Neon orange alongside stark green. Bubbly lilac font on dead-pink walls. Overly stretched lines in contrast with playfully curved Letraset prints. Childlike hippie flowers and strict Saul Bass’ title sequences. Those were the “in” designs during my teen years--the happy days of the good ol’ 1970’s.

Loud and glaring and often gaudy, designs that are reminiscent of the 1970s are not completely gone. Buildings, kiosks, subways and other forms of transportation, structures, posters, ads--all these continue to sport a lot of 70’s-inspired design. If there’s anything that appears to be missing, it’s the SPIRIT. The design spirit that was palpable back in the day seems to have disappeared completely.

When it comes to search engine optimization, most of us want to see results. But we don’t want to be waiting for too long. We want to see results soon!

The problem is that massive leaps in search engine positioning don’t tend to happen in a matter of days. I’m not saying that it’s impossible, but it’s certainly unlikely, that you’ll see a website rising in this way.

Under normal conditions, a site will tend to rise in a gradual manner. There may even be occasions when it slips down the rankings, before making a further upwards movement. This can be frustrating, particularly if you’re relying on the optimization work to generate much-needed income for your business.

The demand for technology in this day and age is staggering, and it represents one of the largest business sectors on the planet. The drive is always on for greater performance in an ever smaller space, and this development is affecting a whole range of devices, not just the computer. It was only 10 years ago that the webcam, for example, was a bulky device with a 15mm diameter lens that sat on top of your computer like some kind of odd animal. Today, they appear built into everything, and have decreased in size to only a few millimeters, whilst improving in quality. The range of objects that have electronic technology built in is quite wide today, and includes glasses, clothing and even sleeping bags. However, the glasses sector has seen a the most interest out of these areas, as the miniaturization of technology has helped them fit more and more into the lenses and arms of the glasses without compromising the function. Here are some of the most interesting models on the market, as well as a few yet to make it:

OneRiot may not be a name you are familiar with, but the company was a major player in the real time search industry. The company eventually gave up that aspect of its research and concentrated on a social mobile advertisement network.
