Keep Track of Your Pets with DOTT the Smart Dog Tag - http://clapway.com/2015/08/02/keep-track-of-your-pets-with-dott-the-smart-dog-tag789/

A new pet tracking device will allow pet owners to track and monitor their pet’s movements via bluetooth smart technology and an app on their Apple or Android devices. DOTT: The Smart Dog Tag will start its Kickstarter campaign on August 15th in hopes of giving peace of mind to pet lovers and safety to their furry companions.

Keeping Track of Your Pets? There’s a Dog Tag and App for that!

Pet owners are a unique breed of people, especially those of us who have dogs. While it’s no secret that pet owners adore their animals, people absolutely love dogs. According to the
American Veterinary Medical Association, nearly 70 million dogs are owned, and in all likelihood, spoiled by their owners. While we love our dogs, we also need to protect them, which is where technology comes in handy. The latest technology that will be coming into the market is the DOTT, a Smart Dog Tag that allows owners to keep track of their beloved pooches via a virtual leash accessed on their mobile devices. Owners simply attach the tracking device to the pet’s collar and with Bluetooth Smart technology, your dog’s steps can be traced using a companion app. The app is available in the Apple store for iPhone users and in the Google Play store for Android aficionados.

DOTT: The Smart Dog Tag Set to Launch August 15th

The DOTT mobile app works by alerting you of Fido’s whereabouts. Whenever your pet breaks free from the virtual leash (your phone), the tracking device will notify you immediately. What makes DOTT unique is that if your animal is ever lost, the Bluetooth Smart technology uses the other members of the DOTT community to act as beacons if your dog comes near them. In essence, if your puppy strays from you and finds another DOTT member, you will be able to find your lost dog through the help of the DOTT community. The app is more than just a useful pet tracking collar; it’s also a way to get to know and help other pet lovers in the area, especially during stressful times, such as when one of the community members loses their companion. The premise of the device helps bring dog communities together in efforts to keep all animals safe, protected, and connected to their loved ones. As the company explains, the bigger the network of DOTT members grows, the faster users can respond and reunite pets to their families.

Donate to the Kickstarter Campaign and Pre-order Your Dog Tag

The DOTT Smart Dog Tag will officially kick off its Kickstarter campaign on August 15th. Other features the app includes are Lost Pet Reporting, Live Search for Lost Pets Database, and a Last Seen Location for lost pets. The biggest benefit of the technology is as more pet owners use the app, the larger network of users on the social GPS system. Whether you lose your pet after he runs away during a thunderstorm or if she slipped through the gates of the dog park, with a wide community of DOTT users, the potential for your pet to be found faster and kept safe within a network of dog lovers can give you peace of mind. Donate to the Kickstarter campaign or pre-order your pet’s DOTT so you can ensure the safety of your pet.

DOTT helps you keep track of your lost dog, but the Blink Wireless Home Monitoring System helps keep track of your home.

The First Man on the Moon"s Suit Saved! - http://clapway.com/2015/07/25/the-first-man-on-the-moons-suit-saved789/

The idea of Preservation

On Monday, the nation celebrated an incredible feat for humanity. On July 20th, 1969 NASA and the nation received first footage from the moon from Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. There, many witnessed them take their first steps on the moon and plant the US flag on alien soil.

Since the anniversary of the landing on the moon was on Monday, it was time for the world or the nation to give back in honor of the astronaut who went to the moon. The same day on Monday, as people were remembering the moon landing, the Smithsonian released news that it would be taking measures to ensure the memory of that historic moment was preserved in preserving Neil Armstrong’s spacesuit.

The Mission to Save the man on the moon’s suit.

After the topic was broached by the Smithsonian to save the man on the moon’s suit, the museum also launched its first Kickstarter campaign to raise the money to save the spacesuit. Also in the announcement they released some plans for the suit that the suit would be a part of a future gallery display called the “Destination Moon” that would open a year after the fiftieth anniversary.

The Kickstarter, which has been giving people different incentives to donate to the campaign, still has twenty-four days left to go as of today, but it has already reached the intended $500,000 goal. What good news for Armstrong’s suit!

What’s next?

So, for the remainder of the days left, the Smithsonian will use any additional money for the purpose of preserving another space suit. As for the man on the moon’s suit, it will be restored and put on display in time for the fiftieth anniversary in 2019.

For the staff at the Smithsonian, their reaction has been positive but also surprised at how fast they reached their goal for funding. Nevertheless, it was a welcomed taken back reaction. Now to wait for the remaining days to pass and see what the funds come up to and patiently wait for 2019 to come around the corner to today.
