Why are we still sending SMS messages in 2015 is a completely appropriate question. Namely, with all the other options, it seems like a real dinosaur in the range of digital communication options. The first SMS was sent way back in 1992, and in 2010 as many as 80 percent of all mobile users used them. Then came smartphones, paving the way for email, instant messaging and apps. Despite more modern communication channels, SMS remains one of the primary channels. Why?

Sometimes I walk around the keyboard, sometimes in nature. One time I twist the heels, the other time the kitchen. I press the trigger once, the pedals a second time. And one time I play the role of a moviegoer, another time a nanny. Life offers such a wide range of things that it would be pointless to dip your brush in just a color or two, right?
It took 99 years at the Fabergé jewelry house to hatch a new jeweler's work of art, a pearl imperial egg made of 139 small white pearls and more than 3,300 diamonds, accompanied by other precious stones. The last one dates back to the reign of the Russian Tsar Nicholas II, when such eggs were toys of the ruling families. It was presented at the watch and jewelry exhibition in Doha, and will start looking for its buyer at the auction.
In today's times, it seems unheard of to leave your job, even if the salary is so wretched and we are so dissatisfied with it. But that's what we often say to ourselves until retirement. So if you have a dream, don't let your job get in the way. This is probably what the American couple Guillaume Dutilh and Jenna Spesard thought, who quit their jobs and exchanged their settled life for a mobile home with which they travel around the USA.
If The Ant Bully was an animated version of Darling, I Shrunk My Children, where a clumsy scientist accidentally shrunk his children, A Small World is a photographic version. 21-year-old Aneel Neupane did not experiment with devices or potions, but with Photoshop, where he created a "minimundus" of people and inserted them into detailed photographs.
Moggles is a new headset for virtual reality, where you move with the help of a smartphone, which, like a cassette in a Walkman, is inserted into a device that resembles swimming goggles. Hence the name, which is a combination of the words "goggles" and "mobile". It is compatible with any smartphone that does not have a screen larger than 5.5 inches, and relies on their technology (sensors, internet and processor). He is looking for his "patrons" on Indiegogo.
More than 20 years ago, McLaren wrote a new chapter in sports motoring when it created the McLaren F1 GTR road sports car. Despite its enviable age, this is still not for the old model, but compared to younger rivals (eg Ferrari LaFerrari and FXX K) it is still Rocky Balboa from the sixth part and not the first part. McLaren responded to the last moves of the competition with the P1 GTR model, which will be presented in Geneva, and even earlier it walked around the circuit with its "great-grandfather", the F1 GTR.
With a series of photos where he placed action figures of superheroes in front of the lens, Edy Hardjo once again gave meaning to the saying, "It's not a doll, it's an action figure". The fact is that these types of toys are not reserved only for children, and every true "geek" has at home, in addition to a collection of DVDs, at least one bookshelf full of these types of action figures. But no one has ever seen them in such a light.
The Pebble Time smartwatch promises an incredible 7 days of battery life, beating competitors like the Apple Watch, LG Watch Urbane,... by days! Unlike most smart watches, it does not use a touch screen, but e-paper, i.e. a screen with the contrast of paper, which consumes very little energy. Although it has barely started its Kickstarter campaign, it already exceeded the goal of 500 thousand dollars in 20 minutes, and after an hour the number jumped to two million.
Not sure where to go with all those extra millions rolling around in your account? Don't worry, even for such problems there are solutions. For example, this can be the purchase of a brand new luxury yacht Wider 125 from Wider Yachts, a sinfully expensive vessel that will get you from Europe to America on one tank. Heaven on the water.
Watching clips on the YouTube web portal will now be paid for. YouTube is introducing a monthly subscription, which is the result of a pilot project that has been running on certain channels since 2013 (UFC, National Geographic, PGA,...). The subscription should be modest, but in return the user received a much better user experience, which in translation means no more advertisements, which were scattered widely on the portal. How not, when every other internet user uses YouTube.
Apple hit the nail on the head again after filming an ad with Martin Scorsese that aired during the 2015 Oscars on ABC. The famous film director, for a change, did not sit in the director's chair, in the advertisement, which was entirely recorded with an iPad Air 2 tablet, but in the role of narrator. These are words from his speech on creativity at the Tisch School of the Arts in New York.
YouTube now has a mobile app for children called YouTube Kids. It is a "program" intended exclusively for the youngest, free of adult content and content unsuitable for children. Under one roof, only what is family or children's colored is collected - it can be shows, music videos or educational content. As of Monday, February 23, 2015, the app is already available to American children.
