tech ttttttttttt Receiving a GoPro Hero3 White Edition was one of the most versatile and inspiring gifts I’ve ever received. Why love the GoPro so much? It’s simple; who wouldn’t want a virtually indestructible camera that’s able to capture in amazing quality all the exciting things you do that would otherwise only be relived through memory. One of the perks of a GoPro is it’s incredible bang for your buck, whether you can function with a simpler version or you’re a professional looking to produce high quality videos they have a model for everyone.

GoPro’s are known for their hands free functionality but rest assured they make accessories to fit nearly any scenario you might dream up. Whether you’re like me using a helmet mount while riding my horse or you’re a surfer who needs to secure it to your slippery surfboard they’ve got you covered. Overall the wonderful thing about a GoPro is having it will inspire you to get creative. Who knows you might find a sense of adventure you didn’t know you had, and if you do you can get it all on tape!

Our generation has been obsessed with recording and capturing everything we do and now you can instantly print it too. A company called Socialmatic is taking the nostalgic concept of the printable Polaroid and merging it with futuristic technology and the social media trends of today. They’re calling the production of the new camera a “silent revolution.” Not only can you take a picture of your favorite latte in 14-mega pixel quality but you can print it instantly making it ready to share with the world both virtually and physically. It is marked to come

out in the first quarter of 2014, and we know photographers and “Instagrammers” alike will be lining up to get their hands on this stylish new gadget. The next big tech purchase of the new year just might not be a smartphone, because the thought of being able to snap and share your favorites moments and then plaster your dorm room walls with them seems pretty tempting.
