Latest Software This 2012

January 25, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Every year, the Consumer Electronics Show, or CES, takes place, corralling more than 145,000 industry professionals who take part in the unveiling of gadgets and software that will shape the future of technology. This massive trade show has been the launching pad for major products for years: the Blu-Ray disc was first promoted at 2004’s CES, and 3net, a 3D TV channel, was introduced in 2011. Even though it’s billed as The Consumer Electronics Show, it’s a trade-only exhibition, which means all the consumers will have to get a peek into their tech future from their homes.

It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Tech World

From Monster headphones to impossibly thin LCD screens, the CES is a playground for some pretty impressive mechanical toys. Take a look at some of the highlights that may grace your living room in the near future:

  • The Samsung Transfix by Cricket is a new addition to the world of Android phones. With its slide out QWERTY keyboard, attractive price point and lack of required contract, it is sure to garner more than a little interest.
  • LG unveiled its jaw-droppingly thin, bezel-free, LED Cinema Screens. At 5mm, this edge-lit beauty will take your home viewing experience from outstanding to out of this world in style.
  • Audio giant Monster introduced its foray into headphones with Inspiration—some seriously stylish (and pricey) over the ear, noise-canceling headphones.
  • Toshiba will make many a big-wallet North American households happy when its glasses-free 3D television goes on sale in early 2012. This product is already astounding consumers in Germany and Japan.

…And That Means Software, Too

Snazzy new phones and super skinny screens are great, but 2012 will be an exciting year for software, too. Apps will continue to grow in popularity this year, but their breadth will expand. Check out some of software’s shining moments from the CES:

  • Cloud computing hit its stride, and that means the way you organize, plan and network could get very interesting. Cloud computing blurs device lines by storing data on applications. Phones and computers? They’re the same thing now, aren’t they?
  • Turning on your car with your phone? That’s the future of software. Companies are thinking of ingenious and creative ways to combine software with their products, from home security to home audio—all controlled by your Android.
  • Siri, Apple’s intelligent voice command personal assistant took off in 2011, and 2012 will showcase new forays into the world of voice command and AI. It may take some getting used to, but a little device that obeys your every spoken command is too genie-esque to pass up.

The Danger of Technology Addiction

February 7, 2011 By Leave a Comment

People tend to put the definition of addiction into a box. They seem to think that addiction must fit a certain stereotype and involve specific elements in order for it to valid, often thinking that addiction must involve a substance or be something that is considered taboo.

However, there are some addictions that don’t fit the mold, and the behavior associated with them is acceptable in society. One such addiction is technology addiction, which comprises all addictions associated with technology. In our present day world of computers, software that can do anything and everything, gadgets galore, and the prevalence of the internet, it’s entirely possible for a person to develop an addiction to technology. In fact, people who can’t bear to be away from their cell phones (you know who they are) or can’t possibly go a day without spending time on their computers (which could be just about everyone!), could have an addiction to technology.

Some people with a technology addiction may require the same immediate and intensive therapy that someone suffering from a drug addiction would receive. It’s important that these people get help before it leads down a dangerous road. While the technology itself may not be entirely harmful, the places it leads to online might create a further addiction. For instance, the internet is crawling with new online gambling sites, and a person who is online for as many hours as a technology addict is might stumble upon one and get caught in a dangerous trap, becoming a gambling addict.

For people suffering from any kind of addiction, it’s important to consult online resources for help, such as Rehab-International.org. Through a website like this one, you can find a facility that caters your needs and can help you overcome whatever addiction you are struggling with, before it’s too late.
