This article is about all the popular sounds old technology used to make. It specifially described 13 of them and gives links to hear what it sounded like. Check it out!

I found this article interesting because I've always had a fascination with things that are old and not popular these days. I still, of course, love the new technologies out there and use them regularly. But, that doesn't mean that when I see an old gizmo I don't get the urge to pick it up and try it out.

This article is about how ridiculous the prices of video games for gaming systems, such as Xbox 360 and Playstation are. It talks about alternatives, other choices or ways, to get just a fun and entertaining video games for much less.

I found this interesting because I have a younger brother who owns a Playstation 3 and a Wii. The games we buy for him cost at least $50, if not more. So, learning there are cheaper alternatives is like music to my parents ears.

This article states all the different types of smartphones that are really good and cost very little. Also, they don't have a contract which is a plus to many people.

I choose this article because a few years ago my parents got me a no contract phone for emergencies. It was a normal sliding phone, not a high-tech smartphone so this is interesting to read about.

This article is about the new advancements in sports watches. They have come so far as to be able to monitor things such as heart rates and stuff that even smartphones cannot do.

This interested me because I love to learn about the newest technology out there and also because I own a watch myself but it not as far as fancy as these new styles and types.

This article is about how basketball and a popular social networking site, Twitter, are related. The main connection between them is the Twitter logo's name. It was named after Larry Bird, who used to play for the Celtics, and is now a manager for the Indiana Pacers.
