This innovation promises to deliver bigger and powerful batteries that can now revolutionize the world. The researchers out of Tokyo have been working on this for the sake of all the batteries we are using for autonomous driving vehicles. These rechargeable sodium-ion units will be protected from this product and that can be easily installed while adding the ability to not allow these batteries ever to overheat and explode.https://newsstand.google.com/articles/CAIiEBsPcrUHCXIEkeCl29BSWB0qFwgEKg8IACoHCAownP3cAjDQkhww_oMoRemember the days when you used to have to type on a physical keyboard and the buttons would push in.

The U.S. Patent & Trademark Office recently published an Apple patent application for “an electronic device [that] may have a flexible portion that allows [it] to be folded.” The patent was filed in September 2016, shortly before the company was granted a patent for a similar foldable product.https://newsstand.google.com/articles/CAIiEP5AHE6-BLPamyK2GgPx0zEqGQgEKhAIACoHCAowocv1CjCSptoCMPrWrwUHuawei just unveiled a new smartphone called the Honor V10, and it also announced that it is working on its own version of Apple’s Face ID technology Huawei claims that its new facial recognition technology is better than Apple’s and it can also be used for animated emojis.https://newsstand.google.com/articles/CAIiEBxlA65vMXGqSLDhmHIWqvwqFwgEKg4IACoGCAow9891MIGZDDDYhrIFGoogle can tell if someone is looking at your phone over your shoulder.https://newsstand.google.com/articles/CAIiEF_ojIlaFP-KO-An-WbfbNsqGAgEKg8IACoHCAowi4-MATDXsRUwhP2ZAgWhat would Canada be like if it ditched net neutrality? We know that the U.S. is right now in the middle of a debate of having net neutrality reinstated. Here’s of what’s happened in Portugal. One of their main wireless carriers Meo, offers a package that users pay for traditional data and on top of that will pay for an additional package, is based on what data and apps that use. As an example, if they really like messaging for $5.86 a month they’ll get more data for use on Skype and FaceTime. If they want to use social media like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat that’ll be another $8 a month. Video apps like Netflix and YouTube are also available as an add-on and email and cloud-based services are also an add-on this is what we can expect if net neutrality in the US and in Canada is to come together. If we thought that it was expensive before this will really alter the cost.https://newsstand.google.com/articles/CAIiEKMQGNlWoJuaKZgQiaw4gOQqFggEKg4IACoGCAowzdp7ML-3CTDdyhUWe’ve talked about the Apple watch with the capability of having a health feature to monitor your heartbeat and possibility of a stroke. Apple itself is actually going to be investing heavily on creating the Apple watch with the Stanford University of Medicine, to have it create the device with a heart rate monitor to ensure that in the case someone’s having a stroke they will be notified. What makes this story unique is the fact that Apple is working alongside the medical community and even investing in it proving that Apple is committed to Health and Fitness.https://newsstand.google.com/articles/CAIiEDwBPTMEVpUxk6w2cyUEDS8qFggEKg4IACoGCAow6bV4MPfJDDD2skcAs we keep seeing these new gadgets coming out for Christmas, I thought it would be interesting to put the top three most expensive gadgets in the past that are now absolutely worthless.LaserDisc. It had a lot of potential and complete control over playback and jumping to a specific time. Unfortunately, it had a lot of disadvantages. The disc was heavy, huge and could break and highly limited capacity the first LaserDisc players were up to $1,000 and a release was anywhere between $35 to $100 by 1998 it had reached its prime and its demise.PDA. Standing for Personal Digital Assistant which were used primarily to hold your contact information in calendar allowing you to organize your life a little better using an electronic device. The first PDA was a 1984 organizer Nokia came out with a product shortly after that and I remember my first PDA being NEO GEO AES Casio.The VCR and video cassettes. It’s hard to believe that Betamax and VHS were essential gadgets for Home Entertainment in 1977 fitstar cost $1,280 or around $4,600 in today’s cost blank video cassettes would cost $20 in 1970 or around $70 today3D TV it was considered to be the next big thing and without 3D glasses, the cost of the set skyrocketed an example of one of the best 3D TVs was a TCL which cost $20,000. 3D content also was a challenge.https://knowtechie.com/5-gadgets-that-went-from-unaffordable-to-worthless/
