Trackr

TrackR

Small tracking device

The TrackR allows you to track a belonging with your phone. It is a small tracker that connects to a phone with just an app! You put a battery into the device, then get the app on your phone. Dont worry its free! Then, attach it to what you want to track.The website says ¨

Let´s say you want to track your car, simply hide the tiny device anywhere like under the floor mats, in the glove compartment or in the trunk. (Somewhere it won’t be found if your car gets stolen!)¨ You can put it on something like a bike, dog that runs away a lot, electronics, keys and much more.

The TrackR can be bought at its website https://www.thetrackr.com/. They ship it in about 4 days. It is buy one get 4 free. That's 5 for the price of 1! I would really recommend buying one if you lose things a lot.

I really like the TrackR because I lose things so much. It can help me and someone else with finding things that are important to you.

3-D Selfies for the New iPhone

There are rumors that the new iPhone can map out your face. Apple might consider making a camera designed for authentication and augmented reality for the next high-end iPhone. This camera can tell how far something is from the lens and it can even make a 3-D selfie. Adding a camera seems like a natural step for Apple because Microsoft and Samsung have been using facial features for years to unlock phones. Even though this can be a great idea, there can be problems. Sometimes the camera has problems recognizing nonwhite faces and features and somebody can hold a picture of somebody to the camera to unlock the device. Apple has focused many years on developing facial recognition technology. I think this is not a good idea because it will be easier for hackers to hack into people's devices.

Fitbit

Along with tracking your steps and setting a fitness goal for you everyday, the Fitbit is now tracking your sleep. Over Many years Fitbit has tracked that the millions of fitbit users are only averaging 7 hours of sleep which is significantly lower than the estimated amount of sleep required according to the Centers of Disease Control. The fitbit now offers deeper sleep tracking on most of its devices. It is shifting from sensors to track when you are awake, when you are asleep, and when you are restless to using a heart rate sensor to clinically define the amount of time you were in the different stages of sleep. Also, the Fitbit Alta now offers a new and improved heart rate tracker and a much more compact battery that is now capable of staying charged for 7 days. The Apple Watch, one of Fitbit’s main competitors, has no where close to the capabilities of the fitbit. The Apple Watch has a charge that only lasts the day and needs to be charged overnight, causing it to have no way to track your sleep. Due to the fact that the Fitbit’s capabilities are sky high, it is currently the most popular wearable device on the market.

Emojis that crash your phone!

Did you know that if you send people three emojis, it can crash there phone? If you send someone the three emojis or do it on your phone, it can freeze the message and contacts app. The emojis are a white flag, a rainbow, and a 0. It only affects iphones with the ios 8- ios 10.2. Sometimes it will crash and you will have to restart it! It does not erase data or risk your messages. Make sure if you do this to a friend, they have a good sense of humor and know them  well so they don’t get mad at you! If your messages crashed, you can tell siri to send a text and that will work until your phone is fixed! I chose this because it seems like a good thing to do to my brother or something he would do to me. Click the link below to read more!

VW Sedric

Volkswagen has the plans for the future of driving, Sedric. Sedric stands for self-driving car. The interior is similar to a monorail, but private to you. Since Sedric is autonomous, it doesn’t need a steering wheel, pedals, or dashboard. This clears up a lot of room in the vehicle, making it more comfortable, and it can be cleaner. It has yellow seats and plants for decoration, and to purify the air. It also doesn’t need a windshield, so instead, it it has a giant OLED television. The television will tell you information about your surroundings with a Siri-like voice recognition assistant. To use and ride Sedric, all you need to do is press a button. You can have your own personal button, or you can share a Sedric with someone else. Other public Sedrics can be hailed with an app similar to Uber.
