iPhone Apps for Tomorrow’s Technology
Looking for iPhone apps to blow the minds of the old folks? Grandma may think the Internet is only a tool to send puppy photos to loved ones, but these apps will make her think differently. Prove to the old folks we’ve reached the age of science fiction technology with the following iPhone apps.
Google Earth – Technology delivers the world, and so does this one, at least virtually if not literally. This iPhone app shows off satellite imagery around the world in a 3D globe. It’s a great way to show off the truly astounding capabilities of the iPhone when you can view Grandma’s front porch and see how her flowers are doing. A free download, this one won’t have you buying the world just to see the earth. Unlike many other iPhone apps, this baby is completely free.
SayWhere – While typing into the iPhone may become habitual after a while, punching in addresses to look up directions is always a pain, especially when you are already lost and frustrated enough. SayWhere was one of the first iPhone apps to translate user’s speech into queries for Traffic, Google Maps, Yellow Pages or Yelp. It’s a great app as it keeps the driver’s eyes on the road rather than the phone.
SmackTalk – Feel like talking to the animals? How about talking just like the animals? This iPhone app lets you talk smack Chihuahua style. While it won’t help you with finances or directions, it’s bound to get you some laughs. The voice changing app turns your voice into a high squeaky guinea pig, puppy or kitten to repeat everything you say in a high pitched squeak or low frequency voice. You’ll sound just like a cartoon. Who said iPhone apps always have to be serious?
James Oliver’s 20 Minute Meals – Once upon a time the only reason you used a phone to cook was to call Mom for directions. This iPhone app goes a step further by putting you in touch with famous chef Jim Oliver. Get full color photos, a video as well as complete step by step instructions for a number gourmet meals to make in 20 minutes. It’s perfect for making a dinner for two. This iPhone app creates meals made easy. You’ll improve your cooking range using your iPhone as a cookbook.
