The Road to Hipsterdom

Every morning we wake up, we emerge in world more evolved than the day before. May it be that the difference is a minute one, it is still one that we fully embrace and benefit from. Whether it concerns iPhones or fruit, the world is constantly revolutionizing. No, not like the kind Che Guevara would have imagined. Rather, the world is immersing itself in a pool of  savviness and emerging from the pit of bottomless possibility as a champion unique like no other. Inevitably, simply looking back a few weeks into the past, one would see an altered world than the one that stands present before him or her now.

In essence, a "first world problem" that many people face nowadays is charging their Iphone. While it may appear to be a menial task not requiring much time or effort, it is still one that is met with a negative attitude by most people time after time. "I'm too lazy" is an excuse that is constantly reiterated throughout all generations, young, adults, and the elderly. Fear nothing cries out Joao Paolo Lammoglia! The Italian innovator denounces charging one's phone through "wind-powered and solar-powered gadgets." Rather, he introduces the incredible idea of charging one's Iphone through simply breathing into it. The user's breath is "converted into electricity via small wind turbines and the user wears the AIRE mask hooked up to an IOS device." Thus, this brings about a completely new dawn of how we look at the nuances of charging an Iphone. What's not to love about it? While not available yet for commercial sale, the device encourages physical activity and embraces an entirely new way of charging one's phone at the same time! Well hipsters...better line up now before even breathing becomes too mainstream for you to handle.

Charging one's Iphone often ends up being an emotionally and/or physically draining task. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can prescribe for the emotional issues, except maybe a healthy television session of Oprah. As far as the physical issue is concerned, however, there is nothing better than food. But don't you hate it when you bite into a fruit and only taste the absolute disappointment of it not being ripe slowly fill your taste buds much to your disgust? Luckily for you, people have enough time on their hands to develop endless solutions to the most ridiculous problems. No, I did not stutter. Scientists at Tufts University have developed  edible stickers that let you know when your fruit is ripe enough to eat. All you have to do is scan its surface with a smart phone, and BOOM, your verdict is right there in front of you. Say goodbye to the eternally unpleasant feeling of biting into a premature banana and having your day ruined in a single bite. Yes, while this may not necessarily be a first world problem, it is definitely one that deserves a solution. Without fail, it is yet another wonderful way to simplify our already simple lives. But hey, who's complaining? I sure ain't mad.
