New Brand Combines Social Media with Fro Yo

Imagine eating at your favorite restaurant. The food is delicious, the drinks are cold, but instead of the normal atmosphere, it’s gone technological. Wi-fi, iPads with interactive games, phone chargers, and more, have all been implemented for the use of customers. That is the premise of one frozen yogurt chain. Located primarily in the Northeast, Let’s Yo brings the best of both world into one business.

Technology and electronics are advancing faster than even be documented. By the time a new a new TV or computer is purchased, it’s a mere months before the newest model has come out, dwarfing the former in comparison. At the rate electronics are growing, it doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to figure out that number will only multiply. Our capabilities, as Buzz Lightyear would say, will soar to infinity and beyond.

A few months ago I was at a family gathering, learning about family history and generational gaps, a normal topic for the ages. My grandmother told me a story, about her own grandmother (my great, great grandmother) on the invention of the train. Her lifetime, she told my grandma, had seen so much, that there was no way the world could possibly keep up. She’d seen indoor plumbing, the electric iron, TVs, and automobiles have made a huge transformation. Clearly, the rest of the world would never see what she’d seen; they’d see more.
