My husband and I turned to one another and half laughed/half shook our heads at the telltale 21st century enthused discussion that our kids were having with their friends who were over at our house. They could hardly contain themselves talking about what they think are the best iPad 2 apps. It reminded us of how we used to talk feverishly with our friends about what we thought of the latest and greatest things going when we were that age. My husband chimed in on the discussion the kids were having my mentioning what he thinks are the best apps for free … "free" being the operative word! I was glad to hear how informed they all are. I have to say, though, that I breathed a sigh of relief when they all eventually decided to go outside and play a game that got them running around in the fresh air. We do try to instill that in our kids, if we see they're spending a bit too much time on devices. They seem to understand. We encourage them, by all means, to be up to date and to make good use of the latest tech things that can enhance their lives and their studies, but we make sure they understand those are enhancements to life, which is made up of many diverse activities and pursuits.

The latest military technology in the news is one of the Air Force's future inventions, the Pain Ray, also known as the Active Denial System. This latest innovation in technology has been designed for effective crowd control measures, similar to tear gas. This latest weapon technology emits a powerful radiation beam that causes victims to feel a burning sensation and will send people running for cover. The powerful beam can penetrate clothes and lighter defenses, but it is not strong enough to pierce through walls, as yet. Another amongst the latest military technology is the XM25 Smart Rifle. This latest innovation in technology will be equipped with smart bullets that will be able to do a wide array of tasks without the assistance of other high-tech weapons.

With so many apps at our disposal, it would seem perhaps daunting to do enough perusing to find the best apps for one's own Smartphone use. That's where lists that offer a rundown of, for example, top android apps are useful as a starting point. Such lists help get a handle on what may feel like an unwieldy task. Since such lists differ between authors of the lists, and since they are so frequently updated, you can usually count on getting new apps brought to your attention. When I search such lists, I know not everything on the list will be of interest to me, but I'm glad for the reference material provided. Each list feels like it's sifting through the sea of apps for me. It's a good way to also know what functions are covered by apps, and even if I don't perhaps like the particular app listed, I can then search out other apps that do that same function, now that I know there are such apps. So if looking into apps feels overwhelming, or if you find it difficult to keep up on the latest apps, just search for lists that proffer the "top" apps of the moment and they can get you on your way!
