Selfie Sticks Banned at Disneyland and Disney World

 
If you are headed to Disneyland or Disney World you should leave your selfie stick at home. Or at least in your hotel room. Attendees are banned from bringing them inside the theme parks. The ban is due to growing safety risk in crowded spaces and on the parks' rides.

 

The ban went into affect on June 30th at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California and Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. The new policy will be enforced starting July 1st at Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland.

 

If security discover a selfie stick on guests at the entrance, they will have the option to return it to their vehicle/hotel room or check them in at the front gate and pick up before leaving. Its not too bad, they didn't say leave your arms at home. So you can still get those selfies....LOL

Augmented Reality Yearbooks: the New Hot High School Graduating Class Trend

Written by Cenita Johnson

Have you seen the AUGMENTED REALITY yearbooks? If not, you are missing something that's freaking amazing!!

 

My cousin demonstrated her high school's yearbook augmented reality to me last week. I was amazed as she held her phone over a photo of the track team and soon I was watching a race. Then the photo of the choir started to sing an amazing chorus. Wow ...wow...wow!

 

There are several augmented reality apps on the market. More high schools are getting in on the trend for graduation. Can't wait to see where this technology will extend to next.

 

Below is a video that I found a presentation of the Jumpstreet app on YouTube demonstrating the technology.

Creepy! A Hotel Ran By Robots!

                                                                             Photo source Daily Beast via Huis Ten Bosch
Are we destined to live in a world of robots?

Will our lives become a real-life iRobot or Transformers movie?

 

Its kind of spooky but kind of cool at the same time.  You wouldn't mind having a robot do your chores: clean your bedroom, wash the dishes and do your schoolwork. Now what was initially spooky sounds kind of great, huh! Well kind of. As long as the robots don't start to attack.

 

The Henn-na Hotel, set in the middle of a theme park in Nagasaki, Japan, will become the first robot-staffed hotel when it opens this summer.  Guests will be greeted by human-like robots.  The robot will check you in, take your bags, and escort you to your room. They also speak and understand Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English. Get this, the  hotel hopes to one day rid the need for human employees.

 

I like the idea of a robot looking like a robot you know, made of metal and box-shaped. Not like a human being...eery but I'm curious to go experience this at the same time.

Smh

Teen Invents Low-Cost Printers for the Blind

         Photo source The Associated Press via Huffington Post

Thirteen-year-old Shubham Banerjee has launched a company, Braigo Labs, developing low-cost machines to print Braille for the blind. The machine would be used to print Braille reading materials on paper, using raised dots instead of ink, from a personal computer or electronic device.

 

                                  Photo source wikipedia  

Braille is a system of reading and writing by touch used by the blind. The blind read arrangements of dots which make up letters of the alphabet, numbers, and punctuation marks with the touch of the hand.

 

The California eighth-grader spent late nights building the printer on the kitchen table with a Lego Mindstorms EV3 kit. Shubham wants to sell his lightweight desktop Braille printer for around $350. The current models on the market sell for $2,000 and are over 20 pounds.  Tech giant Intel Corp. have invested in his startup company.

Ansa App Deletes Texts Messages After You Sent Them but Is It Safe To Send That Reckless Text?

Have you ever sent a text message that you regretted and wish you could erase forever? Nothing is permanent anymore not even those regretted text messages!

 

Ansa is the snapchat for text messages! The Ansa app allows you to delete sent text messages from your smartphone and from the person's phone you sent the text message to. 

 

Ansa was created by 23-year-old Natalie Bryla who designed the app so users can communicate through texts, the same way they do in person. When you don’t want a message to stay on a friend’s phone just go 'off the record.' That text message will self-destruct in 60 seconds after your friend reads it.

 

 

The Ansa app notifies the recipient that the text is 'off the record.' There's no time frame to delete, you can delete it hours, days or even months after sending it. There are various additional creative features that comes with the app. Download it for free at google play and  iTunes

 

Don't think the Ansa app gives you freedom to send reckless messages such as naked photos or threatening texts. Sixty-seconds is plenty of time for the recipient to take a photo of your texts to keep for their own records. Have fun but don't text stupid stuff. If you don't want your parents, police or friends to see it, don't send it. We're just saying...think before you text.

Teenager Electrocuted By Charging Smartphone

Do you fall asleep talking to friends on your smartphone?

Do you leave your smartphone charging next to you on the bed?

You might not want to do that anymore!

This story is sad and something I never thought was possible. A teenager from Xinjiang, China died by electrocution from her charging iPhone.  The eighteen year old's lifeless body was discovered by her older sister. The sister smelled something burning. When she went into the bedroom she noticed the shattered glass on the iPhone 4 next to her sister's body. The Forensci Science Association of China concluded that the teen died from electrocution.

 

Recently, a thirteen-year-old girl from Texas, Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone caught fire when it slipped underneath her pillow.  Fortunately, she was not injured only her pillow burned.

           Have you had any smartphone mishaps?
