Why AduroSmart ERIA Light Bulbs Are Must Have in Any Smart Home
Among photographers and interior designers, there's a saying. They all say, "Lighting is everything," and it's true. The right lighting can make an otherwise unwelcoming place look cozy, and the wrong lighting can make a mansion look like a wreck.

Experience VR with HyperVR Virtual Reality Headset
As someone who is not necessarily technologically-savvy, hearing terms like "virtual reality" and "augmented reality" made me feel like I was living in an episode of The Jetsons. Those terms, for all intents and purposes, sound so other-worldly to an older gentleman like myself, that I never imagined I would ever consider purchasing that kind of technology. After all, how much could something that literally puts you in another reality costs? Hundreds, if not thousands, right?!

But while demand might be higher than ever before, there is still a deficit of talented coders and computer technicians out there. This goes for both full time employees and freelancers looking to make some extra cash.

Why Learn Java?
There's no denying that learning a new language can be daunting; and software programming languages are just that, languages that you have to put the time in to learn.

In fact, Java programming is a requirement for many job positions, whether they be for Fortune 500 companies or any of the jobs you can find on a simple Indeed search.

Bone Conductive Headphones for the Hard of Hearing
When I first got a hearing aid at the age of 24, one of my first concerns was how I would be able to listen to music. I couldn't use in-ear headphones, because one ear is currently occupied by assistive technology. I couldn't use on-the-ear headphones because the hearing aid couldn't pick up the sound and I couldn't hear the music in one ear. I couldn't use over-the-ear headphones (earmuffs) because they caused a ton of feedback or muffled my hearing in my ear.
