Leave a comment

It is no doubt that technology has taken over most aspects of our lives, and it is only bound to take up all aspects in the coming future. This holds true with proposals like IoT, which has already begun! Our sex lives is no different, with dating sites accounting for most “hookups”, and “smart” sex apparatus, touting themselves as helping us pleasure ourselves more.

Natural Cycles, as it is rightly called, wants to help you know when you are ovulating, so it help avoid conceiving or improve the chances of an offspring! This app is for the ladies, and it is to do with your monthly cycles. As long as you don’t mind measuring your temperature before getting out of bed each morning, Natural Cycles claims to give accurate results. In fact Germany’s Department of Health thinks it is so accurate that the app is now classified as a contraceptive. The first app of its kind!

The app costs £6.99 a month, plus you need to buy a thermometer  to measure your temperature every morning. If you want to know more about the science behind it, please click here.

Great ideas begat great innovation and we say this one is a great innovation! Kudos to its inventors and brains behind it.

Meet the Amazon Echo!

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been the subject of science fiction since its early days and with each second we are getting closer to something that can mimic AI. Thanks to the hard work and collection of internet information, we have been putting AI to use in systems such Siri, Cortana and Google Now.

Amazon Echo is another personal assistant like the ones we find on our smart phones. However, the Echo comes with a difference, it sits in a speaker and has its own phone App that gives you continuity if you are out of proximity of the Echo. Of course it is voice activated and can organise your diary, play music, tell you the weather and like the other PA systems answer your questions!

Amazon says “Echo has been fine-tuned to deliver crisp vocals with dynamic bass response. Its dual downward-firing speakers produce 360° omni-directional audio to fill the room with immersive sound. Echo provides hands-free voice control for Amazon Music, Prime Music, iHeartRadio, and TuneIn. Plus, Echo is Bluetooth-enabled so you can stream other popular music services like Spotify, iTunes, and Pandora from your phone or tablet.”

If you are ready to shell $199 on this, it will serve as a good speaker and personal assistant to have in the home. The only thing left to say is Alexa!

Must Have Handy Apps On Everyone’s Phone

Leave a comment

Thank goodness for the smart phones as they have changed the way we do things on the move. There are thousands of apps that can be downloaded on your mobile devices and they all promise to do something useful. Depending on what you are trying to achieve with your phone, you can about download apps to do them for you. As a tech lover, I have tried many apps and sometimes been gobsmacked and other times disappointed. And apps do give your phone a new feature each time. Asides the games and numerous promising apps, I think there are some apps your phone must have. These types of apps I have chosen as must haves. Enjoy

Flashlight;

Yes, for me this has to be one of the most useful app categories on any mobile. This app turns your phone into a flashlight using the flash next to your camera. So when you are looking for something under the chair, or simply walking a dark path, you can trust your phone to shine a light!

Shazam;

This is more for music lovers. Ever been out and about and you hear a song play and you just wished you knew the title so you can go buy it. Well Shazam does that for you, as long as you have got internet connection you can ask it to listen to a piece of music and it can tell you the artist, song title and album

Fitness App;

As more and more people want to get fit anyway they can. There are apps that turn your phone into a fitness trainer or tracker. They can tell you how much you walked, slept, or ran on your morning jogging. Some do come with additional hardware you have to wear on your wrist so please check to make sure.

And lastly any chatting app. This is a way to keep in touch with friends and family. The chances you already have one on your phone now. If you don’t, make sure you get one most of your friends and families have so you can chat with them and share moments for free.
