Technological advancements that will help us in our live

We live in an ever-changing world in time of technological advancement. Today we already beginning to see things that people only dreamed about or saw in a Sci-Fi movie. Here is the list of these inventions. See if you find something you already knew about.

1. Google Glass
I'm sure you already knew about it, but nonetheless it's still a step forward. Google, has built a pair of glasses that work as a real life HUD - giving you access to the internet and thus real-time information on things in your line of sight. Google searches and video recording are all available with a few spoken commands. Downside is that people are not ready for this change. Most people think that they will lock like idiots in those glasses and some are afraid for their privacy.

2. 3D printing
By now most of us already heard of 3D printers. Printers that can print nearly any size and shape 3D object from a virtual model. But they have come pretty far by now. On top of being able to print objects using plastic, glass and metal this machines are now capable to print fully edible food like mash potatoes or chocolate and even living cells. There is already developed self replicating 3D printer. Say hi to "The Matrix".

3. Self driving cars
The Google Self-Driving Car is a project by Google that involves developing technology for autonomous cars, mainly electric cars. Google are a bit hush on the specifics, but it seems that the car operates by using sensors to detect its surroundings and 360 cameras to map out direction. It is operated by a piece of software called 'Google Chauffeur'. Google's car has already done test runs around San Francisco and it completed over 300,000 autonomous driving miles with no problems.

4. Real live universal translator
It really does exist. The Sigma Voice Translator is a little device that you simply speak in to in one language and it repeats your sentence in another chosen language. It can translate your speech in to more than 25 different languages and is so advanced that it can actually translate what you meant, not just what you said. And apparently it's quite accurate with it translations which is actually pretty awesome.

5. Bionics
Bionics means a replacement or enchantment of organs or limbs by mechanical versions. Last year an amputee Denis Sorensen was given a bionic arm that allowed him to feel sensation of touch. The technology is still young and arm itself is robotic-like, but this revolutionary prostatic could change the lives of millions of people.

6. Powered armor
The main function of a powered exoskeleton is to assist the wearer by boosting their strength and endurance. They are commonly designed for military use, to help soldiers carry heavy loads both in and out of combat. In civilian areas, similar exoskeletons could be used to help firefighters and other rescue workers survive dangerous environments. The medical field is another prime area for exoskeleton technology, where it can be used for enhanced precision during surgery or as an assist to allow nurses to move heavy patients. Various problems remain to be solved, the most important is the creation of a compact power supply powerful enough to allow an exoskeleton to operate for extended periods without being plugged into external power.

  1. When I read news about such modern inventions I am terrified. I have seen The Terminator and Robocop many times and I am scared of what may happen if machines gain AI. Google Glass, nike self-lacing shoes or flying board are cool gadgets but powered armour in wrong hands may be extremely dangerous. Men would say that self-driving car is a perfect invention for women but I personaly love driving and I would prefer to control my car, not the opposit way.
