The rapid growth and evolution of technology, especially computers and electronic devices, has engendered a lot of future shock.

Whore!

Some of the examples of this are rather funny…

Eggshell Speakers

These incredible and precisely crafted eggshell speakers are the brainchild of Japanese Flickr user, Gomhi.

Gomhi’s Eggshell Speakers

Each eggshell houses a Hi Vi B1S speaker driver, giving these DIY novelty speakers a light, crisp sound, though one that their creator described as a bit “narrow” and not particularly well-suited to music with a lot of heavy base sound.

I don’t even want to speculate upon the level of skill and precision it took to cut the shells for the housing. It must have been both painstaking and nerve-wracking work to say the least, since holes for the connectors had to cut and the front had to be cut to exactly match the driver housings in order to avoid buzz.

On the other hand, I’m more than willing to speculate on the possibility and hope that Gomhi will decide to craft a base speaker out of an emu, rhea, or ostrich egg to complete the set and deliver better base sound.

With only the most rare of exceptions, anytime one has to deal with computers or home electronics, the cables and wires end up being tangled.

Reasons Why Wires Get Tangled

From my experience, the above seems to be quite accurate – and funny.
