Cool Apps that Will Make You More Like Sheldon Cooper

Inventive and always joking, physicists Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki) and Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) live in a reality of their own, still trying to adjust to a world that, apparently, they do not understand. Their intelligence contrasts sharply with the sociability and ambitions of their gorgeous neighbor Penny (Kaley Cuoco).

If you are a fan of the TV series The Big Bang Theory and especially the crazy scientist Sheldon Cooper, technology is going to help you be more like him, or at least you will be able to better understand him.
