Beats... Overrated?

 Beats by Dre are arguably bad headphones. Many say that Beats are pretty crummy for their high price and are not worth the money.  This accusation is indeed true.
The truth is that they are not the best headphones by any means but they have their place in the market since they were owned and created by Dr. Dre, a famous rapper, and now owned by Apple. They don't have outstanding durability or even good durability.Their sound quality is  not the best and could definetly use some improvements.Their price? Don't even think about beats if you're on a budget. Beat solo 2 wireless (shown in the first picture) are $225 on Amazon. The Beats Studio's are $250 on Amazon. They are not worth that kind of money. They should sit around the $110 and $150 depending on the model. If you want the best of the best headphones, look at Bose and Sennheiser. They range anywhere from $80-$1,000. There are some for less but anything under 150 without the sales Amazon has are probably not the best choice unless you have a very tight budget. Beats are good headphones for kids and teens that are not looking for $1,000 giants to where to school. If you have enough money and are looking for stylish, chill headphones, beats are the way to go. If you are looking for something cheaper or more serious, Beats are definitely not a good choice.

The Fitbit

You've most likely heard by now about the Fitbit--you may have seen people wear one, or you may even own one. The Fitbit's purpose is to track your activity or inactivity and to help you reach goals concerning fitness and physical health. It's a device worn on the wrist that is not as bulky as a watch, and it has features such as a pedometer, heart rate, calorie and sleep tracker.  There some other cool features throughout the different models like a GPS, a distance tracker which isn't always accurate but gives a close estimate, a caller notification (which vibrates your Fitbit when someone is attempting to call you), and the time that you have been active. The Fitbit syncs the information into an app which you can view at any time as long as you have your smartphone. With the Fitbit app, you may view all of these statistics and set goals for yourself. For example, if you want to reach 10,000 steps by the end of the day, you may set the goal, and you will receive a notification saying that you reached your goal. With Fitbit, you can track your physical activity, and help yourself get fit.

iPhone is the key!

With this smart lock made by August, you only need to remember your phone. No key. Most people don't forget their phone considering its your game console on the train for most people and helps to communicate with friends, family and people you work with. Forgetting keys is a whole other story. It happens all the time. If you are in an apartment, you end up buzzing each and every apartment to get in. It disturbs the people that live their and is usually flat out embarrassing. With this lock, after installation you hook it up to your phone via bluetooth. You simply tap on the green button (as seen in the picture) to lock the door. When locked the button turns red. That tap again to unlock the lock. You can give others access as well. Your hole family can have a connection to the lock. If you are going away for the weekend and a friend is staying at your place, you can share the lock by having them download the app and connect to your lock. You can set it so they only have access for a limited amount of time. If you never forget your keys, this purchase may seem pointless. It is $199 which isn't too bad considering the fact that it's new technology, but it is a lot more expensive than a lock you need a key for. If you tend to lose or forget your keys, this could be a great purchase.

Electric Skateboard

This is a bluetooth remote-controlled and battery powered skateboard by Boosted.This skateboard/longboard uses 8 times the amount of power (in WATTS) than an average household desktop computer. The average home desktop runs with 65-250 WATTS and most custom built computers run at about 500 WATTS. Staying at the average 250 WATT computer, this skateboard uses 8 times the amount of WATTS. It uses 2000 WATTS to run. It has a maximum speed of 22 miles per hour. It works with a remote control that you can hold to make it go. If you can't deal with the chance of going that fast set it to an easier mode making the maximum speed just 10 miles per hour. If you are looking for a quick, easy, and fun ride to work or school, this board may just be for you. Some serious skaters could interpret this poorly because it takes the point of skateboarding away but it isn't for tricks. It is a quick and easy way to get around town such as Skywalkers, which you may have been seeing around recently. This board is one of the first remote control skateboards but I'm sure we'll be seeing more.

16 Lenses, One Camera?

You can make a larger picture that captures more of your scene and you can edit each lens picture and weld them together. For photographers this is a great buy. It obviously doesn't use film so it isn't worth the money if you use film. Speaking of money, if you are looking to purchase this camera you would be dropping a pretty penny on it! It sits at around $1,700 as of now. The camera has so many lenses so that you can get different zooms of one picture and you don't need to pay for all those extra lenses of different shapes and sizes. The camera has 35mm, 70mm, and 150mm lenses. If you are willing to burn $1,700 dollars on this amazing camera, you should have an interesting experience.

Amazon Drones!

      Amazon is now sending drones to deliver packages and these new drones have some pretty cool attributes; the drones are streamlined, have a 15 mile cruising range, a maximum elevation of 400 feet and Amazon is planning to make lots of them!

      The drones can get your package to you within 30 minutes. Each drone weighs about 55 pounds, and they are designed to carry packages 10 -15 miles that weigh about five pounds or less and a study found that almost all amazon products are under five pounds

      Amazon is designing its own drones and attempting to be able to send drones to all types of homes whether they are in a rural area or in skyscrapers.

 They will come right to you and along with a navigation system that scans the air and ground for dangers and potential landing spots. 

Sneak Peek of Apple's iPhone 7

      Rumors are flying as Apple leaked out that the iPhone 7 won't have a headphone jack / AUX jack, so it's time to break out the bluetooth headphones. It is possible that they are trying to waterproof the phone if they end up using the bluetooth charger that the Samsung Galaxy 6s has, thus eliminating all holes.

      The photo on the left shows an image leaked by someone in the manufacturing plant that shows lots of evidence of how the iPhone 7 is changing from its counterpart: the 6. It was also leaked that the iPhone 7 may be using a smart connecter and a dual camera module

      It is being said that the next iPhone will feature two sensors at the top of the device, though their purpose isn't yet known. 

      Though much is changing, it will be staying the same size, and it's likely to start at the same $649 starting price, much like the iPhone 6s.

      It's possible that Apple could bring its True Tone display technology from the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, which similarly uses a pair of sensors to automatically adjust colors depending on ambient light.fvind further infor
