1. Delete cookies, cache and internet history from web browsers

 Deleting or removing your cookies, cache and internet history will free some of your computer's disk space, enabling your computer to run faster.

2. Clean up unnecessary PC startup programs

Some programs have options that allow you turn off their automatic startup function. Uninstalling unnecessary startup programs will also help speed up your computer's startup time.

3. Uninstall unused software

 Uninstalling unused software from your PC can free up space for other, more useful programs, plus speed up your computer's startup time and overall performance.

4. Clean and free up your PC's disk space

Use a disk optimizer to identify and clean PC files that are no longer needed on your computer.

5. Clean your computer's registry

The system registry is a very sensitive part of your computer and should be modified with caution. The best way to clean and optimize your computer's registry for better performance is to use a trusted registry cleaner and optimizer to defrag and compact your system registry.

6. Defragment the computer

You can speed up your slow computer by defragmenting the hard drive. Defragmenting your computer's hard drive takes all of its fragmented files and places them in one central location. This results in more available disk space on your hard drive, which in turn allows your PC to perform faster.

ITClamp

                         ITClamp                   After three tours in Afghanistan as a trauma surgeon for the Canadian Navy, Dr. Dennis Filips was inspired -- by a simple hair clip -- to design a medical clamp that can stop traumatic wound bleeding in a matter of seconds. Filips' firm reports that its aim is to allow medics, soldiers, and first responders to better treat three of the most preventable causes of trauma deaths: massive bleeding, tension pneumothorax (cardiovascular compromise resulting from a collapsed lung), and airway obstruction (blockage of the upper airway).While the clamp isn't going to replace the tourniquet anytime soon (certain wounds are so messy and massive that a clamp won't cut it), it could prove useful for smaller, cleaner wounds, as well as in places where tourniquets won't work (think neck, abdomen, groin).
Filips says he envisions his clamp being stocked in both civilian and combat ambulances and hospitals. They could also prove useful to, say, mountaineers. The clamp will come in a sterile container that resembles a mouthguard holder. Applying pressure evenly across the seal, the clamp could conceivably stay in place for hours until surgery is possible. It won't, of course, stop internal bleeding. Expected to cost $65, the ITClamp is now in pre-production and being sent to various regulatory offices for review, including the FDA.

Driverless Car

Driverless car or Robo car i think is an amazing idea because its like having the perfect driver.  No human being are perfect and make mistakes constantly while at the wheel from road rage, no respecting the motorcyclist, the speed limit. Say goodbye to those people who drive as if they are blind and lack self-control behind the wheel. Also those nasty tickets. No more drunk drivers ending innocent peoples life and their own. accidents are reduced, claims will drop. 
Google predicts it can eliminate 90% of auto accidents. While this number is hard to believe today, even if the drop is only 25% of today’s level, a $1,000 car insurance policy would drop to $750. What happens to industry revenue including insurance agents’ commissions? This advance will disrupt other industries. If there are fewer accidents, we will need fewer emergency rooms, hospitals, doctors, prescriptions, tow trucks, collision repair shops, and replacement automobiles. How will each of these industries respond? And the need for insurance for each of these industries will be reduced further, affecting insurance agents and carriers.

Electric Underwear

We know, we know, but hear us out—electric underwear really can save thousands of lives. See, when a patient is lying in a hospital bed for days, weeks, or months, they can develop bed sores—open wounds formed by a lack of circulation and compressed skin. And believe it or not, bed sores can be deadly. Roughly 60,000 people die from bed sores and resulting infections every year, draining $12 billion from the U.S. medical industry.

Developed by Canadian researcher Sean Dukelow, the electric underpants—dubbed Smart-E-Pants—deliver a small electrical charge every ten minutes. The effect is the same as if the patient was moving on their own—it activates muscles and increases circulation in that area, and effectively eliminates bed sores, thereby saving lives.

My quite week without technology was not really a significant change in my life.

·        Wednesday, February 26- My first day of technology lock down I made an amazing BLT with a side of fries and enjoyed it in the quietness of my home usually I would watch TV but I didn’t and my food was great.

·        Thursday, February 27- I spent my hour without technology sleeping.

·        Friday, February 28- I spent my hour studying for my Urinary Test that I have on Monday.

·        Saturday, March 1- I spent my hour again studying for that Urinary test and doing the rest of my homework’s.

·        Sunday, March 2- I spent an hour in the quite dealing with some personal stuff.

·        Monday, March 3- I spent my hour trapped on a bus with no technology with loud obnoxious people.

·        Tuesday, March 4- Spent my hour making an amazing Jamaican breakfast.

·        Wednesday, March 5- The End !!

                                    Needle-Free Diabetes Care

Diabetes self-care is a pain—literally. It brings the constant need to draw blood for glucose testing, the need for daily insulin shots and the heightened risk of infection from all that poking. Continuous glucose monitors and insulin pumps are today's best options for automating most of the complicated daily process of blood sugar management – but they don't completely remove the need for skin pricks and shots. But there's new skin in this game. Echo Therapeutics (Philadelphia, PA) is developing technologies that would replace the poke with a patch. The company is working on a transdermal biosensor that reads blood analytes through the skin without drawing blood. The technology involves a handheld electric-toothbrush-like device that removes just enough top-layer skin cells to put the patient's blood chemistry within signal range of a patch-borne biosensor. The sensor collects one reading per minute and sends the data wirelessly to a remote monitor, triggering audible alarms when levels go out of the patient's optimal range and tracking glucose levels over time. I really like this new idea because it minimize the pain and the people who take very poor care of their  health when it come to their diabetes this can be very beneficial.

Anti-Bleeding Gel

In the medical field they are always making changes. Many of the changes are for the better which help the patients to live a longer life. One of the most remarkable technology based product I have stumbled across is the Anti-Bleeding Gel. I find it to be a phenomenal idea for people who take blood thinners and who have hemophilia because with the simple prink of a needle they can bleed out and die because it’s extremely difficult to stop the bleeding. Also I find it to be a just remarkable invention because when people are severely hurt one of the biggest problems doctors have is trying to get them to stop bleeding and that gel would come in handy and save a lot of lives. Usually, a medical advance comes from years of high budget research sometimes its sheer accident. That wasn’t the case for Joe Landolina and Isaac Miller who came up with the divine Veti-Gel, a cream-like substance that will instantly seal a wound and start the clotting process. The anti-bleeding gel creates a synthetic framework that mimics the extracellular matrix, an awesomely named natural substance that helps cells in the body grow together. If this product becomes commercial, it could save millions of lives, especially in combat zones
