List of Profound New Technology Innovations of Future

Written by inAm from http://www.temptingmagazine.com on April 8th, 2010 | 2 Comments

New technology innovations mold our lives in unbelievable ways and whole socio-culture follows the pattern unknown before. Think of two major emerging technology landmarks; internet and mobile phones, you will get the idea how strongly it can influence our lives.

The growth of mobile data has exceeded the voice data for first time last year. With growth of 280% in past two years and reaches to exabyte which is equal to one billion gigabytes and is reported to double every year for next 5 years. Similar is the case with internet usage which is increasing at a rapid pace.

Take a look at an awesome video compilation of how technology is advancing:  Did You Know 4.0 ??

Here is the list of profound innovations that are yet to overwhelm the way of life.

1) Global Climate Control

Forget the modest goals like stopping mother nature from raining on Olympics and green technology group ideas. Geo-engineering plans to do alot more and is hot topic for National Academy of Sciences, the American Meteorological Society and the White House science advisor.

Ideas include lofting reflective particles up into the atmosphere to divert sunlight and cool the planet, or seeding the oceans with iron to encourage carbon-gobbling algae blooms. Even billionaire Bill Gates joined a patent filing on an idea to slow or stop hurricanes, by deploying a fleet of ships to churn the ocean and cool the warm surface water that fuels such storms.

Climate control technologies have almost become reality, which raises the question of whether scientists and policymakers want to risk the side effects of such schemes.

2) Regenerate the Body

What would you do if you loose a limb or an organ ? You will probably stay handicapped for rest of life or in worse cases you might even die. So how does an artificial body part sound to you? Well thats not far!

No one has regenerative powers just yet, but patients can expect a growing array of therapies to repair or entirely replace organs in the human body. A British team grew the world’s first artificial liver from umbilical cord stem cells in 2006, and other researchers have since found that even the heart may harbor stem cells capable of regenerating the organ.

Adult stem cells have also helped restore eyesight using a patient’s own healthy eye stem cells in an Australian study, and Chinese scientists demonstrated the potential of adult stem cells by creating live mice from reprogrammed skin cells. The future of individually-tailored organs and therapies may soon arrive.

3) Know it All Guide

Internet now have information of almost anything and everything! Why not use it for our daily lives? This new gadget can do just that for you.

People could eventually hold a hitchhiker’s guide to everything that they see. Pick up a carton of OJ in the supermarket, and nutritional comparisons about that brand would appear. Flip through a new bestseller in the bookstore, and reader reviews might flash on the pages.

MIT has already unveiled a prototype of such a technology in 2009, which combines a webcam, a projector and a smart phone to link the Internet’s vast array of information with the real world. Such wearable devices would work together with embedded “smart” systems and tags to create an augmented reality, where staring at a street might bring up GPS coordinates and a local map. In the 21st century, information reigns supreme. Read more about this sixth sense technology in our previous article.

4) Around the World in 90 Minutes

Ever wondered how long it takes to go around the world in passenger airplane? Well quite alot ! but soon you will be able to fly around the globe in just 90 minutes.

Phileas Fogg took 80 days to go around the world, but travelers may eventually hop halfway around the globe in less than an hour. The U.S. Air Force and Brazil are developing a Lightcraft concept that could someday ride laser-produced explosions into the sky, and deliver passengers or cargo around the world. Barring that wild ride, space planes that could take off and land like regular aircraft have begun undergoing serious development in the U.K. and United States, and some could fly within the next few years.

5) Hack the Brain

Scientists have been working off their brains to understand brain. Finally they have reached a landmark, they have created a brain of mice! So how long are we from Human Brain? A decade at max.

Much of the human brain remains a mystery embedded in billions of neurons. Now researchers behind the Blue Brain Project have announced plans to create a functioning, artificial human brain within the next decade. They have already modeled part of an artificial rat brain using the IBM supercomputer Blue Gene, and said that the simulated brain cells have even begun self-organizing without human intervention. Success in reverse-engineering the brain could lead to a model for biomedical testing, as well as a better understanding of human consciousness. The researchers only caution that it’s no artificial intelligence … at least, not yet.
