XCR1250 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 : A glimpse of tomorrow The future is here -- these advancements are staggering . . . . !!! The world's first virtual shopping center opened in Korea . All the products are just LCD screens that allows you to orde r the items by touching the screen. When you get to t he counter, your items are already bagged and ready to go. A cellphone you can bend as much as you like and it will still do everything a smart phone does. Your personal computer ring can play music, check your email, give you alerts and even allows you to browse or chat with others. Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet imgur.com Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet. This man is demonstrating the ability of his prosthetic eye, which has a camera installed in it. No longer using the camping stove just for cooking, a new line of camping stoves use the heat energy to power up lights and charge your phones or anything else you can charge by USB cable. This trash can follows you around and calculates where to stand to catch your thrown garbage! This motion tracking table morphs its surface to mimic your movements, allowing you to control objects from the other side of the planet if you so choose. This windowed door turns opaque whenever you lock it. This incredible app translates signs from video and in real time! The new 'Google Fiber' has started deploying, and will offer users an Internet connection that is about 100 times faster than what they are currently using. When did car panels start looking this advanced? A stop sign using water to project the image An example of the new E-Ink in action. An ink that stays flat on the page and can be printed but still moves on the printer page. < b>All of the functions these items that we used 20 years ago... Are now done by a single smartphone. New casts can be printed with a 3D printer, are lighte r, more comfortable and just as strong. Bionic hands are now so advanced they can perform even delicate and complex movements. Welcome to the world of Tomorrow............. Well actually, it's already Here!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momorider Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Some cool stuff, that 20 year old thing is wrong unless the smartphone can somehow print Polaroid pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Pretty cool shit. Not necessarily on this level but about 6 or 7 years ago I was moving some stuff and rented a U-haul truck. You know, bare bones commercial stuff. Anyway, My 9 (or 10) year old daughter was with me, and I asked her to roll down the window for some fresh air (smelled like cat piss in there!). She couldn't find the button. I just laughed as I showed her the "old school way". Made me feel really old. The shit the kids are doing now with smart phones and devices is pretty amazing. Hell, I still text! I didn't realize that is "not cool" anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
favoritos Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Texting is now old school? People rarely answer their phones, but texts get a quick response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
