Today is your day Boomer! Keep an eye on the new tech gadgets coming out this week at the big Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas. They will showcase a number of new inventions that will get many Boomers pretty excited. Here are some new things to consider buying: a "smart" bird feeder that takes pictures of birds as they enter the feeder, a fitness tracker for your dog, an educational robot for grand kids, digital temporary tatoos, and the one of most interest to me...electric skates! "The battery lasts for 32 kilometres, says founder Mohamed Soliman, who hopes people will see them as a viable way to commute, like electric bikes or scooters. 'My goal is for everyone to go skating again because it’s so much fun, every time you see people skating you see them with a big smile.' "A waist bag holds the battery and cables connected to the skates. They also can be used as regular skates when they need to be charged or skaters simply want to travel under their own power." The company is called Atmosgear, if you're interested. I know many Boomers ARE interested in fitness activities, and many already own electric bikes....so this may be another method of active, retirement fun. Cheers!
