Technology of the Future

Technology surrounds almost everyone and everything in modern society. It affects both work and leisure and can help to make many actions easier. It allows people to communicate with each other, even when they are far away from one another. Technology is also a great way to learn, and there are many ways that technology can advance your prior knowledge, or teach you something new. Technology also helps with modern medicine and helps save many lives, every day. Technology in the future will not only be more advanced, but will help to achieve greater goals for society.
Technology is a way that people can communicate with one another and over the years, communication has gotten easier and easier. In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell invented the first telephone, and now in 2015, you can do even more. Not only can you make phone calls, but you can text, face-call, and more. If someone is in trouble, they could call for help with the click of a button. Although many argue that technology is a distraction, multi-tasking is very easy, and works many parts of the brain. In the future, as technology advances it will be easier to communicate and will be more in depth. Japanese professors and students at Tokyo University have been working to create holograms that can be altered by touch and can be felt by human senses. In the future this will helps with communication technology in how people will be able to use holograms to communicate and maybe even interact with one another. Communication technology helps remove the barrier of distance and can help keep in touch, and even save lives.
Another way technology can help is that it is a great way to help you learn. There are many websites and programs such as kahnacademy.com, that help you study and learn new things. There are also many programs that help students study for upcoming exams, quizzes, and tests. Also, many teachers have set it up so their students can access textbooks, do their homework and even take tests online, (and can also submit it) through networks like edmodo.com. Although many would say that learning and doing work online is distracting, and makes it hard to get things done, it is not the technology that is causing that issue, but the person’s own distraction problems. Many online homework, exams, and tests even have it set up so you have a timed session, and cannot leave the screen until the test is finished, to prevent the loss of focus. This can also help to prevent students cheating on online work. As technology progresses, students will be able to do work online and it can make it easier for them to get higher grades. 
As technology advances, so does modern medicine. Due to the advances in technology, many diagnosed patients have been cured of diseases, sicknesses, and more. In the near future, many scientists have been working with 3D printers to build implants, body parts, and even working organs to use for amputees, and to cure people of diseases. Also, in cancer research it is being used to create cancerous cells and observe how they grow. The 3D printer, and many other products, are amazing ways to use future technology in medicine.

Technology is a way for people to excel. It helps aid communication, medicine, and learning. It can help save lives, and can teach people new things. Future technology will help to achieve greater goals for society.

5 Free Apps for Fashionable Women

Have you been looking for apps made for people who love fashion? Do you need help finding stylish clothes or coming up with outfits that match?
I put together a list of apps to help you with all of your fashion needs.

1. Polyvore
Polyvore is an app that started out as a social network, and was made into an app. On Polyvore, you can put together outfits for any occasion, and post them to your account. Not only can you show off your fashion style, but you can also buy clothing items there too!

2. The Hunt
The Hunt is an application made for people who have found items somewhere, but can't find where it was. Whether you found it in a store, but they discontinued it, in a photo, or even on a person. You just snap a photo, post it, and it will pop up on your feed. As time goes by, people will be looking for it online, and when they find it, you're able to buy it! Not only can you find specific clothing, but you can find things that would go with it as well. Not only is there this app, but the trend has caught on to many other apps such as ASAP54, Style Eyes, and Slyce.

3. Cloth
Cloth is an application that is being called "the instagram of fashion". Cloth is an outfit where you can post your ootds (outfit of the days). But, it doesn't stop there. Cloth will track your location and weather and will show you outfits based on how the weather is, and where you are going, such as the office, or the gym

4. Style.com
Style.com is a very simple app, based off of its twin website. This application shows you up-to-date outfits that are shown in runway shows from all over the world. This app is for anyone with a love for runway fashion and intense looks.

5. Wanelo
If you've ever thought of an app where you can look at clothing, accessories, and more, and vote on them, then find more items that might suit you, Wanelo takes that idea to the next level. In this app, you can not only vote on items that you like, but you can buy them as well. This app takes Pinterest (an app/website where you can "pin" items and ideas, and stores the link for you), to a new fashion window, and can help people form their own style.
