Check out some of the coolest technology at South by Southwest this year
South by Southwest Interactive 2016 was certainly one for the books. The 30th year of the festival once again brought together great minds from marketing, mobile, advertising, and more. Not to mention, President Obama made an appearance as keynote speaker.
One of the reasons a majority of people attend SXSW, however, is to network and show off the amazing app or technology they've created. It's where some of the most innovative people meet to present their ideas and concepts to thousands.

Pico Brew: Like a Keurig, but for beer lovers. What could be better, right? Having craft-brewed beer at home can be easy as simply grabbing a cup of water, grain, and hops, and loading them into the machine. Not to mention, this will definitely be the hit of any parties you throw at home.

Tile: Tile is by no means 'new'. It came to the scene in 2014, but it's still giving a common problem (losing stuff) an easy solution (track it with 'tiles', which are bluetooth enabled). You'll no longer go through the pain of losing your keys or your phone charger -- isn't technology wonderful?
