Adidas Formotion Clothing

In the past clothing while playing sports has been leisurely and not a big deal. Look at hockey for instance, they used to have hardly any padding and the goalies had a small helmet. But now as Don Cherry describes it they have armour, which I agree on. Or golf maybe people used to play that game in full suits, not they just have pants and a T-shirt and sometimes a hat. Clothing changes over time especially in sports. That is why Adidas thought it smart to make a line of clothing for sports would enhance the players ability in the sports and make them able to play harder, faster and maybe even longer. the Adidas Formotion Clothing is this.
This new form of sports wear is built to move in the way the sport needs you to. By using various types of fabrics and having the clothing form particular shapes it can enhance your performance but also improve your comfort while playing.

These Formotion clothes come in three types, Linear which is for sports that need to go in a forward motion such as running, Lateral where the player will use upper body strength like tennis, and the Helix where the player focuses on lower body strength in sports like soccer and football. This clothing works by targeting certain body parts which enhances and gives more control to the muscles activity improving the overall form for the player, increasing the skill level at which they play.
My assumption is that this clothing will be able to change the way sports are played. Although alot of work still has to be done on it probably within a few years I could see every sports player out there wearing this clothing and being able to hit harder and swing faster. Although more things could change that as in new bats, hockey sticks, new golf clubs or new shoes. So maybe this may have a small factor in the changes but I think that it will make a difference.

Ipad 2

Electronics have been used for multiple centuries in various ways, although they weren't used for pure entertainment for several years. Until 1950 it was still all radio or telephones. The radio was partly entertainment but mainly news and alarms. when it was used for entertainment completely and the television was released, only the richest of the rich would get one until several years later. electronics continued to go down the universal path to the way it is now, the main factor that increased electronic technology was the space race which put a big push on the electronic developement in the 1960s. Though electronics were not made into a necesity till the 21st century it was still a nice thing to have. just as nowadays having a ps3 or say ipad is. The ipad is one of the handiest pieces of equipment you can have, it can show news and connect to the internet where you want it to, or maybe play some games or you could go on facebook. So when the Ipad 2 was released excitement was in the air.
Ipad 2 is now thinner, lighter and much more comfortable. It can just be to hard to put down once you have it. The Ipad 2 makes surfing the web, watching videos, checking emails, and reading books, so natural, and so easy and so natural, you may forget you have one incredible piece of technology in your finger tips. You can enjoy yourself for up to ten hours of simple bliss.

This Ipad has an A5 Chip making surfing the web, downloading apps, and loading videos faster. It also has super fast graphics making it amazing for gamers. Being smoother and more realistic is a real bonus for gamers and it makes apps just that much better. Video watcher will also enjoy this improvement because it will make the graphics just that more crisp.

As for its two cameras, one in the front and one in the back, they are a big deal. Since they were designed for FaceTime video calling they are highly efficient for actually FaceTime. If you’re not on FaceTime it still works and you can pull out the camera to film something that is worth filming.
The Ipad 2 also has an instant turn on so when you want to you can immediately start doing what your need to do, or have fun when you want to have fun. Being built with an advanced 802.11n wireless technology you can access the internet when you want to, and where you want to.
The Ipad will be able to lead us into a new portable race of electronics. It has the potential to change the way we watch television and play games and more over communicate with eachother. Adding 3D to the equation is already a quick change that they have the technology to add now. Which I'm sure their working on as I write this. All of this will add to a great product with the increase of technology and new ways to improve it being made it could be used in schools and a textbook also since it has a kindle app. Overall in the future the Ipad 2 or the next generations of it will be made into an important part of life in various forms and places.

Twin Keck Telescopes

The Twin Keck Telescopes out in Hawaii on the dormant Mauna Kea volcano are current the most powerful telescopes in the world. Being the worlds largest optical and infared telescopes they are quite renowned for the work that they are able to do. Keck I has been doing its job since 1993 and then Keck II project was initiated and finished in 1996, the NASA program has a one sixth partnership in the observatory.
Each of the twin telescopes stand at an outstanding eight stories tall and weigh a total of 300 tons. Their primary mirrors alone are ten metres in diameter and made up of thirty-six hexagonal segments that work together in concert as a single sheet of reflective glass.

The positioning of the telescopes was no coincidence either, since the Mauna Kea volcano is the only in the area and is so tall the atmosphere isn’t as thick and out in Hawaii most of the year the skies are clear, and there are few lights to light up the night on Hawaii so the telescopes can be used to the best of their abilities.
These two telescopes are equipped with the highest in advancements when it comes to space exploration, everything in them is made so that everything they look at would look as crisp and clean as it would if you were standing beside it.
Although these twins will soon go down the ranks in the world of telescopes as a thirty metres telescope is being made and is set to be finished in 2015. So until then they will keep working to find new places within our galaxy, and universe.
The Twin Keck telescopes were definitely the start of the big start of exploring the galaxy and the universe. although with continued ways to get past things like earths gravitational field, and increasing the size of it like the Thirty Metres Telescope they definitely still have a future just in new forms and placed in different areas of the world. The ginormous telescopes definitely have and will continue to make a difference in space exploration.

IPhone 4

Phones go back over a hundred years, originally made by Alexander Graham Bell (By which Bell phone services are named). Phone used to be large, clunky and unefficient to use. Then they became smaller, with a single headset, then it became more efficient and became wireless within a certain area, and then cellphones were introduced, originally flip phones the cell phone was extremely popular and worked well. But as technology increased so did the cellphone, it began to have full keyboards, and slides instead of flips, and then the touch came out as a ipod. then it was quickly formed into the iphone, which introduced the beginning of the IPhone4
The IPhone 4 is the new generation of phones, after years wanting video calling, people have finally got what they wanted, the new IPhone will give you the chance to wave to your kids, see your kids smile from across the globe, or give them that bed time story that they so badly want.

The new retina display is the sharpest, most vibrant, and highest-resolution screen out there. Having four times the usual number of pixels, gives this phone such a high pixel density that the human eye is unable to identify individual pixels. This makes text, pictures and videos as clean and crisp as you can get them. The five megapixel camera is just another one of the amazing feature so phone. With it’s built in LED flash you can take better pictures then any other phone out there. Although these are only some of its many amazing features, there’s still iBooks, iMovie, the App store, Voice Memos, Stocks and more.
The engineers of this IPhone didn’t start with scratch, but three years of experience, giving them an advantage, this IPhone 4 is situated between two glossy panels of aluminosilicate glass, the same glass used for windshields for helicopters and fast speed trains. Plus the phone is only 9.3 millimetres thick! Making the IPhone 4 the worlds thinnest smart phone.
the IPhone 4 will inevitably probably be the most popular phone until a new IPhone is made then that will take the place and so on, and as long the phones are being made and don't get ousted by a new type of technologies then they will still have a place in technology. But there life will probably be short lived considering the blue tooth headset and other improvements to communications that have been made already.

Elbit Systems Viper Portable Combat Robot

Elbit Systems Viper Portable Combat Robot is the newest member of the Elbit unmanned system family. It is used in war to go in to where men should not go, such as to unarm a bomb or do more important missions. It can do things such as provide support to infantry on operations.

Being only 9 inches tall and 25 pounds makes it highly efficient in getting into places where men cannot go. Its small form can go into enemy territory easier then men without being spotted. Only taking one person to control by a hand operated control panel and helmet mounted display, making it easy to use and you can use it on the go. It was developed under the Israel Ministry of Defense Research & Development Directorate and is currently in prototype stages.
This type of robot will probably make the difference overall in space exploration since these are already being used. Having a smaller robot could mean that it could get farther in space which could put us out into the universe. Although the problem with this is that it is unable to carry the equipment needed for space exploration. This type of robot will definitely have a large impact in space exploration like they already have, and as technology increases this robot will go farther then ever into space and maybe make the greatest discoveries ever, although that is probably still far in the future.
