Summer is here and that means more free time to play with your toys. Before you break out the plastic army men and rubber dinosaurs, we’re talking about the Top 5 Tech Toys You Should Know About This Summer! So sit back, relax and plug in a charger because there’s no escaping the machines this summer (and we’re not talking about the new Terminator reboot out in July).

Lightbulb/Bluetooth SpeakerCompany: SonyPrice: Around $200Camping: one of the great summer pastimes when your habit of packing everything needs to be addressed. You must ask yourself: what supplies will I need to survive in the wilderness? That’s why multitaskers should have priority on your camping list and Sony’s new LED lightbulb/Bluetooth speaker is one of them. You’ll be able to rock out to your favorite tunes and illuminate your campsite within the solitude of nature all at once! Great for outdoor parties too.

The Kobo Aura H20: The Waterproof e-ReaderCompany: KoboPrice: $179.99Trips to the beach or pool are a must on hot summer days. In today’s tech-obsessed world, however, there’s always that fear of ruining your phone, iPod, or tablet if you bring it near a body of water. There have been too many practical jokers out there who have pushed their fully clothed friends into the water, unaware that an electronic was in their pocket. Now you don’t have to worry with the Kobo Aura H20, a fully waterproof e-Reader. You can lounge in the water without worrying about short circuiting or electrocution (no soggy pages either). With this device, you can leave your bags of rice at home.

The summer of the future is here and its toys are pretty neat!
