Sneezing? Itching? Must be that time of year again! Many of us in the Washington, D.C area are no stranger to the dreaded pollen season and the allergies that come with it. We aren't the only ones.

Apple, Microsoft, IBM, Google, Ford...these are just a few of the innovative technology companies that are pioneering the way to an even more digitally connected future. Wondering how Ford made its way onto this list? While the automaker might be primarily known for its new Ford vehicles, the brand has also been honored for its contributions to the rapidly-evolving tech-world as well.

Normally, you wouldn't expect dogs, basketballs, and shopping carts to be involved in testing a new Ford model. Then again, the 2013 Ford Escape isn't any ordinary auto. It contains certain advanced technologies that require a bit of out-of-the-box thinking.

As each day passes, more and more companies are turning to smart phones to conduct business, interact, and engage with their consumers. Not only has Ford chosen to get in on the technology, but our favorite automaker has created an intriguing app solely devoted to its 2012 Ford Focus Electric.

Sometimes, the mirror deserves a second look. No, Jerry's Ford in Alexandria isn't encouraging vanity. What we mean is that the often overlooked vehicle part warrants a little attention and praise now and again. Especially when that mirror displays innovative technology from Ford.

Everyone knows phones are getting smarter by the minute. However, consumers craving technology may not realize that vehicles are seeing some pretty clever updates as well.
