Kids' newspaper app


Here is a smart phone app that allows you to translate adult language into children’s language. By placing your phone on top of what you want to read, it translates it and makes it more understandable for children.

There are a few problems with this app and that is that as a child myself, if I did not know something I would ask my parents, therefore we would engage in a conversation, but if you knew everything because of the app you wouldn’t talk to your parents. Also, if you keep on using the app you might not understand a newspaper without it.

Why do we split the languages into two? (Adult and children). Why can’t we have one? Or why can’t the newspaper be made for children so that everyone can understand it? Another good idea would be to make an app that translates a language into another in the same way.

Google Glasses


 
Here is something I have found interesting in a YouTube clip.  They are the Google Glasses. These glasses allow you to do everything that you can do on your smart phone, but on the glasses. Just by speaking you’re in control of ringing or texting someone. This is useful because if you lose your phone you could use the glasses.

To expand the Google Glasses their next invention could be to make Google contact lenses. So if you do not like wearing glasses you could wear them instead. If you wear glasses temporarily, do you have to take them off? Maybe that could be their next step.
 

There is only one problem with the glasses and that is that you are spending too much time looking at a screen, also that you might not pay attention to people around you. Another good idea is the Google car.
