The Apple iPad is an incredible feat of technology in its own right. It has a host of amazing features at its disposal. However, the iPad could improve in a lot of ways. It could integrate a a lot of technology that is already available on the market into its operating system. There are a lot of apps available and feasible technology that could be easily become a part of the next generation of iPad's.

The biggest and most influential part of the iPad would be its camera. For starters, a better camera would be largely celebrated by the general public. Just as well, iPad's could integrate technology such as, barcode scanning into instant citations as well as using the camera to translate words in different languages instantaneously, to its advantage. These technologies already exist in app form and would benefit as standard technology in an iPad's camera operating system. Many different companies have used the camera as a powerful tool for many different scenarios, and many of them would benefit students.

The next generation of iPad's could also use upgrades in their current operating systems software. Siri could be vastly improved to be more accurate and reliable and provide videos or links to any problem. Facetiming could be improved to do group chats like Skype and other video chat systems that would aid students in group projects. Lastly, the iPad itself could be built to be waterproof for unexpected and tough terrain. The iPad is an incredible tool and could be made to become even stronger if Apple sought the right upgrades.

When you think of the future, what place comes to mind? For me, that place is Japan. Japan has held the title for most technological country in the world for several years and continues to prove its worth of that title again and again. Interested in Dimensional Elevator's that will transport you to another floor nearly instantaneously? Or how about a gun that can shoot lasers in the air? Japan is constantly making breakthroughs in technology that cannot be seen elsewhere.
Japan's newest all electric car can reach 60 miles per hour in 3.9, a feat that beats Tesla's all electric car. Japan has also produced an accessory for computers that shoots out aromas to compliment what you are watching or playing. Japan's latest breakthrough that is being unveiled this month is a humanoid robot that can recognize human emotion. The robot is so popular and advanced that a mobile phone company in Japan is using the robots to replace all receptionists at its stores. Japan is always on the forefront, pushing out ideas and innovations that are accessible to the public and found nowhere else.
