Life is hard. Luckily, humans are pretty smart and invent some great ways to deal with the complexities of life.
When we decided hanging clothes didn't dry them fast enough, we invented the dryer. When we didn't want to push our vacuums around the house anymore, we invented the Roomba. When the telephone became to scary to talk into, we invented online pizza ordering.

Here are seven relatively new technologies that will help you improve your everyday life.

Cables, cords and wires, oh my!Credit: Getty ImagesThe Juice Pack Wireless by Mophie is a case for your iPhone that makes it compatible with standard wireless charging bases. If you put your wireless charging base on your coffee table or next to your bed, you can easily pick up your phone, answer a text, and place it back without finagling with the cord.
You can even pair it with a magnetic docking station for easy use and access at home or in the car.

The Roomba is old news. Robotic floor cleaners are nothing special anymore, and pretty much everyone knows about them.
But you may not have heard about Winbot, the robotic window cleaner by Ecovacs.
Just slap Winbot on your window, hit the play button and watch it clean. It takes all the difficulty and annoyance out of cleaning windows, and if you have some particularly tall glass, you won't have to bust out the ladder to make them crystal-clear anymore.
Wi-Fi routers are fickle beasts, still prone to malfunctioning and requiring a reset, which can be a pretty annoying ordeal when you aren't sitting right next to it. If this problem is vexing your life, you should check out the ResetPlug.

You plug your router through it and it monitors the Wi-Fi signal and will automatically turn the router off and back on if the connection has been inactive for a certain amount of time. No more unplugging and replugging yourself.
As smart-home technology becomes more ubiquitous, controlling it all can become a little unwieldy.
Amazon Echo is not only a smart assistant capable of telling you the weather and playing music from your Prime playlists, it can also connect with other Bluetooth enabled devices and services.

Never worry about lining up your coffee brewer with your wakeup time ever again when you can turn it on from bed via your smartphone.
The Nespresso Prodigio is a smart coffee brewer that you can control with an app via Bluetooth.

There are countless fitness trackers on the market that will log your runs, bike rides, individual steps and more. But what about a wearable that tracks your stress and emotions?
There are a couple emotion trackers hitting the markets like Feel and Zenta, which track certain aspects of your life and let you know when you're stressed out or feeling bad.
With these wearables, you can see how certain parts of your life affect your emotions and pinpoint certain things to avoid or change to stay happy and stress-free.
