The Pros and Cons of Forums

This day and age, forums is a social means of conversating with one another. There’s forums for almost everything now a days.

I’m a frequent visitor to about 4 different forums daily. In the beginning, I used these forums just to gather information. I never saw the point of contributing to the forum, so I would just lurk around and read almost everything. Later on I signed up for the forums so I can contribute, solely because I wanted to put my two cents in on certain subjects. Forums can be used to gain information, to have questions answered, and to network. Also forums are a promotional and marketing tool for companies, which thus help with sales and informing consumers about their latest and greatest product.

The bad thing on forums is that people all have the right to speak their piece on anything. So if they don’t like you or a certain company/topic, they will bash you like there is no tomorrow. Being on the forum, you have to watch what you say because you really don’t know who you are talking to behind the computer screen. There’s also a big sense of e-hate that grows very easily on forums.

I encourage people to take part in a forum of their liking. This is possibly one of the best ways to network amongst individuals that share the same interests and passion for a topic as you do.

A Chair For $1,050!?!?

This is known as the Shadow Chair. At first glance it looks as if this chair only has two legs, but dont be fooled! The black shadow is actually  the base of the chair. The stupid part is that this chair costs $1,050! Who in the right mind would shell out that money for a chair? I would pay 1,050 for a couch…MAYBE, but for a dumb wooden chair with a black base…get out of here.

Lull Flower Lamp

The Lull Flower Lamp closes at night and blooms in the morning to let you know it’s time to wake up! I actually think this an amazing invention. For it to be able to close and open on its own is pretty unique, but I believe we might have to do some setting on this invention. This concept will go into production later this year.

Martin Jetpack

Developed by the Martin Aircraft Academy, this jetpack is capable of a 30 minute flight at 60 mph and 8,000 feet, however this prototype is only able to levitate off the ground for a good 2 or 3 feet. This jetpack runs on automobile fuel, so it isn’t entirely environmentally friendly. I would love to see this jetpack levitate even higher and look not so bulky.
