Futuristic Silicon Valley! From modern, glass sculptures, to flying saucers, Silicon Valley is THE business epicenter. Imagine “viewing” it through your personal colored glasses. Accessible to Carmel heading south & San Francisco and Napa Valley to the north. New bars and restaurants to mingle and meet the new “Bill Gates.” From tech museums, the Sharks, to designer shopping at Westfield Mall, Silicon Valley is the ultimate breakthrough destination!

Google Glass     Cloak App   Sony Smart Band    The Silicon Valley Edge

 
Sony Smart Band – This band links to corresponding mobile applications to monitor your behavior! Say you’re enjoying dinner. Tap your Smartband to create a”life bookmark” which commands the device and app to remember what restaurant you’re in, whom you’re with, and photos you took. “Life Log” will also monitor your social media activity in the moment. Creepy! Basically you’re watching yourself! (WOW)

Cloak – The “Anti” Facebook app. Tired of running into your ex’s? Want to avoid that person who keeps emailing you to get together? Download Cloak immediately. Through your contacts on Foursquare and Instagram (for now) Cloak tells you positions of people you know based on their most recent social posts. If you happen to be anywhere they are, the app tells you so you can run the other way! We love it!  Sometimes being incognito is a good thing!

Google  Glasses – for those of you who cannot be out of touch – ever! Read The Silicon Valley Edge to keep you up on all the gossip!
