the same time listening to those latest self development audio books on my new speaker pillow, and if I’m really lucky the massage mattress will have arrived as well!

Now that’s what I call productivity




Could You Make Use Of Anti Surveillance Gear?

Would you buy counter spying devices?

When privacy is no more, who are you gonna call

are you wondering if someone is watching your every move? A bug detector may just be what you need.What’s interesting with our society is that our privacy is spiraling out of control, yet do not fight back.

And we often are not conscious as to how very little privacy we sometime have in some areas of our lives.Some may want to get at you personally though.And thanks to high tech, many different kind of spy gear will help them do just that.Things like wireless audio bugs and wireless nanny cams.

What you need to detect these is a good quality bug detector.It will scan the frequencies to find these little buggers,and will alert you to their presence.

While i make it sound super simple, and it kinda is,it can take much more than that to “certify” you are “eavesdropping free”.It really only depends on who you are, what you are worth, and if someone out there would be really motivated to spy on you, if there’s a compelling reason for him or them to do so.

But when you are a threat or a prey to another group of people, they will use advanced snooping devices that will be much harder to detect, and in this case you may need outside help from experts to scan your home.Basic bug detectors would not do it here.




Science Fiction Technology And Gadgets

Wednesday 27 August 2008 @ 5:53 pm

My favorite hobby is reading and I love to settle down to the classics and contemporary fiction too. I like science fiction books very much, for their imagination and thoughtful stories. Science fiction in the modern age, started out in comic strips with heroes such as Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers. They became popular in the 1950s, often referred to as The Golden Age.

People had become fascinated by technology and space travel. Against the background of the Cold War, it was good to have someone who could swoop in and save the day. Wireless, and then TV further popularized the genre and many books and magazines were written on the subject.

The strange thing about science fiction though is the way that so many of the fictional technologies of yesteryear have somehow transformed them selves into the reality of the modern technological gadgets gizmos and communications devices that are now part of out every day lives.

Where the classic science fiction writers visionaries of the future or did the technological seeds they planted in the young minds of modern designers and today’s scientists grow into the technology we see all around us.

Nobody really knows but personally I can’t wait for the advent of flying cars and instant transportation, who knows anti-grav propulsion could even save the planet from harmful green house gas emissions.
