Does our future hold flying spaceships, technology that answers us, or robotics that steal jobs from humans? I personally think our future looks bright and full of amazing technologies as we get closer and closer to the year 2020. Robots, improved communication tools and I even read somewhere that we can even be playing video games using our own brain waves according to University. of Washington Researchers are working to find new and improved wireless technologies and there have been rumors that they are designing battery-free wireless devices. How amazing could it be? One thing that I see becoming very popular and promising will be wearables. I certainly do! To add, a Queen’s University researcher has created a Star Trek-like human-scale 3D video conferencing pod that allows people in different locations to video conference as if they were standing facing each other and Parisian researchers have developed a system 3D navigation for the blind using a pair of glasses equipped with cameras and sensors like those used in robot exploration. Wouldn’t this be amazing? On another note, researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a more efficient data transmission approach that can increase the amount of data networks can transmit by 20 to 80 percent, while researchers at Rice, Penn State, spliced ​​carbon nanotubes with boron to create reusable oil. soaking sponges that hold promise for environmental cleanup, among many uses.

So we’ve talked about many of these amazing devices, now what about the vehicles of the future? What do you see coming? Have you heard of Lamborghini’s new limited-edition $4.3 million Veneno? Introduced last March, the 750-hp AWD carbon-fiber supercar received much praise and criticism, both for its extravagant (even for a Lamborghini) design. If you want to go a step further, you can take a ride on the The newest public transportation vehicle JR Kyushu Japan Regional Railway has become the first company in Japan to build a luxury cruise train, spending about 3 billion yen (29.9 million US dollars). The Seven Stars Cruise Train comes equipped with the latest motion control technology, 14 deluxe rooms, two deluxe suites, three presidential suites, a lounge car, dining car and bar.

All of these emerging technologies are exciting and definitely worth your time. But who will be able to afford these technologies when they become a reality or when they are incorporated into our daily lives? I think the answer here is that we’ll just have to wait and see! What ideas do you have for our future?
