Top 10 Future Technology Gadgets We Want To See Sooner

June 14, 2016 By Toby Isaacson Leave a Comment

Future Technology Gadgets

Source

In the last decade, technology exploded. It was barely the beginning of the third millennium when we were still playing around on our flip-phones. Barely a few years later, smartphones were spreading among the general population like wildfire. We suddenly had 3D LED TV’s, tablets, highly intelligent phones, Oculus Rifts, and plenty of other pieces of future technology gadgets that we thought would take decades to enter our homes.

So, now that it’s clear that we can definitely overdo ourselves, those futuristic gadgets we’ve all been dreaming of might suddenly not be so out of reach anymore. Below, you’ll find a list with examples of technology that might become a reality in the future, but we really wish existed right now.

#1 Total Virtual Reality

We know that VIVE and the Oculus Rift are a thing, but that doesn’t mean that this whole virtual reality business can’t be even more developed. It’s definitely nice to be able to completely immerse yourself in a game or imagery, but it’s safe to say we could all do with being able to live a secondary life inside a virtual world.

#2 Perfect Prosthetics

VR is something we do for fun, but prosthetics are serious business. They’ve been a reality for a pretty long time, but we still have ways to go before we can create the prosthetic that can fully replace a lost limb. The good news is that we are currently developing bionics with senses of touch, so the future really is near.

#3 Robot Assistance

Yeah, we’re lazy. But it’s a pretty normal thing to dislike doing dishes after a long day of work, right? Life would be so much easier if we had (non-evil, wanting to take control over humanity) friendly household robots to cook us breakfast and vacuum the carpet.

#4 Facial Recognition

If there is any type of technology that needs to be constantly evolving, those are security systems. Hackers might finally have trouble gaining access to important information if we learned how to incorporate facial recognition security systems. Have fun trying to falsify DNA, folks.

#5 3D Food

It’s definitely nice to be able to print out a full-fledged 3D plane model, but there are surely much more practical uses for it. Imagine the huge technological leap if printers were able to also put out edible food. Admittedly, given the fact that it takes hours for the printer to do its work, it’s probably a good thing that we’re still holding back on that one.

#6 Less Wires

Generally speaking, the less wires there are, the bigger the comfort. We’re talking about how big of a nuisance tangled earphone wires are, how annoying it is when your charger isn’t long enough, and when you trip over your laptop charger and plug it out. Just find a ways to give us fewer wires, please.

#7 Headjack Learning

We definitely said we’re talking about technology that might become a reality in the future, but there are some things we just won’t stop wishing for. Aside from a lot of confusion, Matrix also gave us a device which would help us bypass years of education.

#8 Universal Translators

Even though there are already some functioning prototypes out there on the market, we have yet to see a fully functioning translator. Language barriers are becoming more and more annoying in a time when we all talk of unity and globalization.

#9 Teleporters

Alright, we get it. Teleporting yourself from one place to another sounds too good to be true, but it’s hard to believe anyone would mind a teleporter that would help us deliver a trail of freshly baked cookies to our friends.

#10 Jet Packs

Yes, they’re coming. Yes, they’re turning into reality. Soon, we will be literally able to fly. Even though jetpacks are still a work in progress, we can’t help but wonder what we’ll realistically use them for. Taking panoramic photos of cities without using drones?

5 Summer Staycation Quick Ideas

July 22, 2015 By Anne Burwell Leave a Comment

We’re living in a fast rhythm, running from one place to another, in over our heads in to-do lists, stressed by deadlines and setting up alarm clocks ever earlier in the morning. Under these circumstance, planning for a vacation can turn out to be a pain. Fortunately for you, we have 5 Summer staycation quick ideas that will help you unwind. None of these require plane tickets or booking expensive hotel rooms and you can try them out even today, on your way home from work, or the next time you’re home alone and have some spare time on your hands.

1. Head over to the green areas

Summer Staycation Quick Ideas

You might have noticed some green areas on Google Maps, but if you’re like the rest of us, stuck in your routine, with no holiday in sight for the next year, our suggestion is to find the closest park to your home or office and visit it as often as possible. You’ll be amazed at what you can find just around the corner from your block: a serene pond, old trees or even freshly mown grass can be amazing stress relievers. And if you’re feeling even more adventurous, go ahead and pop your roller blades on your feet and just let the wind brush through your hair.

2. Log off

Summer Staycation Quick Ideas

It’s become an unhealthy reflex to continuously check our phones. We turn to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram almost compulsively to like, re-twit and comment on pictures. With this in mind, we have an experiment for you on the weekends: switch your phone on airplane mode and go about your day without logging in any social media platform. Just take time off to pamper yourself and don’t even think about adding a check-in on Facebook or tagging the friends you’re hanging out with. You’ll reset your reflexes and discover you can go even longer periods of time without gliding your fingers on shiny screens.

3. Homemade remedies

Summer Staycation Quick Ideas

Like we’ve said, you don’t have to look too far for simple ways to make yourself feel better and more relaxed. How about turning your bathroom into a SPA room? You can do this for yourself or your spouse in a matter of minutes, using things you already have laying around your house. Simply quickly light some scented candles, draw a bubble bath, take out that foot massage device you almost never use, spend time on your manicure and pedicure and google a few DIY face masks you can make with stuff you already have in your fridge. This is what we call considerate splurging.

4. Cha cha cha!

Summer Staycation Quick Ideas

If you’re already applying the tips and tricks we suggested above, here’s something new for you to try. Throw a thematic party for you and your friends, coworkers or family members. What does this imply? Hand crafting some decorations, if that’s your cup of tea, or playing it safer and buying everything ahead of time. Make everything more interesting by asking your friends to wear costumes or to come up with game ideas. And if you’re a fan of Japanese movies, host a Saturday night Japanese thrillers marathon. Good at dancing? Bust out your sequin dress and dancing shoes for an authentic cha-cha performance.

5. Step out of your comfort zone

Summer Staycation Quick Ideas

Oh, the dreaded routine of going to work and coming back home, with the slight variation of swinging by the grocery shop! We’ve all been there at some point. One way to overcome it quicker is to start experimenting new stuff. Remember that brochure you received about dance classes, cooking lessons or painting courses? Or maybe you’d like to give acting a try and pick up some tricks about public speaking to boost your confidence? Don’t sacrifice your leisure time in favor of your job and don’t let routine pin you down forever.

Crazy Gadgets That Have Got to Be Worth Giving a Try

October 26, 2014 By This Blog Rules Guest Leave a Comment

The world is full of crazy gadgets but which ones are worth giving a try? The following are some that look weird but that might just enhance your life.

The Metal Detecting Sandals

Crazy Gadgets

Have you ever considered the possiblity of finding a treasure trove of buried Roman coins when you go on a beach vacation? It would certainly help to pay for all those trips to the local bars to get wasted every day. These sandals look comfortable enough that you might forget that you are looking for gold in the sand until the unit starts beeping uncontrollably and you fall to your knees to thank the good Lord.

The Ostrich Pillow

Crazy Gadgets

Sleeping in the airport is one of life’s most difficult things to do, right up there with listening to an entire Leonard Cohen album and standing on one leg while waving your arms round in circles. I once tried combining all of these things but fell over and woke up before So Long Marianne had even finished or my flight had been called. The Ostrich Pillow might just have helped me.

The B Tourist

Crazy Gadgets

Do you long for a bit of privacy on long flights? With the help of the B Tourist you can get up to all sorts of unsavoury stuff which only the passing air stewards will be able to see. They’ve seen a lot worse, so that won’t be a problem.

The Bone Fone

Crazy Gadgets

Why did this thing never take off in the way it deserved to do? The Bone Fone is the product of that grey area where technological innovation crashes into utter nonsense and comes out battered and bruised. Basically, it’s a radio that sends sound waves through your bones. I can imagine that it is good for followers of Metallica, Megadeth and possibly even Spinal Tap. Probably not so exciting for Leonard Cohen fans. You might still get lucky and find an old one for sale online.

The Travel Bidet

Crazy Gadgets

Having the ability to effectively clean my nether regions while travelling is an issue that I haven’t ever spent too long thinking about. However, upon some gentle reflection just now I can see that it is a good thing. Just think; while you are seated in a plane you could slip on your cunning B Tourist contraption for hiding behind and then give yourself a good clean.

The USB Pregnancy Test

Crazy Gadgets

Do you want to know if you are pregnant but find the idea of peeing on a strip of paper just so last century? In that case, you want a USB pregnancy test. Trust me, you really do. It works pretty much in the way you would expect it do, so you might want to practise squatting over your laptop just now.

Anti Wrinkle Glasses

Crazy Gadgets

We all worry about the wrinkles round our eyes once we get to a certain age. Thankfully, you can now live in a wrinkle free heaven thanks to these glasses. I was going to try and explain how they work but the pictures on the packaging explain the concept far better than I ever could. They even give you back a little smile, so they’ve got to be worth a try.

Yummy: Deep-Fried Gadgets

June 13, 2012 By Vernon Gadson Leave a Comment

You ever been so hungry you deep-fried your laptop? No? Well, that’s what Brooklyn-based New Zealand still life, art and fashion photographer Henry Hargreaves seems to have done, as you can see below. Inspired by an experiment in which electronic products were cooked and eaten (that experiment didn’t go very well), Hargreaves has deep-fried a whole assortment of gizmos, from MacBooks to iPods, iPads to headphones, and photographed them.

“I like to play with food and the juxtaposition of different worlds,” Hargreaves told the Huffington Post. “Also I see similarities between tech culture and fast food. Quickly devoured and then discarded.” But Hargreaves hasn’t used actual electronics for his pieces: they are in fact made of a material called ‘foamcore.’ Still, the pieces look magnificent, and perhaps a little tasty – anyone else hungry?

Siri, Why Don’t You Understand Me? [Infographic]

June 6, 2012 By Vernon Gadson Leave a Comment

For those unfamiliar with murderous computer system HAL 9000 from Stanley Kubrick’s science-fiction masterpiece “2001: A Space Odyssey,” Siri is a totally cool, totally handy and totally unterrifying piece of artificial intelligence. Launched in October 2011 as part of the iOS 5 system for Apple’s then-new iPhone 4S, Siri (Speech Interpretation and Recognition Interface) is a personal assistant that fits right in your front pocket. With speech recognition software built into its noggin, Siri has the ability to perform multiple tasks for its user with just the utterance of a few brief commands. Among many others, these tasks include making phone calls, sending text messages, surfing the net, recalling stored information and even recommending nearby restaurants – yes, Siri knows where to wine and dine.

It all seems very helpful, but some iPhone users are not so satisfied with Siri’s system, or perhaps don’t trust it as much as Apple may wish them to. This is shown in a new infographic from OnlineDegrees.com, who take a look at statistical data, opinion polls and interesting facts surrounding Siri and its users, as you can see below. The results are fairly mixed, but it looks like Siri is nonetheless here to stay, and may even take over human society to become our vicious technological rulers – all hail Siri! [Read more…]
