This article was about a new device that improve the gaming experience on IPhone or IPod's. The new controller looks very similar to the controller for the PlayStation or Xbox.
The article was titled "Moga Ace Power Controller: Precision Gaming on the Go."

This controller is portable and light weight. It will allow the feeling of using a controller even when on your IPhone or IPod. The price is high though. It is about $100. The author of the article wrote that "the Moga seems to be priced just a bit above what it should be, given its build quality." Also there are some problems with it.
I have to agree that the price is high. If it was cheaper I would definitely buy it, though. It is an awesome new toy that can make gaming on cell phones funner. This affects me because sometimes when I play games on touch screen devices, I get annoyed. This would help because there would be the controller, buttons, and the touch screen. Also this would result in less scratches on the screen and much more. I think that this is an awesome idea and should be improved even further.
This could impact the world because it could result in more people playing games on their phone. It could also lessen the need for screen replacements. I think this could also cause problems though. This could make it to where anywhere people go they can game, even if they are not supposed to be. It can cause people to be distracted. I would hope that no one would try to use this while driving but I'm sure someone would. This would cause more wrecks and possibly injuries. In a positive note though, you would be able to game while waiting on something or breaks at work/school.

This article telling about the new exoskeleton robot that gives you more arm strength.
"Award Winning Robotic Exoskeleton Boosts Your Arm Strength."
Strange, Adario. "Award Winning Robotic Exoskeleton." Mashable. Mashable, 7 Nov. 2013. Web. 7 Nov. 2013. <http://mashable.com/2013/11/07/titan-arm-exoskeleton/>.
In this article, it tells about four people who came up with this robotic exoskeleton to help you have more arm strength. They were in a competition with other inventors and they won. The prize was money to help better their invention. There are some inventions that are similar to this but Strange said that "Although the suit is not generally for sale, it is being offered for rental". He was talking about another invention that had come out earlier. It is also mentioned though that there are people working to make this an everyday object. The exoskeleton can be used for delivery people, people in rehab, and elderly people. (Strange)
I think this is awesome. This can be a great tool that can be useful. I think its cool that they invented this and won the competition. They deserved it. This affects me because my grandparents or others in my life could use this . It can help them in their daily lives and jobs. Even I could possibly use this in the future. I hope that it is available to the public soon.
This affects the public because it can make more things available to the elderly or help people get jobs even if alone they are not competent. If available, it could make peoples lives easier. It could make jobs available for older people that are too frail or weak without it. It can make bigger deliveries easy and possible without too much extra work. Also if someone needed to move something heavy they could move it alone or with the help of less people. I think that the Robotic Exoskeleton could is a great advancement that could help people everywhere.
