It’s no secret that a lot of us these days practically live on our computers and smartphones — but what exactly do we do with them?
According to this infographic created by Online Schools, the answer is “practically everything.”
Have you ever thought, “I wish I could know what it felt like to get shot or stabbed, but without the risk of death or permanent injury?” Well, a Japanese research group may have figured out a wearable way to simulate the feeling without all the actual shooting or stabbing.
These iPhone cases, made to look like the side of a human face, make it appear as if a person isn’t really talking on the telephone. They’re just, you know, hanging out with their hand up to their face doing who knows what. Kind of quirky.
This just proves that you are never too old to learn how to use a computer. But ensure that you read the manual over and over again or better yet ask for help!
Although most scientists believe the electromagnetic radiation emitted by technology such as Wi-Fi and cell phones is largely harmless, a small group of people nevertheless believe they suffer from a malady called Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity, or EHS.
The five percent of Americans who think they have EHS allegedly experience such symptoms as chest pains, headaches, and hearing loss. Some of them are so convinced of the evils of electromagnetic radiation that they’ve packed up and moved to a 13,000-square-mile area of West Virginia that has no wireless technology.

We’re all guilty of hitting the snooze button and sleeping a little bit longer in the morning. But with this alarm clock, if you don’t wake up on time to defuse it, you’re in for an explosive surprise.
As we’re all sadly aware, Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple and the creator of iconic products like the iPhone, has been valiantly fighting cancer for years — and given his recent resignation as CEO of the company, he doesn’t appear to be winning.
YouTubers Pantless Knights have put together a terrific tribute song, and the accompanying video features various people — and one Muppet — in Jobs’ trademark black turtlenecks and round glasses lip-syncing a rap about the legendary tech genius.
These days cars come with some pretty sophisticated add-ons: rearview cameras that show what’s behind you, driver alert systems that wake you if you’re dozing off. These optional features are all well and good, but none of them hold a candle to the Honda Motocompo, a tiny, folding scooter that was sold as a trunk-sized accessory for the Honda City and the Honda Today from 1981 to 1983.
