Glo Pillow Alarm Wakes You Up Slowly

Let's face it; no one will ever love his or her alarm clock. Even the spiffy Clocky alarm, which can be programmed to jump off of your nightstand and wheel around your room looking for a place to hide won't keep you entertained for long. After all, it's waking you up from sweet slumber. Eoin McNally & Ian Walton's glo pillow aims to solve this problem by creating a more natural way of being woken than the alarm clock.
The glo pillow uses an integrated fabric interface for setting the alarm. The time is displayed on the surface of the pillow using an LED grid inside the pillow. The user goes to sleep and passes through the five sleep stages to REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Forty-five minutes before the alarm is due to activate, the pillow begins to glow. read more
Apparently, using light rather than sound to wake encourages the body to establish a healthy sleep rhythm, and makes the day more productive and stress free. The pillow is charged by induction, which allows the pillow to be wireless and move freely about the bed.

The Effect of Technology Advances on Modern Lifestyle

Technology is rapidly changing our world all the time. The pace of development and change has accelerated exponentially since the beginning of the 20th century and continues today, affecting many aspects of daily modern life.
Computers
Computers have changed many facets of modern life. From large mainframes that crunch numbers and help with scientific research, to your home desktop or laptop, computers are used by most industries and people. You can make your own movie or song, store your pictures and check your novel's spelling with the same machine. You can do your taxes, keep all your records safe and tidy, and communicate with people all around the world.
Internet
Over a billion people use the Internet to perform daily tasks more easily and quickly. If you are so inclined, in fact, you can do most of your everyday tasks online. You can order most goods over the Internet and find items for sale you might have never heard of before. You can email, instant message or video chat with friends and family all over the world. You can work from home and learn about almost anything, all through the connective power of the Internet.
Transportation
One of main reasons consumer goods are cheap and available in developed countries is because of advances in transportation. You can eat food, wear clothes and play games all made in different, far-off countries because of planes, trucks, supertankers and roads that didn't exist a century ago. You can also travel to almost anywhere in the world in a day or two, instead of months. Everything is more accessible.
Medicine
Advances in medicine have allowed people to live longer and healthier lives. Antibiotics and vaccines might have saved your life, and have definitely kept someone you know alive.
Cell Phones
People are more connected to each other than ever before, and a large part of that is related to the popularity of cell phones. Allowing for instant communication, cell phones have changed the way people do business (from anywhere) and meet up with friends (punctuality and making plans are not as necessary). Newer phones also allow you to access the Internet, play games and even record video.
