Along with every other year, there is always new technology that comes out to impress the world weather it is new car feature to a new cell phone. This year seems to top all the rest as there are some mind blowing technology coming out in the year 2010. This year, not only are companies coming out with new phones but also new ways to charge your iPod, which are environment friendly, but also brand new computers.
This year LG is coming out with a new phone, only released in Europe last year. This is not only a new phone but a watch, the LG GD910. Who can say that they can bust out their watch and send a text message? This new design has all of the features of a regular phone including Bluetooth and music. Like all other new cell phones this one might cost a pretty penny, up to $700.
As one walks through the hallways of RHS one take a glance up at the ceilings and might see the video cameras the school has installed in mostly every hall way. Like other surveillance systems they have television set that show when there is something going on in the halls or outside. But there is a new way to monitor not only a school but an office or home also. This upgraded video camera is called the Archerfish Solo, this camera is wireless, but that leaves everyone with the question of how do you know when there is an intruder if you cannot see what is being videotaped. This camera is programmed to send you an e-mail through wireless internet when there is an intruder, which gets rid of all of the space consuming wires.
First there was the cassette player, then the CD player, then the IPod. No, they are not coming out with a new IPod at this moment but they do have a new charger that hooks up to your bike. This new battery coverts energy from the wheel hubs of a bike, using a chip inside the battery that takes the electricity to fill the battery.
Everybody has seen those movies where someone was typing on their computer at the coffee shop and they happen to bump their coffee and it spills all over their laptop, which is no longer a problem. The HP ProBook 6545b is a new laptop that is coffee proof. This computer is specially designed with a lining underneath the keyboard that takes the spilled coffee and channels near the spacebar and out a hole on the bottom of the computer.
If you like to read then I’m sure that you have heard of e-books, a way to carry around your favorite books without having to worry about bending and tearing the pages. The new e-book allows you to send your books to your friends so they can borrow them like they would a regular book.
Technology is growing every day, who knows maybe one day there will robots that do all of the work for us.
