Motion Sensors are EVERYWHERE!!!


I can't believe it, I haven't had hardly any technology problems for awhile now! I am happy about it! But... I saw this short show on how everything in this bathroom was done by a sensor. The sink, and towels are normal to be on a sensor these days, but the doors were sensor, the soap, the flush, the lights, and the trash can! it was crazy to watch all of these things work off a sensor! I was so impressed with the direction that technology is going. This is the most hygienic restroom I have ever seen! I wish I could use this kind of a restroom! I would feel so clean! haha its an impressive step that the society is taking.

That website talks about different kinds of sensors and how they help save electricity as well. Motion Sensors are very environmentally friends to.
The picture is of a motion picture sink. It is amazing turning everything in to a motion sensor!

Geocaching


Okay so today we did geocaching, it was kinda fun. Seemed pretty simple. It took us a few minutes to figure out the device and once we did that we were at our clue in about 5 minutes. Our group used cameras, iflip and walkie talkies. However the walkie talkies lost range but it was still fun to jump back into the era when I was 10 years old! We were pretty excited when we found our clue, but we also found out the answer to our clue. I was so proud of us! haha

Cell Phones and Bags of Rice


For once I had a bad experience that turned out okay!

There was a glass of water on my bedside table and of course I spilled the WHOLE thing on my cell phone and my boyfriends phone. My phone was fine... his phone... only button that worked was the end call/on/off button.... I felt awful!!!

So we did some research online after we continued to dry it off over and over! Then we found the bag of uncooked rice with the cell phone in it will pull out all the water from the phone... I was a little ify to stick his phone in a bag a rice, (which lucky me, I had rice!)

But the next morning the phone worked fine! No problems and no worries! I'm not sure if it was the praying or the bag of rice but either way for once I LOVE TECHNOLOGY!!

THANK YOU RICE BAG!!!
