BUS 449 Post 1

Hello everyone, my name is Ivo and I am a student at the American University in Bulgaria. I have created this blog to share some amazing gadgets and gizmos that can entertain and aid people throughout their everyday life and would be particularly useful for college students.
                Today, I would like to share something I got recently as a gift. It is called “MaKey Makey” and is a simple, yet an astonishing source of entertainment.



What it does is that it simply turns every object that conducts electricity into a button from your keyboard. Simply put, you can make a piano out of bananas, video game controller from a notebook and a pencil, a keyboard and a mouse from morning cereal etc. It is easy to set up, fun to use and does not require any installation, drivers or powerful computers to run. It hides no danger for the user except, maybe, laughing too hard =).
From a student point of view, one can easily download a console emulator and make a controller from his notebook and thus save tons of money on games and game consoles. Otherwise, the potential for decorating the dorm room with sounds and effects is unlimited – by putting here and there surfaces and connecting them to “Makey Makey” you can turn your room into a fun place to be with tons of surprises hiding in every object people lay their hands on.  

So, don’t hesitate, check the official website and the video on YouTube that I posted below and become the inventor your dorm has always lacked.
