A case of the tech goggles
The tech world just gets more and more amazing everyday. Some in the tech world stand by the idea that technology doubles in performance every 18 months, sometimes referred to as Moore's Law. This can easily be seen in cellphones, just picture your phone five years ago (if you can remember back that many phones ago) and now look at all of the capabilities of the new IPhones or Android phones. We never thought how integrated everything could be, from mobile calls to shopping and adverting, everything is at your finger tips. For example look at Google Goggles, and even better yet download it immediately. Whats it do? Well hold your smart phone up to pretty much any item you can imagine, and snap a picture..... Boom! Seconds later you have instant feedback from Google, if you took a picture of a business it will come up on a map, take a picture of a new tv, find a listing of that tv's prices locally. How bad ass is that! You can even use a little app called RedLaser to scan whatever barcode your little heart desires and shop for the best price right on your phone. Hell, why even leave your couch anymore, we haven't.
