The technological advances never cease. Computers and gaming consoles get faster and more powerful. Virtual reality is becoming an actuality. Even motion-sensors are getting smaller. The flash drive-sized Leap Motion controller is a prime example of this.

An extra monitor can always come in handy. You can set other windows or folders to the extra monitor, you can use it for your media player, or just generally get rid of the clutter on your main monitor. ThinkGeek has been selling Lilliput Mini USB Monitors, but do they serve their purpose well or not? Lilliput Electronics Co., Ltd is the bestselling Chinese brand of mini LCD application in Europe, North America and Southeast Asia and other areas. With branches all over the world, Lilliput has relations with multiple educational institutions.

Recorders are an integral part of a journalist’s repertoire, regardless of whether or it it’s audio or video. However, students also utilize them for notes and lectures.

The former is the main reason I wanted this device, as audio interviews might be tricky for me, although I have some ideas on how to accomplish them.

As technology progresses, we are getting stuff that, not-so-long ago, was out of science fiction stories. Mobile devices, MP3 players and DVD players were all things we could only dream of, 15 years ago. Now ThinkGeek now sells Spycam Video/MP3/Camera Sunglasses, but are they a dream come true, or a nightmare? I first saw the Spycam Video/MP3/Camera Sunglasses ("Video Sunglasses" for the remainder of this review), while reviewing the 1.3 Megapixel Spy Camera Sunglasses ("Camera Sunglasses"). Being able to only use one hand, I've never been able to use a video camera, although the desire has been there since high school. Having a lot of success with the Camera Sunglasses, I decided to give the Video Sunglasses a try.

Fictional secret agents, such as the iconic James Bond, have had cool gadgets like pen-bombs, laser-shooting wristwatches, and grappling hook belts. Now technology has gotten to a point where normal people (like you and I) can have such gadgets. ThinkGeek (a shopping site for geeks) now sells Spy Camera Sunglasses, but are they suitable for their intended mission, or should they be terminated?
