It was an ordinary day. Checking my online mail to see how much junk I got today. One of the emails was a "Reader's Digest Read Up" email that I get all the time. Most times I automatically delete them, but today I decided to read the story titled "57 Gadgets & Items Popular With Seniors." Being a 'Senior', I was interested in what I might find interesting that I haven't read about in the past. The first item was a "PhotoStick" that could do a video scan of all my files on my computer to find all of my photographs. Once the stick finds the photos, it places every single photo and video on the "PhotoStick." Now...that's pretty neat! Another item was a device that could hold my toothbrush and kill all the germs on it after I placed my toothbrush in it. The device was known as "Bril" and is a registered class III medical device with the FDA. It has a UV light in it to kill germs on the head of my toothbrush which in turn would protect me from germs, viruses and harmful bacteria. Another device was a program where you could type in any name, wait 2 minutes and see instant matches. You could type in your name and Viola! any place on the Internet that carries your name would show on your screen. Old social media accounts and blogs, speeding tickets, criminal records, assists, etc. are all located with a push of a key. Nah...that something I don't need! But, maybe the self-washing bed sheets that can save me time and money and provide me with a healthier sleep might be something I could use. They are called Miracle sheets and fight bacteria, regulate temperature and prevent the growth of odor-generating bacteria. They told me that it is the natural bacteria fighting silver that is the key to providing a cool, comfortable an healthy night of sleep. Nah...I like the old dirty sheets with my own smell on them! Another item is a battery-powered pump that inflates the tires on your car, bike, etc. without having a cord attached to it. I no longer would have a need for a bicycle pump or to stop at the gas station for air. The device adds air to my tires until it matches the correct PSI. How it does that is not described, but it sounds pretty neat. I may have to look into one of these items. Then there is an Australian-made device that gives your lungs an increase in lung capacity. Says it is great for asthma & viruses. Called AirPhysio and is a certified FDA item that can loosen the phlegm in my chest. But, what else does it loosen? Nah, I passed on this one. Then there is this device that you wrap around your neck and in minutes, any pain you have from texting with the wrong posture or watching TV in the wrong position will automatically be gone. Looks pretty neat and I may have to do some more reading about this one. How about this one...do you have trouble with getting to sleep at night? This device will put you to sleep in less than 8 minutes. Now...I can fall asleep in less than five minutes, so I bypassed reading about this one. Then there was a device you could use on your toilet that will clean you better than toilet paper and can save you money. They first asked me if I clean my dirty dishes with just a dry towel and smear the dirty food around? Same when you wipe yourself with toilet paper! Why not wash the waste away first? Wow...I can just see the floor of my bathroom with this device after I'm done using it. Then there is something called a "donut" that is a universal device stand to hold just about any device ever built. Now...that one does look neat and I think I could use one of these. Then there is the "Kailo" which is a reusable pain patch that can provide natural relief without any effects. Their study said that pain can be reduced by 71% with the use of this patch. The patch uses nanotechnology to communicate with your pain receptors. Makes sense, but why did it take so long for someone to develop it? Makes me wonder. Then there was this device that can digitize all my old photo and videos and protect them forever. I must send my photos, albums, etc to the folks at iMemories who will turn them into digital files and return then to me. Yeah...and what if they mix them up with someone else? How about something that I can use to fix just about everything and don't have to get out my super glue. It's a "plastic welding" tool that can repair anything. Looks neat if it really does work. Well, the list of items goes on and on and many look as if they would work...but why haven't I seen them before now? Hey...if you're interested...pick up a Reader's Digest and read it yourself. Or...you could check out a Reader's Digest at your local store and check out the article before you buy it. If you see something that might work for you...than you can buy the magazine. Good luck with whatever you may try. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
