Sense of Touch
Researchers have found a fascinating property in the metamaterial: the
ability to hide or "cloak" the existence of foreign objects hidden
within it. It works by being able to disperse the pressure from the other object so that it cannot be detected. It's a discovery that could lead to making everything from
more comfortable camping gear to shoes that make you feel like you're
walking on air. Of course there is the other side of the coin when people will want to hide things using this material. It might be able to cloak any weapons that someone might be trying to hide. Link this technology with software development or even mobile applications and the possibility become even more endless. Where do you think that this type of tech is headed?

There Can Be Too Much Communication
How often do you check your email, internet fax, and voicemails? I thought so. We live in a constantly connected world where you are probably thinking of checking it right now as you are reading this post considering that I have just reminded you that you need to get back to answering all those emails and meticulously going through them. Well hold on a moment. There is a spectrum here, Some people treat email like a constant stream of communications that they let go and only answer when they can without necessarily answering every one of them. On the other hand, there are some that let it pile up higher and higher until they just decide to delete it all and start fresh. Both ideas seem like the perfect way to slow down productivity and put a damper on your business. These communication services were meant to improve life and not destroy it. The first thing to do is to shut off those notifications and only check email three times a day. No more. Another solution is to use Unroll.me to unsubscribe from those emails that you constantly get and never get around to reading. Happy communicating!
