11 innovations that will change our lives tomorrow
A Life / / December 19, 2019
There are inventions that his appearance radically change the life of mankind. Look, for example, an ordinary light bulb. Today it is impossible to imagine our life without the subject, and its advantages over other light sources appear to be quite obvious. However, her path to recognition was by no means strewn with roses. From its inception in 1809 to widespread acceptance has been more than 100 years!
A century, the invention being finalized and is spreading. Maybe now we are surrounded by the invention, which can radically change our future, but we do not notice them? We offer you a list of the most interesting innovations that may become a reality within a few years. Are you ready for the future?
1. electric clothes
Physicists from the Wake Forest University have developed a fabric that works as an electrical outlet for your portable devices. This fabric used the temperature difference between different parts of our clothing for electricity generation. Thus, the difference between the temperature of the axilla and cuff shirts can be up to 10 degrees and that is enough to power the MP3-player.
2. new coffee
Currently, all coffee makers use a single technology «dark roast», that largely unifies the look and taste of any kind of coffee. But now in this area increasingly penetrate new technologies of transportation, storage and production, which very soon will radically change the familiar to us coffee. So, it is likely the emergence of coffee with orange flavor or roasted almonds, and Starbucks now offer light coffee Blonde Roast. So, very soon familiar to us the taste and dark color of coffee can become a thing of the past.
3. clever underwear
What would you say if your pants complain to you for the missed training? Hehe.
However, the Finnish company Myontec, recently started selling underwear with built-in sensors that monitor as your quadriceps work, hamstring and gluteal muscles. It then sends this data to a computer for analysis. Despite the fact that now it is underwear designed for sportsmen, very soon it can become a routine method for monitoring physical activity.
4. Antiprobochnaya system.
Recent studies have shown that very often traffic jams do not occur because of the low throughput capacity of the route, but because of uneven movement. Now it is in many countries are being developed, and some of which are already being implemented anti-congestion. It can be special sensors that collect traffic information and transmits them to the traffic lights, which will automatically change the mode of operation. Or a new automotive adaptive cruise control (A.C.C.), which maintains a predetermined distance between vehicles, thereby smoothing the unevenness of motion as the primary cause of congestion.
5. Car driver control
Initially, automobiles have learned to track the status of their critical components via a system of sensors. Today they are learning to monitor the status of the driver: make the invisible breath analysis for alcohol and track the frequency of blinking to avoid falling asleep. Tomorrow, this trend will continue and your machine will be able to stop you get behind the wheel if you feel unwell. In addition, in the event of an accident the car will not only cause the emergency services, but also be able to give an exhaustive account of the nature of doctors arrived injuries collected by analyzing the embedded sensors.
6. caring monitors
Already, there is a monitor ErgoSensor Philips company, able to track the position of your body, the distance to the screen and giving advice on the basis of correct posture. Monitors can take the time you spent at the computer, and advised to take a break, and turn off automatically when no one is in front of them.
7. remote gag
Japanese scientists have created a brilliantly simple and effective instrument, able to silence anyone. SpeechJammer is a device similar to a little fantastic gun. Being directed to any human, it via directional microphone records the speech, and then with a delay of several milliseconds through the speaker broadcasts the stream back. As a result, a person comes out of synchronization of auditory and vocal apparatus, which makes it impossible to talk.
8. soft drink
Researchers from Imperial College in London, close to the opening of the new formula of the form alcohol. Synthetic alcohol forever leave with a headache in the last problem, not to mention the other problems associated with drinking. With the help of synthetic alcohol you can have fun in a healthy way, and as soon tired to drink the antidote and instantly become sober.
9. Intelligent shopping carts
In February, the firm Chaotic Moon Labs introduced the concept of intelligent shopping carts. This truck can be considered a shopping list from your phone, then you spend the shortest route through the store to the desired display case and offer to buy some of the related products. During the service trolley will count all your purchases and take the money, eliminating the need to be all in cash. Regular customers such robotic truck can find out in person and offer to make a purchase on the basis of already studied preferences.
10. Microsensors mouth
Scientists from Princeton and Tufts University are working on a sub-miniature sensor that secures directly to the tooth in the mouth. Such a sensor can signal the occurrence of specific bacteria in the saliva, usually accompanying ulcers and certain forms of cancer.
11. Robo animals
Everyone is familiar with the positive psychological and therapeutic effects that cause pets. However, a cat or dog in need of constant care, exercise and feeding. Therefore, British Columbia scientists from the University created the so-called "smart furs". This strange-looking creature is covered with artificial fur, which are hidden under the special sensors and controllers, allowing to simulate the reaction of a living being.
While all of these inventions are almost ready for widespread adoption, of course not all of them waiting for a light destiny. I wonder what innovations can gain recognition and become widespread in the near future? What do you think?
