The campus lifestyle has most kids on the move as they juggle a five-class schedule with nights of binge drinking and mornings characterized by excessive sleep and awkward social moments with last night’s mistake. Most college students have enough trouble taking care of themselves that it is a scary to think of how any kid can possibly own a pet and keep it healthy. Luckily the geniuses over at TankedCAM (no this is not a drunken reality show, but a legitimate technology company), have discovered a way that fish lovers can keep their aquatic friends alive and well through the wonders of a breakthrough iPhone application.
In my college experience I have noticed that most fish owners happen to be big party animals; I have no explanation for this phenomenon other than maybe that they enjoy tapping on the glass of the tank and seeing the fish bug out after downing a few too many Zimas. Fish are often neglected as their owners forget to clean the tank’s water or even feed their underwater buddies. Seeing opportunity in the laziness of fish enthusiasts, TankedCAM (http://www.tankedcam.com/) offers the ability to monitor the status of a fish tank while away from home.
By streaming a live video feed to your computer of iPhone, TankedCAM gives users the opportunity to feed your fish, check the water temperature and pH level of the tank, and even adjust in-tank props like that collector’s edition Pirates of the Caribbean Black Pearl ornament you got for your birthday. That’s not all, TankedCAM will even text you when the aquarium water level or temperature is not at its optimal point.
So if you have fish and like to neglect them then TankedCAM is certainly the right fit for you. Who knows what the next crazy iPhone app will be as technology keeps making it easier to keep your life in check without even lifting a finger.
