It is important to use not only intelligence to the maximum, but also the potential that lies in the material objects around you. Take a look at your phone. Manufacturers are sophisticated as they can in order to surprise us with interesting chips. Modern phones are equipped better than NASA technology in the early 2000s. At the same time, the average smartphone owner does not use even a third of the possibilities. About 65% of people do not even download additional applications, they just need basic phone settings.

Well, of course, it is worth getting comfortable watches that will make the process of time control comfortable. Smartwatch is one of the best inventions of mankind. Just think, on a small screen you can display all the necessary information: from text messages to weather forecasts for the coming week.

Smart watches, of course, have their drawbacks:

1.    Cost. Models with a large set of functions are now quite expensive. It’s worth acquiring such a watch only if you are confident in its necessity.

2.    Small screen. Not all information is normally perceived from the screen of a smart watch, it will not be easy to watch a video or read a voluminous text. Yes, and is it worth it?

3.    A watch can do a lot, but not all. The smartphone’s functionality is still more than that of a watch. But technology does not stand still. It is possible that in 5-10 years, smart watches will completely supplant their older brother. 

Use innovations

For example, if your work is connected with the modeling of three-dimensional objects, then you might use a professional 3D printer. Using this device, you can print any solid model using the layered method of creating parts. In medicine, special 3D printers are used that can print objects from living tissue.

For the first time they started talking about a 3D printer in 1986. It was then that the American scientist Chuck Hull created a miracle machine for three-dimensional printing and called it the installation for stereolithography. Then the printer worked only with plastic. Nowadays, acrylic, gypsum, concrete, hydrogel, polyethylene and polypropylene, metal powder, ice and even chocolate are also used for printing. 

Work begins with ... coffee

A real salvation during the hard work of many hours on the project will be a coffee machine installed in the office. Would you think that this invention is more than 170 years old? The first steam coffee maker is a product of the development of the Frenchman Edward Loisel de Sante. It was the Loisel hydrostatic vase, created in 1843, that became the prototype of today's coffee machine. The beverage was brewed under high pressure by passing steam through a layer of ground coffee beans.

Today, it is the coffee machine that starts the workflow in most offices. In the morning, almost the entire team meets near it. Sometimes this small device helps you to work much more productively than the most innovative computer.

Remember, the starting point is today. Our time is not unlimited. Focus on the current moment, enlist the support of high-tech assistants, and the results will not wait long.
