Gadgets

It is arguable that the advancements in technology have created a more isolated population that seems unable to get their heads up from their smartphones, tablets or computers.

With increasing number of social platforms and technology being created at a lightening pace, our destinies are almost evolving just like the animated movie “Wall-E” predicted our outcome to be in the year 2085.

Composting in the city is starting to catch on but apartment dwellers usually toss their food scraps in the communal composting bins. What if you could do your own composting for your little garden on your balcony or patio? The Worm Farm by Urbalive is an awesome little indoor kit for composting your kitchen bio waste with red worms (Lumbricus rubellus) and red wigglers (Eisenia fetida).

It seems like our lives revolve around gadgets and things. It’s silly really but that’s just the way society is today. I’m trying to phase that materialistic stuff out of my life but they keep knocking at my door. The QuikStand by Nite Ize is just an example. Something completely unnecessary but still very handy at times. What makes it great is that it is compact enough to fit in your wallet so you’ll always have it in “times of need”. 

You never know how great your home can be before you fill it with the latest technology.

Nothing makes a guy look more hip than a pair of sunglasses. Just think of Neo in The Matrix. Michael Knight in Knight Rider. The Blues Brothers!

We are living in a very strange world at the moment. A mysterious transformation has taken place over the past 120 years or so. The industrial revolution paved the way for a technological revolution and a branch of the technological revolution is the digital revolution. Before you know it, even paper money will be phased out and we might end up using a universal digital currency so the enslavement of mankind can continue. Some people look forward to that day although I personally think that’s a terrible idea. Advancements in technology are occurring at an extremely fast pace and an example of this is the patent Sony has been awarded to record videos via contact lenses.

I generally pick an inconvenient time to do my grocery shopping because I’d rather be inconvenienced at an odd hour to shop in a store with almost no customers as opposed to shopping on the weekend or after work hours and deal with a chaotic supermarket. Have you ever been to Costco or Super Store on the weekend? The “traffic” within the store is enough to drive me insane. At the present moment, I use a service called “Click and Collect” at Super Store. I basically pick my groceries online and then for a $3 fee, the store employees pick my items, and I simply go to a designated parking spot at the store and have the items delivered straight to my vehicle. Pretty simple, right?

In this day and age, pretty much everyone that has past into adulthood owns a credit card. It’s a very useful tool to have in the city and it helps you get around quite easily in terms of paying for things. They’ve managed to take the convenience level even further some years back when they introduced the RFID chips for credit cards. With these chips, owners can pay for things by simply touching their card on a scanner in the store. There’s no more need to swipe your card to have it inserted in a device in order to finalize your payment. It’s great, but it’s also dangerous and that’s something that not many people realize. How is it dangerous, you ask?

While the Amazon Echo is not perfect – yet, there are so many things that can be achieved with it. It is an incredibly intelligent device which offers so many possibilities. It is unbelievable therefore, that anyone could think that its capabilities are only limited to helping you with a couple of recipes on a random day you decide to whip up a fresh batch of cookies.
