With advances in technology, the storage options are becoming more robust and also have a lot more capacity. Previously, travelers could only store a few photos on the memory cards they were taking with them. And now we can store thousands of images and also movies and shows on a very compact device.
A lot of these memories are also being stored virtually in such places as clouds, however, to upload your data or to download it, you would need an internet connection and hopefully a secure one. This can be harder to come by when you are traveling.
Kindle Paperwhite – Now Waterproof with 2x the Storage
Amazon just announced their newest Kindle, the upgraded Paperwhite. It has even better features for travel and bringing your reading entertainment in one compact and lighter device.
A four-seat hybrid car that turns into a flying car. Can park in your garage, take it out and take off for work. It does not need a runway as it is capable of vertical lift off. Per the concept creators, the production of such a vehicle is about 10 years away. Though based on some recent technology and products in the air force, it could potentially be a reality around that time. http://www.terrafugia.com/tf-x
I just picked up this gadget. And this time around we are using at our home. It is very convenient as it only takes up one plug (bottom one) and it gives you ability to directly plug in USB cable into the wall without any adapters. So it turns one socket into 5 useful ones. You can have your laptop plugged in, connect any other chargers, and be able to charge your phone or media player at the same time from the same outlet.
My wife really likes this gadget. She has been dreaming of an outlet with USB plugs built in since we started looking to get a new place. While we were not able to have the built in directly in the wall, this is the next best thing. It fits flat against the wall as its depth is only about 1 inch (not counting the plug). This charging station is small enough to take out of the wall at home and pop it into your travel bag.
Why good to have on a trip And/Or at home:
- Easily charge devices with USB based chargers
- expands one socket into 5
- compact
- easy to install and operate
