If you needed any proof at all that we're living in an online world, this one simple fact should confirm it: There are over two million apps in the Apple store for iOS devices. 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.
