Computer Enabled

The expanded uses and capabilities of computers is pushing the creation of gadgets into the world of the incredible and sometimes “unbelievable”. I recently stumbled across a website (www.polyer.com) which listed some of these newer computer enabled devices.

Clocky- This is a clock for people for have trouble getting up in the morning. Listen to this…when you press the snooze alarm…Clocky rolls off the table and finds a hiding spot. It keeps ringing until you get out of bed and shut it off…I’m not kidding.
Auto Charge Flashlight- How many times have you reached for the flashlight only to fine the batteries were dead? I know…you don’t even have to answer…Well, that won’t happen with the T-100 Dynamo. T100 is ready when you need it. It contains an electric generator that converts mechanical energy into electricity… No light?…just squeeze
T-100 for one minute and presto…”let there be light”.
Hokey Spokes- Hokey Spokes attaches illuminated blades to the spokes of your bicycle wheels. “What’s the big deal?”…Hokey Spokes has a mini-computer inside its blades that produces modulated strings of LED displays. You can program Hokey Spokes to display text messages on you bike’s wheels as you ride.
SensorBin- Calling all clean-niks…SensorBin is a hands free automatic lid opening waste bin. It uses a “smartchip” which allows you to get the trash into the bin without touching it. Place your hand near the bin and it opens automatically. Drop the trash in…7 seconds later the bin closes.
Eye Ball R1- This is a compact wireless display system designed to take 360 degree pictures. It is shaped like a ball and very rugged. You can throw it, toss it etc. Who would use Eye Ball R1? Law Enforcement Officers…before officers enter a building, R1 could be projected inside and transmit wireless pictures on demand.

Ah computers…they are amazing aren’t they?
