‘People who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do…’ said Steve Jobs.
On April 1,1976, Apple computer was created and the computers people know have never been the same anymore.
The future isn’t coming, it’s already here.
In a world that’s changing faster than ever, we have put together a few inventions that make today feel like the future.
Neural Headphones
What if you have a headphone that tracks your brain and monitors your focus level? What if you have a headphone that knows how you feel and adapts the music for your current mood?
The neurons in your brain produce electrical signals, the EEG sensor incorporated in the neural headphones record them. The data is then processed and interpreted by AI to understand the status of our brain and perform tasks accordingly.
This brings neurotechnology to our everyday lives and could potentially enhance our efficiency, focus level, elevate mood and use as a therapy tool in clinics.
Humanoid Robot
Imagine a life with humanoid robots doing all the chores for you, cooking in your kitchen, folding laundry, cleaning your house……That might only be something seen in the si-fi movies before.
But when you see the Boston Dynamics Atlas does his training： Or the Figure Robot does washing at home：
Our chores are almost ready to be sorted.
Innovative Plastic Replacement Technology
Plastic has been one of the biggest challenges we face at the moment. Plastic waste that ends up in the ocean, almost used-up fuels, micro plastics that get accumulated in nature and in the human body eventually…
This is something that we never want to happen to our kids in the future.
Fortunately, there are a lot of breakthroughs in inventing alternative materials replacing plastic.
Different natural fibers have been selected to replace plastic packaging, mushroom, seaweed, sugarcane….the options are expanding.
A lot of them offer superb biodegradability and compostability, some of them are edible.
Although challenges still persist for each new material, ongoing research and technology innovation will eventually overcome the obstacles one day.
Final Thought
Technology is quietly reshaping our daily lives and unfolding endless possibilities for future generations. The world and mother earth can be so much better if we keep making positive impacts.
The future is here already.
