MEGATechNews Crowdfunding Corner – August 2017

Pinning Garage Door Reminder

Leaving the garage door open is a pretty big deal. It gives anybody and everybody access to your garage and, if you didn’t lock up properly, the rest of your house, too. And if you’re gone all day at work, or even worse, out of town for a few days, that gives would-be thieves plenty of time to do some serious damage. Pinning is a small device that plugs into an outlet, while offering an outlet on the device itself to plug the garage door into. The companion piece plugs into your car’s lighter socket and beeps and flashes to let you know if you’re pulling away with the garage door open. A pretty simple solution for what could be a disastrous problem.

The Terminator Multimedia Alexa Speaker

This one is just pure self-indulgence on my part. I’ve tried to populate this list with helpful (and hopefully, in some cases, life-saving) creations, but this one just spoke to me. There have been countless Skynet jokes made as effective artificial intelligence becomes closer to a reality, and AC Worldwide have just gone ahead and turned the joke into a product itself. And not only would it make an awesome mantel piece, but one of the eyes is an HD camera. How cool is that? Your digital assistant is literally watching you! If you buy this, you clearly welcome your new robot overlords.

Crowdfunding Corner Continues

So those are our MEGATechNews picks for August 2017. From the downright weird Terminator Multimedia Alexa Speaker (I hope they cleared this with the Governator or their lawyers will be saying “Hasta La Vista”) to the potentially life saving BackFlare Smartvest for Motorcyle.
