What would you do if all of your electronics stopped working?

What would you do if all of your electronics stopped working?

Thinking about my gadgets and laptops deceased is one of the saddest love affairs that would ever be told, yes, it would be even more so than the one in Twilight, except I would have the Kristen Stewert look on my face. I can’t remember a life without at least one gadget in my hand at some point. I remember Lite Brite, Game Boy and my favorite… Speak n’ Spell to my dolls Cricket, Teddy Ruxbin and the babies that could eat and burp to Oopsie Daises crawling on my living room floor. We may not have thought about it then of just how much technology has been influential in our lives since back then it was just…

Facebook allows users to switch profiles into pages

Facebook allows users to switch profiles into pages

Understanding the difference between Facebook profiles and its pages has not been easy for many businesses, prior to pages, brands would create profiles and once the pages rolled out they did not want to lose the number of friends they had or their progress on their page thus far. Therefore, they were willing to go against Facebook’s Terms of Service in order to keep the profile.

This LED pillow mimics the Nintendo star

This LED pillow mimics the Nintendo star

Just looking at this photo, I can hear the music that would play when you stumbled across a star in Nintendo’s Mario series. Music from games sum up my childhood, especially when it involves my favorite plumber, so when I saw this pillow I automatically was thrown back into the early 90’s with a smile on my face. …

The keyboard that loves to be washed

The keyboard that loves to be washed

As we sit in front of our computers, below our resting fingers is a cesspool of germs. Our keyboards collect everything our hands touch, collects food debris and any dust that is within the air.

Even though we may take a wipe to it now and again, is it really enough to say that it is clean? …

Take those old records off the shelf and put them on your wall

Take those old records off the shelf and put them on your wall

There is nothing like vinyl, the way it would slide out of the cardboard sleeve and glisten from the light onto the blackness of a record. Music was made with circular lines that with a stylist would belt out your favorite tunes. Since technology has made our formats of music players smaller and has improved how quickly we can receive music we miss out on the process of finding a gem, nothing will beat walking into a record store and finding the treasure to add to your collection. An accomplishment that was rewarding and one that you wanted to take home right away to introduce to your record player. …

It is our computerized friend and all of its abilities to make our lives less of a hassle and even a little more organized. We don’t need an alien attack or a zombie apocalypse (although the Walking Dead makes it look oh so cool); we already have something that we have succumbed to… This isn’t the age of Technology; instead, it is a Technology takeover. …
