Technologies of the near future
Modern science and advanced technologies have reached a level of development that will enable us in the near future to get supernatural physical and mental superpowers any fiction superhero.
The following eleven device invented by scientists and innovators, just beyond the boundaries of our understanding of human capabilities:
1. Flying at an altitude of 2, 5 kilometers
While technically this device can be considered as "experimental Microlights," the company «Martin Aircraft Company» New Zealand has no doubt that now, thanks to their invention, people can fly.
Soon new aircraft «Martin Jetpack» will be available for sale for $ 200 000. According to the calculations of developers Martin Jetpack can reach speeds of 100 kilometers per hour and climb to an altitude of 2, 5 kilometers, and keep in the air for half an hour.
2. Telekinesis
Two companies - Neurosky MC10 and created a device that allows one to manage the various objects by thought. The device operates in a well-known brain using electroencephalography "neural dust" - miniature chip to be implanted under the skin. Thus, we will soon be able to include, say, a coffee maker, but after thinking about it while lying on the couch.
3. Predicting the future
New software called «Recorded Future» holds about 100 million events from the past, present and future. This technology uses algorithms to collect and analyze all the information, as well as predict possible future developments.
Of course, this product could not be interested marketers, investors and security services in order to be able to predict the future. The Pentagon has also launched his own project, which uses the same data in real time to study the reaction of individuals and crowds on certain situations in the future.
4. Cloak of Invisibility
Legendary invisibility cloak, which is part of pop culture today is closer to reality than we could imagine. Scientists from the military and research institutions are working on a device that is able to refract light around an object that will allow him to disappear from sight.
5. Acute hearing
Hearing acuity in dogs is much greater than ours. They can distinguish between very high frequencies - up to 45 kHz, and coyotes - right up to 80 kHz.
There is good news for people who are envious of the abilities of animals. London company «Industrial Facility» is developing a new device called "super-beam formation." It is similar to ordinary glasses and has four microphones that create a three-dimensional ear, so people will be able to hear the coyotes.
6. Reading thoughts
Who would not want to be able to read minds, for example, your boss or a lover? Such a device would be able to open the front man of unlimited possibilities. At the same time, this is not always able to apply exclusively to good use.
However, this did not stop the team of scientists from Yale University to try to read the thoughts of his subjects using brain scanning, which allows the reconstruction of images appearing in a person's head on the basis of neural activity.
One of the study's lead author Alan Cowan noted that further development of this technology can be useful in the study of consciousness of people with autism, with racial and gender bias or being drugged.
7. Superhuman Strength / Speed
Company «Raytheon» presented its new development - the exoskeleton through which a person with the most mediocre physical data will be able to lift up to 90 pounds of weight a few hundred times, without expending much effort. This costume can be easily punch fist package of four trёhsantimetrovyh boards.
And this is only the beginning. Thanks to the advent of nanotechnology and materials, such as graphene and cadmium arsenide, we stand on the threshold of the "golden age" exoskeletons and inhuman super-powers.
8. Breathing under water or artificial gills
For lovers of diving this novelty may be the most anticipated. Named «Like-A-Fish» («like a fish"), this system allows the gill to extract oxygen directly from seawater.
Developer Artificial gills Alon Izhar-Bodner suggested to reduce the pressure of the sea water in a sealed chamber. This will restore the dissolved oxygen in the water in the gaseous state. Carbon dioxide is released when the pressure decreases when the cover is opened. The thus obtained oxygen gets into the oxygen tank.
9. Bionic vision and microscopic vision subjects
Currently, researchers at Washington University are developing bionic contact lenses, which are expected to help the visually impaired, as well as give an opportunity for people with good eyesight to see what is difficult to perceive visually.
The lenses will be equipped with a navigation system, Internet access, and even games. This development will be something like a "smart glasses» Google Glass, only bionic lens will be much more advanced.
But science does not dwell on this, now Tokyo-based «JEOL» designs microscope that will allow us to increase the facilities of 50 million times their original size.
10. Walking on the walls
New invention of scientists from Cornell University, which will feel like a hero fiction film, to be called "the quick adhesion." It controls the surface tension to occur adhesion to any surface. Probably cosplay superman coming soon to a new level.
11. Clairvoyance
Nigel Kerner has created a fantastic microchip called «Soul Catcher 2025" ("Soul Catcher 2025"), which will be implanted in the skull behind the eyes to record the feelings and even thoughts of man.
Dr. Chris Winter of «British Telecom» believes that this technology combined with advanced biogenetics ever allow a person to recreate physically, emotionally and spiritually, that is, in fact, will be created a kind of database of all human knowledge.
