By Adam Scheck The Apple Watch Series 2 was released on September 16, 2016. It was better than the first one. It had a built-in GPS, and a heart rate sensor. It it also water resistant for 50 meters. There are lots of workouts like running, walking, cycling, and swimming. There is also a breath app that asks you to take a minute every hour to stop everything and breath. This watch starts at $369. There is also an Apple Watch sponsored by Nike. Nike notifies you on your watch and asks you "Are you working today?" to make sure you are exercising every day. I think you should get the series 2 if you like swimming

By Adam Scheck Google released the Pixel on October 20, 2016. When they released it, it was not very popular. In four months, The Pixel and Pixel XL Were sold out. Crazy right? The wait list was six weeks. The Pixel starts at $649. The Pixel XL starts at $769. Also, the Google Pixel has Google Assistant. It can do many things. I think the Google Pixel is great for gaming, and watching movies. But it only works with Verizon. So if you have AT&T, T-Mobile, or Sprint. It won't work. What will Google make next? A phone? Computer?
By Adam Scheck Apple has created a new Macbook. It is a Macbook Pro 13 inch screen with Touch Bar. The touch bar changes what it does depending on the application you are using. You can zoom into a picture, edit a video, and control the volume. You can also use Touch ID to buy items, and unlock your computer. The screen is very bright. If you edit movies or pictures, the touch bar would be good for you. The Macbook Pro starts at $1,799. I think this device is cool and many people will buy it. What will Apple make next.
Nintendo created a new gaming console. It is called the Switch. They have changed it a lot from the Wii U. The console and controller design has changed. Also, they made a new look on the Nintendo Switch software. Nintendo told us all of this information at the unveiling of the Switch in New York City. They also created lots of new games. I think Nintendo will be making a series of the Switch. People have been pre-ordering the Nintendo Switch. It will be released on March 3, 2017. I can't wait for Nintendo to release the Switch console. It looks very cool.
Snapchat Spectacles are selling in New York, Venice. and San Francisco. They cost from $140-$500. They are sunglasses that you can take videos with. They send it to your memories in Snapchat. You can share these videos on your story or with your friends. There is also a company that sells clear prescription lenses for the Spectacles. You can buy the Spectacles in the store in New York City. There are also Snapbots that are in some locations for 24 hours. In my opinion, the Snapchat Spectacles are cool because they take videos of what you are seeing. It's also sad that it can't take photos. This is one of Snapchat's coolest devices yet. Can't wait to see what they make in the future.

There were many people at SpaceX Mission Control center during the event. In this video, SpaceX teaches you what they are going to do before. They also tell you what is happening during the launch. At the end, the Iridium-1 landed on a pad in the Pacific Ocean. It landed right in the middle of the pad. SpaceX did a great job on this project. Can't wait to see what they do in the future. |
