Holograms On Your Smartphone Are Just Around the Corner

    Holograms On Your Smartphone Are Just Around the Corner

     Are you tired of picking up your heavy smartphone? Annoyed of having to press “ignore” when a friend calls you in the middle of the night? Soon, you may not have to physically pick up your smart device. Hologram technology is currently in the research and development stages at several smartphone makers to bring a new futuristic gadget to our lives. Looks like those Star Wars holograms aren’t as far off as we may think.

     Currently, phones do have the ability to project 3D images, but only if the user is wearing certain types of glasses. This two item necessity can be bulky to a user and inconvenient to lug around. Losing or breaking the glasses is a real possibility that someone spending a few hundred dollars wont be happy about. Hologram technology will remove the cumbersome combination of a smartphone and a pair of glasses allowing the user to see 3D images in real time. Holograms are reality as you will be able to interact with them, not augmented reality like the current 3D systems.

     Additionally, with current 3D systems or virtual reality, the user must immerse themselves in a different environment. Hologram technology will bring the action to your environment, allowing you to bring to life a person halfway around the globe in your own room. Not only will you be able to bring another user into your environment, but they will be a full 360 degree image, not just the 2D of the past.



     Other than using holograms to “hologram time” (nice play on Face time, I know) friends and family, users will be able to interact with apps on their phone just as they currently do. Being able to set your alarm or hit “ignore” on a phone call without touching a physical screen will entice many buyers to this new market. But will this have an effect on the way we live and do business? You bet.

     Hologram technology could remove the traveling for salesman or executives from a business, resulting in less travel expense and potential higher salaries for workers. Not only could hologram technology directly effect how we do business, but also how advertisement is conducted. Imagine hearing a popcorn commercial on your Pandora station. Now imagine that same commercial popping out at you, giving you the ability to see the kernels POP in your face. Will holograms make us hungry? It looks like we will soon find out.

Celebrity Fit Tea

      Fit Tea is a detoxifying organic green tea which is used to elevate your energy levels, and make you strive away from drinking things that wouldn't benefit you like this product. It is mainly used as a skinning detoxifying remedy that is supposed to support your immune system and designed to cleanse your body. I constantly see it endorsed by celebrities online that are young, fit, and good looking. It is constantly being shared by mainly woman such as Kylie, Victoria, the newest addition to the group the "cash me outside' girl. They are trying to impose a message saying that hey, take a quick second to look at me and see that if you drink this you will turn out to be as bright and beautiful as me. It personally hasn't reached a convincing point to me and personally go out and buy the product. It's sad to know that these people probably don't even use the products they are endorsed by and are just telling other young people to go out and spend mon...

Hey Kids! Here's the Code For Your Allowance!

Image
     We've all had those days. You know, those days when you are running around trying to get it all done and running into one problem after the other. Well, that's the kind of day I had today. After making lunches, getting kids off to school, working a full day, and making it just in time to my son's volleyball game across town, I decided to stop at the grocery store to grab something to make for dinner. Between acting as mediator to my bickering kids on what type of cereal we should get and trying to intercept the candy and cookies being tossed into the cart, I was ready to check out and go home. As I set all the items onto the conveyor belt and move to the cashier, I am stopped in my tracks. I forgot my purse. With no cash and no credit cards, how will I pay? I had no choice but to abandon my cart and serve macaroni and cheese for dinner. I'll be honest, the kids were thrilled.      One thing that I recently learned about that w...
