Powerful Video: First World Problems [Cool Stuff]

Video

Washington DC – Many of us do it, we complain about how our phones’ internet connection is too slow or how your iPhone case doesn’t match your shoes, but we forget that many people throughout the world cannot say such things. These are first world problems, the video above makes a good point — these problems are not problems at all.

The video is part of a campaign to bring clean water to people in impoverished countries of the world where clean water is scarse. WATERisLIFE.com is giving out “straws” or personal filters to people who live in these countries so that can have access to their own clean water through filtration. Each straw costs about $10.00 USD, but it is for a good cause. Share the video with your friends and join the effort. To donate please visit Water Is Life’s website, here.

The New Updated Lockitron: Keyless Entry Using Your Phone

You can unlock or lock your doors through the internet, text or through an app on your smart phone or device. The new updated version of Lockitron allows for keyless entry to your door, in other words you simply walk up to your door and it unlocks thanks to Bluetooth 4.0.
