From games, health and fitness, and educational apps, you can find an app to help with pretty much anything in your life. Beyond apps, there are hundreds of software as a service (SaaS) companies, making billions of dollars a year, that can help you manage everything from expense reports to data sets to legal research.

Without further ado, here are 10 technologies that I think will make you smarter, faster, and maybe even better looking.
