Technological Revolution




We, are on the verge of the technological revolution. Sure, in the past we got the printing press. Big deal. Then we get the car. Fantastic. Then we get ice that is cheap. Big whoopee doo. We get the tellyphone. Then we get the washing machine, the dryer, the refrigerator. Yay. Then we get calculators and TV's. Then Computers that were big as our houses, then desktop computers, then laptops, then Palm Pilots, then Blackberries, Cellphones, pagers, ipods, ect. BorRING. Then, at LAST, we get some true technological revolution. Let me introduce it to you. You may find it common, but at LAST someone with brains come up with items so fantastic, I want to cry!

First, is the The CALOY™ Flood Detector. Working on the principle that flood water has conductivity, The CALOY™ Flood Detector is one gadget every person should have and own! The operation of the aparatus is simple. It beeps the moment water reaches it.

Second, the Person Positioning System (PPS). Inspired by the internationally popular Global Positioning System (GPS), the Person Positioning System (PPS) is a device that tells a person his or her orientation.

Third,The SegwayStarting the parade of lameness is the Segway. It's a motorized scooter invented by a real, live mad scientist - Dean Kamen. It lets you go across dirt, up hills, through doors, forwards, backwards, left and right. Hey... wait a minute, can't my legs do that? And your legs cost less than a Gamecube, Ps2, XBox and Dreamcast combined. The Segway costs almost $3,000. Forget it

Fourth, the Lipsense Long Lasting Liquid Color. This stuff should be called Lips-no-sense. This stuff burns when you put it on and won't come off without special chemicals, double ugh! On the other hand, if you ever want a day off school, tell them you're using this stuff.

Fifth, Nike Shox XTHave you seen these new shoes from Nike? They're the ones with the springs in your heel that'll send you flying through the air with the greatest of ease? Ok, I have a question for you - who jumps from their heels? Anyone? I didn't think so, if you're going for airtime you launch from your toes, not your heels.


My point of this article is this: People out there are inventing many wonderful and exciting things to make our American lives "easier" or, try, more "exciting"? Isn't it about time that we take all those brilliant, inventive minds, put them together, and try to make life "better" for those who are in need in third world countries? Seriously, we've got to stop inventing useless things, or things we don't truly need, and strive to give technology and funding to causes that will help the world to be a better place.

True Dat! True, dat! You and I shall travel to many third-world countries someday, and we will help as many people as possible. We'll help to provide their physical, mental, and spiritual needs. What do you say?
