Repel Mosquitos – there’s an app for that

I saw so many fun stories while on the road this week – reading and watching news sources I don’t usually see. Apparently there’s an app that repels mosquitoes. The reviews are mixed at best. But the app is free. It might be worth trying (for Android or iPhone).

I had my daughter check these out for me while we were driving. She also found a repellent app for dogs. (I know, comment if you will, but I am afraid of dogs.) It opened up a whole world of apps I had never considered before. And helps make the point that broadband isn’t just to do things faster, or bigger or buy more or get access to information. It large ways and small is can really change how we do things.

Now if I can just find a sunscreen app!

  1. I saw that mosquito app too and immediately told my wife. Mosquitos LOVE her (because her blood is so sweet, she says) but based on what I saw from the video, the number of mosquitos on the phone while the app was running kept me from downloading.
