Are you tired of the mess of tangled wires from connecting different chargers to the same power outlet? Now you can wirelessly charge compatible devices simply by placing them on a wireless charging accessory. With a single connection to the outlet, you can keep the area free of tangled power cords. Wireless Charging provides a convenient and safe means to reliably charge and power millions of Consumer Electronic and Industrial devices. By eliminating the use of a physical connector or cable, wireless charging provides a number of advantages including, efficiency, cost and safety. From smartphones and small electronic devices to mission critical equipment, wireless charging maintains safe, reliable transfer of power to ensure all forms of device and equipment are always charged and ready to go. Wireless Charging is essentially the transmission of an electrical current from a power source to a receiving device without the use of a physical connection.  The electrical current is then used to charge or re-charge the battery of the receiving device. In this circumstance the receiving device can be anything from a smartphone or wearable, to a large industrial forklift. Whatever the application, the removal of the physical connection delivers a number of benefits over traditional cable connectors, some of which aren’t always obvious.  The video below highlights just some of the benefits and advantages of wireless charging and offers an insight into a world where wireless power is widely integrated into the home, office and our everyday lives. Wireless Charging is based on the principle of Wireless Power or Magnetic Resonance – the process whereby electricity is transferred between two objects through coils.
I think that I wireless charging will be a good thing because you wont have to carry around all the cords. You wont have to worry about getting shocked. You wont have to worry about all the money to get new cords. Also you don’t need to worry about all of the tangled cords. Who ever invented wireless charging must be a millionaire. I think that if I invented it I would be rich too. I really is a good idea because, you don’t have to worry about your phone dying when you need the full battery dying. It’s happened to everyone. You reach the restaurant, bus stop, hotel or airport gate just as your phone battery is on its last leg. Panic sets in. We call that feeling battery anxiety. That is why we need better or longer battery life or wireless charging. It would be very safe because you don’t have all of those cords that can shock you. You kids could use it if their phone died. It would also be good to use if you were at work an in a meeting and your phone died, you could just set it on the block to charge it with and then it would start charging. If it died while you were at the library and did not have your charger you could do it then. If you are a teacher and forgot your charger then you could do it a school.

Diabetes self-care is a pain—literally. It brings the constant need to draw blood for glucose testing, the need for daily insulin shots and the heightened risk of infection from all that poking. Continuous glucose monitors and insulin pumps are today's best options for automating most of the complicated daily process of blood sugar management – but they don't completely remove the need for skin pricks and shots. But there's new skin in this game (Philadelphia, PA) is developing technologies that would replace the poke with a patch. The company is working on a transdermal biosensor that reads blood analytes through the skin without drawing blood. The technology involves a handheld electric-toothbrush-like device that removes just enough top-layer skin cells to put the patient's blood chemistry within signal range of a patch-borne biosensor. The sensor collects one reading per minute and sends the data wirelessly to a remote monitor, triggering audible alarms when levels go out of the patient's optimal range and tracking glucose levels over time. 

I think that it might help because you wont have to draw blood so you don’t have to worry about all the blood and pain. When you have to prick yourself it hurts. They clean up will be easy because you don’t have to clean up blood.  It is just a sensor so you don’t have to worry about buying all those needles. It is a stick on thing. Then you use this thing that cleans off dead skin cells. Then you put the sensor on the sticky thing. Then you put their glucose level to calibrate the system. You will have to take it off when the sticky comes off.

Lucky Bass
Lucky bass is where you take the rub rail out of a boat and send the manufacture an email where you tell the size and length of the boat, model, and how thick the rub rail is. My dad is the one who runs it and sometimes I will help him install them. Lucky Bass offers unique and functional options to outfit your bass, sport, and pleasure boat.  We specialize in custom LED lighting for bass boats.  Onsite, personal one on one custom installation.  We go to the boat, saving customers time and money from having to bring their boat to us. I will be talking about the NightfFshion Extreme pack. That is were you get a NightFishon replacement rub rain with integrate LED lights, 2 LED 24 cm Docking Lights on each side of the bow, 2 LED 24 cm Moon Glow lights at the center of each side, 8 LED 24 cm UV Black Lights (4 per side) spaced evenly from bow to stern, (bow is the front of the boat, stern is the back of the boat, port is the left side of the boat, and starboard is the right side of the boat). You also get a Fuse and fuse holder, 3 Illuminated red rocker switches or a toggle switch, a NightFishon premium decal (if you want one), and Installation and Warranty Information. We will come to you for the installation, to save you money. You can install them your self, but if you mess it up them it might cost you more that you paid for the kit. We can do any boat with a rub rail. You can put the switches anywhere but you would really want to put them put at the bow of the boat. So when you are fishing it will be an east access. They help you when you are fishing because they give you light when is dark at night. Its gives you light so you won’t through into the bank, so you can see rocks, so you can see the fish. So you can see to put the bait on the hook. So you can see to get the fish off the hook. You might want them and you might not want them. If you don’t want them you can use a stick on black light.

The SHIELD wireless controller uses a custom Wi-Fi Direct solution that offers incredibly LOW latency and superior performance compared to standard Bluetooth controllers. With support for up to four controllers and a ton of serious gaming per charge, the SHIELD wireless controller delivers all the gameplay you can handle.
SHIELD wireless controller brings voice commands and search to your game controller. Use the integrated microphone to search without typing, ask questions and get answers, open apps, and play songs and movies.

It would be cool to have this because you can take it anywhere. It is big so it would take up space so people might not want it.
HIGH-FIDELITY NGINEERED TO IMMERSE YOU
SHIELD takes mobile sound farther with a unique bass-reflex, tuned-port system designed for enthusiasts who crave high-fidelity audio when playing games, movies, and music. A vibrant 5-inch LCD TABLET display makes text, colors, and images look sharp at every angle in all your favorite apps, games, and movies.
NVIDIA GAMESTREAM™
NVIDIA Game Stream lets you stream games from your GeForce GTX–based PC or GRID cloud Beta and play them on SHIELD's integrated console–grade controller with ultra–LOW latency.  

GAMEPAD MAPPER
Gamepad mapper allows you to add gamepad support to native touch Android games, so you can play thousands of games using SHIELD console-grade controller. Use NVIDIA's default game profiles, or create your own!
 I think that an old person could use that because it is easy to use, from what I have heard. I would want it because I would love to play minecraft on it. I would not like the size of it because it is really big. You would have to use two hands to hold it, it would take up a lot of batteries or electricity. It might be too bright or too heavy.

Upcoming in Military Technology

Researchers at the University of Minnesota today revealed a drone that can be controlled merely by thought, and that's not even the coolest thing about it. Published in the Journal of Neuro Engineering, the project has implications in everything from unmanned vehicles to paraplegic mobility.The setup here is pretty basic, futuristic though it seems. The drone is a commercially available four-blade helicopter--the Parrot AR quadrotor--which is basically a drone hobbyist's Model T. To control it, the "pilot" wears a funny hat, the sensing end of an electroencephalogram (EEG). EEGs place an array of electrodes over a person's head, in a totally non-invasive way, then pick up on electrical activity in the brain. Clusters of activity, like thinking about making a fist with a right hand, generates a spark in a specific area of the brain. That spark gets translated through a computer into a quadrotor command ("turn right"). The command is then beamed to the quadrotor via WiFi.I think that we should have mind controlled drones because it would be awesome too scare someone. University researchers in Texas say they are designing a new type of drone – one that could be controlled simply and only with a soldier’s mind.If successful, the project would allow soldiers to command future drones in ways beyond simple navigational commands. While troops would be able to order a drone to “move left” and “move right,” it would potentially enable them to command the vehicles to travel over specific geographic installations and send critical data back to their operators.According to My San Antonio, the project is currently underway at the University of Texas at San Antonio, where graduate students recently demonstrated a hovering drone operated via a cell phone app while one researcher sat – his head covered in sensors – and focused intently on the unnamed aerial vehicles’ activity.While the goal of controlling vehicles by way of the mind is still ways off, the hope is that by studying the brain signals and magnetic waves captured from graduate student Mauricio Merino, the researchers will be able link the activity to specific commands that can eventually be received by an advanced drone.
