smart phones

You're on vacation. You come across a landmark: the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State Building, the Pyramids of Giza—or the world's largest rubber-band ball. You wonder, how tall is it really? But you didn't get the audio guide. Well, whip out your phone and use the Smart Measure app, and the knowledge will be yours in just a few seconds.

Everywhere you go you see people that appear to have their cell phones physically attached to their ears and thumbs for fear that if don’t stay glued to the godforsaken thing they just might miss out on something as important as a Facebook status update or the latest social commentary in the form of a meme. If you are one of these people, the good news is, you are not alone.

So, now not only can you be a night owl, you can record what you see as well.

Technology is a great thing. It has given us endless amounts of information right at our fingertips. The more technology that comes along the easier our lives become. Technology has become our security blanket, and we’re not going to let go any time soon.
