Inventions makes our life easier and better than before. Time magazine listed the 25 best inventions in the Year 2017. Let’s take a look at some of them.
iPhone X
The iPhone X is a “dream come true”, says Apple. It has some wonderful features(特点). The greatest feature is that the face ID allows users to unlock(解锁) their phone just by looking at their iPhone. Another feature wireless charging(无线充电). A third fun feature allows users to create their own emojis(表情包). Just by looking at the screen, users can see emojis about themselves, such as talking pandas.
Social robot
Can robots talk to us like humans? Jibo can. When you say, “Hey, Jibo,” it will dance and turn round to you. When it talks to you, it will move its round head and big body. Although it has no eyes or mouth, Jibo uses animated icons(动画图标), such as a smile icon, to show how it feels. All of these features make it seem like a real human. Right now, Jibo can only do some easy things, like taking photos or reading the news to you. But it may learn to do new things in the future.
Fidget spinner
The fidget spinner(指尖陀螺) is probably the most popular toy this year. With a ball in the middle, it can twirl(旋转) around on your fingertip(指尖) for a few minutes. After it starts to spin, you can put it on a flat surface, such as on a ruler or even on the nose of a dog. Some people say that this little toy can help them to relax their mind. But it may not be a good thing to spend too much time playing with it.

Science and technology makes our life easier and better than before. For example, a pair of shoes that helps you run faster and jumps higher, a cup that keeps your drink warm all the time, or a cute robot that talks to you, just like a human. The iPhone X is a “dream come true”, according to Apple. It does have some eye-catching selling points. The biggest selling point is Face ID. It can help users unlock their phone and pay for things just by looking at their smart phones.
According to Apple, Face ID has to do with a camera system(系统) called TrueDepth. When the camera system sees a person’s face, it “maps” the face with 30,000 invisible dots (看不见的点). Then the system creates and saves (保存)the model of the face in the phone.
The next time a person looks at the iPhone X, the same dots will compare his or her face with the saved model. If the two match, the phone unlocks. This happens in less than a second.
Apple says that the system is smart. So if you change your hairstyle, put on sunglasses, or use the phone in the dark, then it will still work.
But Face ID may not work with twins. According to Apple, the chance(机率) of someone unlocking your iPhone X by using Face ID is one in a million. Twins will make the statistics (数据) fall down, so you would really need to make a password for twins.
Apple also says that Face ID only unlocks when you look at it. So if you are sleeping or just taking a look at the phone very quickly, then it won’t unlock.
