I’ve written about a number of businesses that have either begun thanks to Kickstarter or are truly looking at ways to innovate and improve the world we live in through technology. I’ve recently received a prototype of a new backpack that is attractive and resembles a Swiss Army Knife. That’s not to say the backpack is all red, just that it’s quite rich in features.

 

The backpack comes with a couple of rechargeable batteries that allow you to charge your laptop, phone and other devices as well as power a portable cooler, a series of LED safety lights and an anti-theft system.

 

This attractive black/grey bag also features reflective strips for crossing the street or presumably biking, while also offering specific pockets for just about anything the modern road warrior carries, including laptops, tablets, phones, DSLR cameras, passport, pens and a security pocket I couldn’t find for a week.

 

Unfortunately, they’ve yet to begin a Kickstarter campaign, but I will update this article as soon as they do. I’m traveling Mexico City with the bag and love it. That said, check out Kickstarter’s travel section for other items that might suit you and are nearly available and looking for your funding.

Interior Upgrades Begin Rolling Out Across United Fleet

United Airlines is in the midst of a major initiative to modernize its fleet over the next several years. After first announcing the plan in 2021, planes fitted with United’s signature interior are finally beginning to appear across the airline’s narrowbody fleet of Boeing and Airbus planes. United flyers are sure to notice these enhancements from the moment they step on board: Each new or updated plane sports remodeled seats, seatback entertainment screens for everyone, Bluetooth connectivity and more, all adding up to a better experience on every journey.
