When you’re learning a language, it can be difficult to remember all the words and grammatical points. If you’re in a country and trying the immersion method of learning the native tongue, then you likely have a language dictionary on hand. Of course, it can take a while to flip through the pages and find the one or two words that you need to carry on conversation.

Hotblack is a timepiece that shows off football results as well as the time
I know that some of us are still reeling from the shock of seeing how defending world champions Spain fell to a four goal deficit to Holland, not to mention how Portugal capitulated to Germany in such a manner just yesterday, losing by a similar deficit of goals. Well, World Cup fever is upon us again, and it is nice to see how the passion of the masses are displayed for an entire month, all the way through different ups and downs.

Nescafe reveals alarm clock that comes on top of a coffee jar
I am quite sure that many of us who drink coffee (tea lovers might probably want to read on and turn green like your favorite blend of matcha at the end of this story) would have had our favorite blends in mind, and for some of us, there is nothing quite like instant coffee during certain moments, such as when you are traveling and need a quick fix. All that is required would be some hot water, a ceramic mug and you’re good to go – cubes of sugar and some milk on the side would make things perfect. Nescafe is one of those brand names that definitely have churned out its fair share of quality instant coffee in the past, and this time around, they have gone on a limb to develop a limited-edition 3D-printed lid with an alarm clock which can only be turned off through the most novel of methods – by opening the coffee jar, of course!
The Pocket Watch Flip Cell Phone is far fancier than a smartphone
In this day and age, having a smartphone seems like a normal occurrence.
