Gadgets That Do Good
Technology! Love it or hate it, our devices are now part of how we define ourselves. From the thought-provoking to the style-inspiring, here’s a handful of goods and services that will get your technology working overtime for you.
Case By Case
Missing the analog days? We feel your pain – and so does BlissfulCASE. Their full line of woodgrain and dreamy geometric iPhone cases ($14.99 and up) will express your nostalgia for the past even as they protect your pocket-sized investment in a sleeker future.
Speak Out
Sometimes you (and your 1980s Madness Pandora station) just have a need to be heard. Jawbone portable speakers are a fabulous and functional way to do just that, free of wires. And the sassy yellow limited edition JAMBOX donates 25% of proceeds to charity: water– how’s that for good vibrations?
Book It
Beach reads should be short and non-taxing: but what if they were also inspiring? Give it the old college try with TED Books, a new service from the powerhouse of ideas. Shorter than a novel but longer than an article, the interface features in-line items such as images, maps, audio, video, and even a social element that may be the closest you can come to scribbling notes in the margin on a Kindle – yet.
