The ninja remote is our second gadget that will help to make you even lazier than you were before. In the past, you would need to get up off the couch and change the channel on your television manually. Then, technology improved and you would need to change the channel with a remote control device. Now, we give you the opportunity to not only change your own channels but those of your neighbours as well. Let’s be honest; some people have poor taste in television programming. This remote control will allow you to change any channel from a nearby television within a 400 ft. area. In addition, you can change the volume of their television if you have an annoying neighbour who likes to crank up the volume while they’re watching their favorite movie. Furthermore, There is also a ‘Bomb Button’ that causes the television to change channels and volume at random for five to fifteen minutes. If the bomb button doesn’t suit your needs, we recommend the ‘Jam Button’ which will cause any nearby remotes to stop working. It’s one thing to mess with your own channels but it’s an even lazier thing to mess with everybody else’s channels without even having to lift your own butt off the couch. This great prank device has been graced as our second gadget of the future.

The only thing we enjoy more than sleeping is eating and drinking stuff. In order to eat and drink, we’re going to need some cool electronics to make sure that out drinks stay nice and cool and that our food doesn’t spoil prematurely. We decided to take a look at some cool new fridges that are both technologically advanced as well as artistically pleasing. Some of these fridges are concept ideas that may never make it to a department store near you while others are more basic fridges but are very cool to look at.


Electrolux Modular Refrigerator



-The modular refrigerator was designed for students living in dorm rooms. The fridge starts off with a base unit and can have new fridges mounted on top of each other depending on how many students are living together. This gives each student their own personal fridge as well as their own personal lock so that no other student can steal milk or cookies from someone else when they get the late night munchies.

We don’t know why it’s taken so long for us to write about this topic but the time has finally arrived to unveil the beds that we would love to sleep or relax in. Lots of web sites showcase beds that look like they’re from the year 2040. They look all futurist-icy and have an all white background with white furniture and white walls. We might show one of two of those because they’re cool but we tried to find some beds that we would want to sleep in, that are easy to maintain if you get food all over them or can easily be thrown away and most importantly —Beds that you would treat as a home within a home and wouldn’t even want to get your lazy ass out of bed for. After all, we are lazy and the things our bed should do for us is help us eat,sleep and make us comfortable.


Nintendo NES Bed



-The first bed on our list can be classified as ‘cheating’ since it’s the bed sheets that are cool and not so much the bed but the design was too cool for us to pass up. The Nintendo NES Bed transforms your bed to look like a Nintendo NES system with matching controllers. If you’re a gamer and love any type of video games or simply love to collect retro stuff from the 1980s then this is definitely the bed for you.

We’ve done 2/3 next generation video game systems so far and finally we complete our video game system review with the winner of the past video game generation: The Playstation 3. It’s easy to see why the Playstation system did so well before. It came out at a time when consumers were looking to purchase affordable DVD players and had easy programming for video game programmers which helped to create a large amount of high quality video game characters and franchises. Since then, the XBOX 360 has stepped in early trying to beat Sony to the punch when it comes to high end technical gaming with new technology and strong graphics based video games. Let’s start with the highs and lows as usual.



Highs:
-Blue Ray Drive.
-Backwards Compatible with old playstation games.
-High end hardware makes it future-proof.
-High end graphics with 1080p capabilities.
-HDMI Input.

Lows:
-System is massive
-Price.
-No force feedback controller.
-System smudges a lot.
-Different price structures are missing certain key elements.
