【轻松英文阅读】再也不怕丢东西了

 Do you have trouble keeping up with your things? Are you constantly misplacing items and wasting your precious time hunting for them? Then the Lapa may be what you need.

 

Lapas communicating

 

The Lapa is a device that you attach to something you don’t want to lose. When you do misplace an object with a Lapa, you use the Lapa App on your smart phone to search for it. You can scan¹ a Lapa up to 70 meters away in optimum² conditions. But the Lapa’s real power lies in its network. As a Lapa communicates with other Lapas in a network, you can find your Lapa virtually anywhere. For example, when another Lapa comes near your lost Lapa it will update your Lapa’s position automatically³, but without accessing its data. Your data is always securely protected.

A Lapa is hardly bigger than a quarter and weighs only five grams. They are powered by a CR2016 battery, which can last up to eight months and are easily replaceable. You can manage an unlimited⁴ number of Lapas with the Lapa App. You can even manage your friends’ Lapas if they need help finding them.

 

Lapas can be attached to almost anything you don’t want to lose. You can stick it on, or hang it from a string, or just drop it inside.

 

Lapa and wallet

 

Lapas even work with social media. You can share access to your Lapa with friends on Facebook and they can help you find it. Or if you choose, you can use the ‘Go Public’ feature and ask for help from the whole Lapa community. Anyone can help you search with the free Lapa App.
