Introduction

Technology is the making of modification, usage, and knowledge of tools, machine techniques, crafts, system, and methods of organization, in order to solve a problem, improve a pre-existing solution to a problem, achieve a goal, handle an applied input/output relation or perform a specific function.  


1.) Keecker Projector is a strangely named Android-based projector robot that can follow you around the house for entertainment purposes
 is a project lead by Pierre Lebeau, a former product manager at Google. Keecker looks pretty much like a ball, or maybe like one of those smart vacuum robots that can clean the house while you’re away, although this one has other powers.
The device moves around your home with the main purpose of having to project video on the walls. Since it’s able to run Android, the Keecker will connect to Google Play, and therefore it will have support for video apps such as Netflix and YouTube. The Keecker offers 1,280 x 800 resolution, and 1,000-lumen brightness, which makes it suitable for use during the day. Interestingly, the robot, will be able to project images on entire walls, but also on the ceiling.
Furthermore, the device packs 360-degree sound thanks to six speakers, which can be used to stream music as well. As expected, other Android-based devices, such as a smartphone or tablet, can control the Keecker.
Reaction:  All I can say about this device is extremely amazing it projects a whole lot of image, this is the best projector I've ever known and it's cool because of it's large image when you watch movies, play games and it has a camera also.

2.) The Whirlpool Interactive Cooktop The Interactive Cooktop is all about doing what you need to when you need to, how you like to. Through seamless connection to mobile devices and Internet-based content, the Interactive Cooktop concept can truly enable you to manage your home from its heart—the kitchen. 
Fluid interaction, just-in-time feedback and intuitive cooking technology will enable flexible and efficient use of the appliance.  It provides information you need to make dinner intentions into dinner plans, lets you engage with friends and loved ones while cooking safely, and brings a sense of surprise and delight to the kitchen through approachable, cutting edge and intuitive design.
The interactive cooktop concept would greatly improve the process of entertaining at home. It can help produce a schedule of tasks leading up to your event, which takes away much of the stress of preparing for guests. It opens up an opportunity to be entertained while you cook and can coordinate your meal as if it were another source of media—recommending music to go with different meals. It can even remind you of guests’ dietary likes, dislikes or restrictions based on profiles and recipes.
Reaction: .Mind Blowing! They created the smart cooktop to ease your life and it just so cool, I loved the idea that you can just control everything, it packages all like searching for a recipes for your dish or having facebook while cooking you can do multitasking if you want and that's the good thing about this product. It was just simple, fun and at the same time entertaining.


3.) The InMotion Segway is about to bring the joy of segway travel to the average person. With a cheaper and lighter alternative to the competitor, this segway like piece presents the opportunity to make segways a norm.
The Segway industry is in a weird spot. On the one hand, they're fun to use, original and cool, but on the other hand they're very expensive and also incredibly heavy, so unless you're actually riding on it, the Segway is difficult to move. The InMotion Segway is looking to make life a bit easier in that regard.
The InMotion Segway is visibly smaller than it's predecessor and as shown in the pictures lighter. It can be lifted easily with one hand. Tourist are already using Sefways to great use; something more portable is definitely a plus for those of us who are so inclined.
Reaction: Another cool machine it has a setting that allows self running, so you don't need to carry it, you can gently pull it along and the wheels turn slowly. Or you could remote control it of course with the app WiFi control.
