Food, music, conductor ... Everything you need these holidays you have with these 31 apps

Succulent food in abundance, irresistible music , fabulous decoration and spectacular cocktails.Indeed, we all know the essential ingredients of the perfect fieston; components that, however, we do not always manage to combine connected.A key issue during these dates in which company meals and family gatherings become commonplace.


Fortunately, technology makes it a bit easier for us.Yes, because today we collect some essential apps to get the most out of these meetings .


To order food


Food, music, conductor ... Everything you need these holidays you have with these 31 apps


Just Eat is one of the best known at the time of ordering food at home .Its operation is very simple.We just have to enter the postal code and register to access a wide range of restaurants nearby.Precisely the location will determine the offer.In each of them, in addition to the letter, we find data related to the company, the minimum amount, etc.


There are other similar ones such as Deliveroo and ComeYa, geographically more restricted in our country.In any case, we can always use the specific apps of restaurant chains such as Burger King, Domino's Pizza, McDonnald's and others, although we already know what we opted and the variety is scarce.


Also, when we talk about ordering food quickly, we are also referring to the orders we can make through applications such as Amazon Prime Now, recently landed in our country and limited to certain cities, but that allows us to receive the Purchase in just one hour.Includes fresh products as a result of the association with different local suppliers .In addition, it usually offers discounts and promotional codes regularly.


To cook without complications

Another option we can opt for is to cook it ourselves .Something that can be done without too many complications from the hand of specific cookbooks such as Cooking for beginners and Photo Recipe.It is dedicated to the most clumsy in the field or, simply, to those who lack the time necessary to achieve impact plates.


Regarding Photo Recipe, it is ideal to form a composition of the place of the final result.In fact, it comes with more than 700 photos in high resolution and has a format similar to that of a home-based food course.We can even consult Very specific sections, write our own comments, filter by ingredients and the like.


To prepare the best cocktails



If what we want is to top off elagape with a good cocktail, Cocktail Flow is the perfect application, because it not only allows us to know which drinks have the most popular combinations, but also filter your search based on color and other parameters labeled as "classic", "alcohol-free" and so on.One of its most interesting sections is the one that suggests recipes based on what we have at home.


Cocktails-a more typical recipe organized according to the type of drink-, My cocktail bar-focused on making them with the ingredients already present in your minibar-, Drinks-which also allows us to discover different cocktails according to their components-, Mixologist-with a wide variety of recipes-and Cocktail Team-with more than 250 cocktails and even a dictionary with more than 4,000 related terms-are also highly recommended.


To take the grapes


Food, music, conductor ... Everything you need these holidays you have with these 31 apps

To encumbra one of the Spanish traditions more typical of New Year's Eve, nothing like the applications that will help us take the twelve grapes .One of the best known is iCampanadas, compatible with iOS and that, as its name indicates, emulates the typical bells.In addition, it allows us to set up a back account and a song to celebrate the end of the year, as well as customize the images.


New Year Grapes and Grapes share the same purpose.In any case, these are designed to congratulate our loved ones on the New Year at the appropriate time.Both include a simulation in which it appears the fruit, which disappears when pressed on it, in the case of the first of the cluster itself, and in the second, of the dish.


Not to take the car


Food, music, conductor ... Everything you need these holidays you have with these 31 apps

Directly related to the previous one and in the case that we have drunk too much, we have options like Uber, MyTaxi and even with Amovens and BlaBlaCar if we are forced to travel longer distances.In the case of the former, availability will depend on the city In addition, these are very different alternatives.


For example and in the case of Uber, connects drivers and interested users without being a taxi application or a transport company.In fact, it is usually cheaper and has generated controversy between the Professional Guild mentioned.This is not the case with MyTaxi, which is what makes it easier to call and follow the taxi we have requested and allows us to pay from the app itself.


As for Amovens and BlaBlaCar, they work in a similar way: it is enough to register and enter the date on which we want to travel so that different routes appear to us.In them there is the name and qualification of the driver with whom we can get in contact, a button to reserve it, and other information.The basic difference is that, although it enjoys less popularity, Amovens does not take commission .However, "fame" also implies that in this first we find more options.Obviously we can use them to visit the family.


To have the best music

A bad choice of music can end the best of the parties.Most reason to devote a little attention.Here we have multiple applications, from those of streaming like Spotify, Apple Music and Google Play Music, even others like DJ Studio 3 for those who want to surprise their guests with some tricks (increasing the volume and speed of the songs, mixing effects, etc.).


If we opt for the first, we must take into account the issue of subscription, which we can hire for a month to avoid unwanted interruptions.Also, and although it does not serve to "prick" music, Shazam is another application that will be useful during the previous days and at the disco, it allows us to know correctly what is playing , especially if we download the paid version, more complete.


To find parties



To go out to party at the end of dinner and find the busiest places and events that best suit our tastes, we have several tools.In this context Foursquare is very useful, because it tells us premises (and their type) that are closer to our location.


LiveClubs, also, is a nightlife guide that even lets us see the status of certain venues, concert halls and discos, access the site map, check if our friends are there, and has an integrated chat to flirt and chat with other people in the room.The camera also allows interested parties to take a look at the environment that is chewed in each of them.


To play in a group

To finish and thinking about those who prefer to do without the "crazy nights" and choose somewhat calmer alternatives, we find some perfect tools to enjoy in groups and that, in short , they come to replace the traditional board games.This is the case of Charadas, in which each participant must place the cell phone on his head and try to guess the character that appears on the screen asking a series of questions that the rest will answer.


An application compatible with Android and iOS and available in several languages ​​that structure these personalities in different categories (animals, artists, sports) and that gives the members of the game the possibility of doing mime, singing and a long etcetera that, of course, excludes the word itself shows on the smartphone.Heads Up! It's almost identical.


I never is another tremendously popular game that has its own mobile version, a utility that comes with the predefined questions and that is appreciated if we want to go a little beyond the typical and discover "the most dark secrets "of those around us .In fact, it has a list of more than 500 proposals.We find it for both Android and devices of the apple firm.


In this same direction, Bomba Drink points out, in which each guest must answer the question that is read on the phone screen when it is their turn and pass it quickly to another one before they "detonate".Of course, the counter is random .Also, it includes several modes like Happy and Party.


For its part, Idiotify is a proposal of assured laugh , because, as its name implies, it manages to idiot its "victim" through the headphones repeating what it reads with some delay of time and combining different speeds.Something we can even customize to complicate the matter.The result? That the listener ends up talking trumpeting for fun of those who observe him.


Finally, and for those who love strong emotions , it is worth mentioning Tomanji (it owes its name to the Jumanji adventure movie), in which we will face more than 250 different tests and challenges of All kinds, from doing push-ups, to picking up the glass in a certain way, or getting a certain number of ice cubes in your mouth for several minutes.

Internet of plants: a tomato knows as much about networks as you

The possibility of plant species communicating through complex networks, what some scientists have called the internet of plants , is an issue that has been discussed for a long time, at least 20 years.It was in 1997 when the scientist Suzanne Simard , from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver (Canada), published a study in the journal Nature on how Forest plants use complex systems where species exchange nutrients, send warning signals and relate to the environment. Although there is no scientific consensus, several investigations seem to support this hypothesis.If confirmed, as we read in a fascinating report by the Sinc Agency, the forests would act as huge structures that are articulated under the soil through a network in which factors invisible to the human eye interact and can determine the future of the climate.Understanding how it works is the challenge that even science faces. internet of plants and the wisdom of forests The premise of Suzanne Simard ...

Twitter shows the best of ourselves (it wasn't always going to be the worst)

In the era of social networks, accustomed to interact daily with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google or WhatsApp, we forget that these tools are phenomenal in the History of Humanity capable of mobilize hundreds of thousands of people in very different geographical locations in a matter of hours or even minutes. Already in the past, Twitter has asserted its more social dimension to mobilize people, companies or organizations and also, from a broader perspective, feelings of solidarity and support or also of rejection and repulses towards causes with an important mediatic impact.Recently, Twitter was once again the engine of solidarity after Dortmund's explosions as the Borussia Dortmund team bus passed on its way to the local stadium on the occasion of the Champions League match between the Borussia and the Monaco. These explosions did not have the devastating effect that they could have caused , so that everything remained in a major social commotion at international lev...

Do you know if apps with which children enjoy their safety? A team of researchers from the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) of the University of Berkeley has studied compliance with the Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in these mobile applications for the little ones, through a scalable dynamic analysis that allows the automatic evaluation of privacy behaviors of Android apps. After studying 5,855 applications aimed at children, the research concludes that most of these apps, 57%, violate the privacy of their users mainly due to the use of data by third parties. apps for children and privacy Although many apps offer options in their configuration to respect the federal law that protects minors in the United States, by disabling tracking, their results suggest that a majority of applications either do not use these options or propagate them in wrong way. In addition, researchers believe that 19% of apps for children send user IDs to third parties to show ...

Are social networks damaging democracy?

The revelations according to which Russian agents inserted ads on Facebook that tried to influence the 2016 US elections raise a disturbing question: is Facebook bad for democracy? As an expert in the social and political repercussions of technology, I think that the problem is not exclusively from Facebook, but that it is much broader: Social networks are weakening some of the conditions that have historically enabled the existence of national states democratic. I understand that it is a dramatic statement, and I do not expect anyone to believe it immediately, but considering that almost half of all potential voters received false news promoted by the Russians in Facebook is an argument that must be debated.
