AI Devices for Your Smart Home
Back in the 1960s, many "house of the future" attractions in parks and fairs promised people that they would be able to order pizza by just talking to their house. It seemed so foreign, most people just never believed they'd see the day it'd happen.

Budget Wireless Carrier Service
So you have a phone plan—more than likely a 2 year committed smartphone plan, which includes unlimited talking, texting, and up to 2-3 GB of data monthly, or, for an extra $50.00 a month unlimited data. You're probably spending somewhere between $76.00 (at minimum), if not, then well over $100.00. I've got news for you, you're probably spending way too much for services... At least, I found that was the case for me, having had an AT&T plan for over 6 years and getting an employee discount which knocked my bill down to at least $76.00 per month.

Kindle's Text-to-Speech (TTS)
AUDIO BOOKS Listening to audiobooks is becoming more popular than ever. What a great way to ease a long commute, combat road rage in rush hour traffic, help household chores breeze by or pass the time on a flight. Listening to books while accomplishing other tasks at the same time even boosts productivity. I'll play an audio book while I'm preparing a family meal or folding laundry. Sure helps these mundane chores feel less harrowing. My primary source for most audio books is my local library. I usually listen to them with the Blue Fire Reader application or the Overdrive Media application on my iPhone. What's even slicker is listeners can download audio books from local libraries and borrow them for up to 21 days.

Wearable Technology: The Good, The Bad, The (Literally) Ugly
If you look at almost any sci-fi film, you'll see instances in which people use wearable technology to do incredible things. Cyberpunk novels of the 80s and 90s lined the shelves, telling stories of people using their glasses to identify people and places around them.
