Just for the sake of trying something different, we are going to check out some army gadgets to see what is hip, new and somehow strange in the military world. We know that you probably won’t go out there and buy yourself one of these things, but it’s interesting to know how the military can really use a helping hand from the technology developments which are out there. Even if they take dangerous missions in the desert, rain forest or any other place called “the middle of nowhere”, militaries can use a good gadget once in a while because it help making the mission a lot easier.

The first thing that drew our attention is the huge wrist watch developed by Tadiran Communications. In fact, this is the development of new video communication technology which manages to deliver live images directly from a helicopter to a display that measures 3 inches in diagonal and it is strapped to your hand just like a wrist watch. This means that you can keep the ground under surveillance by air, even if you are in the car. This receiver can give generals or soldiers a great view from above to get a better idea of what is going on in the battlefield. The videos transmitted have a 30 frames per second speed. Since the price of this gadget is $50, this gizmo can be afforded by everyone and inside the package you shall find a receiver, a transmitter and a battery.
The next item for today is also one of those
army gadgets that can be attached to wrist for safe keeping and easy carrying but it is built to be a bit more complex than the device described above. The Military Wrist computer is a gadget built especially for the army because it can stand also any extreme environments like desert sand storms or excessive heat or Amazonian jungle tropical rains or dust… you get the point! This is a rugged device is more likely to make it when the going gets tough. It comes with the Linux operating system preinstalled and it has become an easier method for communications when you are basically away from any form of electricity or power but need to send our important information. Even if this little gizmo is designed especially for the military, almost anyone can use it. we are not very sure about the price but who needs this when you have a quiet life going on?
The last gadget on the list may be small, but it certainly can save a lot of lives and even if it is designed for military, paramedics can also use it. I am talking about the Robotic Spyplanes which can do a little more than just spy. These small planes may look like toys, but they can send medical supplies, saliva and blood samples and other bodily matters. These planes are operated using specific remote controls and the whole operations are maneuvered by a person on the ground. How cool is that?

You are waken up every morning by a phone or a regular alarm clock shaped like a giant pink heart? You have to pack your bags for a 2-day trip and besides all the closet you’ll take, you also stuff a teddy bear and a fluffly pillow? Did you ever go to Amsterdam and not come home with at least three almost illegal things that you put somewhere in your room where everybody can see them? This is the kind of the things you own and you are bound of. Most of them are memory-related items that we will always have a special affection for, no matter how old or grumpy they are. And because we still think they’re cool. So, what are some of the coolest things I own?
<-300×250 Medium Rectangle – center->
Besides the brand clothes without I cannot picture my life, I have some pretty goofy or unnecessary thnigs that I own and I still think they’re cool, such as a McDonald’s toy with a master Yoda who will answer all my questions if I shake him before, an “I love Haiti” badge because I care but, the first and the best, is my rabbit John. He’s 2 and a half years old, white and has blue eyes and he’s my best friend. Oh, and since we are here to brag about the things we own, let me tell you my second coolest thing I own, which is a heart-shaped necklace with 2 faces; one face its pink and says “He loves me” and the other one is blue and says “He loves me not”. I don’t know why, but my boyfriend likes this necklace a lot, he always seems to play with it and accidentally leave it on the blue side…
Comming back, if you are guy in search for the next coolest things to own, you might check some items from this list to get inspired and to be the absolute coolest guy out there:
1. Zippo Brushed Chrome Pocket Lighter -because Zippo lighters are the coolest things, even though you don’t smoke.
2. Ray-Ban Sunglasses. No matter we talk about the classic aviators or the wayfarers, a pair of Ray Ban is the ultimate accessory for a trendy and cool guy.
3. Pair of Levis Men’s 501 skinny jeans – because all boys walk in style and because skinny jeans make them look even hotter.
4. Rolex watch-sure, not all of us afford them but the ultimate accessory when it comes to impressing girls, besides the limo we already suppose you have at your door, is a Rolex watch which will always make you be on time for the next date.
Sure, I don’t own any of the items written above, or at least not in the masculine version, but I do own other cool things and I’m proud of it. So, besides the usual iPhones and gadgets and watches and cars,
which is the coolest thing you own?
