Watch Seeds Grow in a Geekier Way with the Super Plantarium

There’s a lot of amazing phenomenon everywhere. Take for example the way a seed grows into a plant. During school days, observing the growth of seeds is one of the interesting things you probably did for a certain lesson. In this, you need to carefully nurture the seeds by allowing them to have enough water, sunlight, and proper soil. Such a disappointment when you see them dehydrated and soon to be of no use. But that was before, because this time you can easily have the seeds grow in a whole new way without having to water them. Introducing the Super Planetarium – an extra large greenhouse that lets seeds grow in a geekier way!

Unlike the traditional components used to cultivate seeds, the Super Plantarium allows your seeds to develop and grow through a special growth gel. Using this gel does not require watering of the seeds anymore. After setting up this garden lab, simply enjoy and be amazed while watching your seeds grow. There are four different types of seeds in capsules included in the kit like red chili pepper, parsley, thyme, and arugala. Additionally, all the things you need are in the package such as large greenhouse container, wooden stick, three pots, three soil peat pellets, and growth gel.

The Super Plantarium is not just ideal for kids but for adults too. For sure watching the seeds grow is a fun educational experience for the family. Go get it here!

“Plant Twitter” Household Plants are now Online!

Can you imagine getting a Twitter message from your plants reminding you to give them some water when you get home? Well, you don’t have to imagine it, because that technology is now available for purchase. The Chief Scientist at CERN was attempting to converse with a patch of catnip when he realized that the Twitter technology would be perfect for communication.

It connects to the Internet through a built-in Ethernet jack then metal leads stick into the plant’s soil and transmits directly to the plants Twitter feed. It communicates when it needs watered, whether it is overwatered, and then thanks you afterwards.

This product is similar to the “Blogging Plant” that was introduced last year, but the Twitter plant actually communicates at all times. It will send a Twitter message the moment it needs assistance and give gratitude the moment it is fulfilled. Currently this technology is sold as a kit, meaning you will need a soldering iron, and some patience. For $99 you get the fun of communicating with your plant via the internet and creating the technology that made it possible.

This product won’t “change” lives, but it does make life a little easier. If you are like me and definitely not blessed with a “green thumb”, then you kill most of your plants, you forgot to water them or didn’t realize they were in trouble until it was too late. This technology makes it possible for those with “green thumb” handicaps to become responsible plant owners.

Hearing More

With the fast paced world and fast turn of over of technology, it is not surprising that some people will come up with new ways of helping or enabling the “unabled” or disabled. Researchers at Otologics in Colorado, USA have come up with a new hearing aid device. The hearing aid gadget is surgically implanted behind the ear, instead of the usual clip-ons outside and behind the ear or insertions into the ear. It picks up sound via a microphone and transmits it to a piston that is implanted in the middle ear, which then transfers vibrations to the tiny bones of the inner ear.

With this device, which is to be replaced once in every 5-20 years, enables the user to hear a more “natural” sound compared to the conventional types of hearing aids. Also, it can be worn wherever the user goes and does, and doesn’t have to be taken off when going to bed. However, compared to the latter, it reduces a narrower range of frequencies, meaning that users hear less with it as evidenced by word- comprehension tests that they (the users) took. Another thing is that its battery has to be recharged nightly using a transmitter strapped to the user’s head for an hour and it costs a lot more than the conventional hearing aids. However, since this is a new product, it is expected that it has drawbacks, such as its price and frequency range, which are very important factors to be considered in hearing aids.

Do you find it hard to say I love you?

Saying I love you can be difficult especially if you’d say it for the first time. Do you love someone but don’t have the guts to say it to her? Well, you could try texting her or sending her an e-mail saying how much you love her but you just couldn’t say the words to her yet. Sure you could do that but that is just so boring!

The whole courting game is not easy and you should impress if you don’t want to get ditched. Animals know this very well. In order to get a mate, they should impress the female and she would choose the male that swept her off her feet. It’s the same with women! If you want to impress her, would you just text her an “I love you” message? Not!

[amtap amazon:asin=B000RN2YVI]Buy an I love you message egg and give it to her. You’d get a clear container with an egg inside. You crack the top of the egg and you water it just like an ordinary plant and soon the love bean would appear then in time the first leaves would have I love you written on them. When it gets larger, you have to transfer it to a pot and show it to the whole world! It’s cool and it’s so sweet! This will definitely sweep her off her feet!
