GREAT SCOTT! What is this witchcraft you speak of? My initial thought after reading this was of Doc Emmett Brown's inventions in Back to the Future 1,2 and 3. Now that man was before his time.
ReplyDeleteAlthough these inventions seem new, I am not sure as a college student I would use them. I am curious as to whom these producers market these products. Are they really for college students? Or will I most likely see them on QVC between the hours of 2 and 4am?
Overall, I loved the post. It has got me intrigued to keep looking for the new upcoming "must have" item. My guess if it isn't made by Apple. I won't buy it. The iTwin maybe the only real product I could foresee using. Call me a consumer whore, but I am addicted to all things Apple. Honestly, if any of those other products had an "i" in front of it, I may have given them a second look.
Think about it: iWaterClock, iBackback, iWink, iPen. Riight? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
I don't know if you know this....but I kinda like techy stuff.
ReplyDeleteNice post. I haven't seen any of these gadgets. I especially like the water powered clock and backpack with a solar panel. I think it's little things like this that are going to set us up for an energy revolution. The wink glasses are cool too. tThey seem to be following the new trend of wearable tech. It's not long until we're all wearing mech suits.
