The Effect of Advance Technology Towards the Society

Bioviolence will become a greater threat as the technology becomes more accessible.

Emerging scientific disciplines (notably genomics, nanotechnology, and other microsciences) could pave the way for a bioattack. Bacteria and viruses could be altered to increase their lethality or to evade antibiotic treatment.— Barry Kellman, “Bioviolence: A Growing Threat,” THE FUTURIST May-June 2008.




There may not be world law in the foreseeable future, but the world's legal systems will be networked.
 
The Global Legal Information Network (GLIN), a database of local and national laws for more than 50 participating countries, will grow to include more than 100 counties by 2010. The database will lay the groundwork for a more universal understanding of the diversity of laws between nations and will create new opportunities for peace and international partnership.— Joseph N. Pelton, "Toward a Global Rule of Law: A Practical Step Toward World Peace," THE FUTURIST Nov-Dec 2007.


 
Careers, and the college majors for preparing for them, are becoming more specialized.
 
An increase in unusual college majors may foretell the growth of unique new career specialties. Instead of simply majoring in business, more students are beginning to explore niche majors such as sustainable business, strategic intelligence, and entrepreneurship. Other unusual majors that are capturing students' imaginations: neuroscience and nanotechnology, computer and digital forensics, and comic book art. Scoff not: The market for comic books and graphic novels in the United States has grown 12% since 2006. —THE FUTURIST, World Trends & Forecasts, Sep-Oct 2008. posted by Hazlina

Flying Friends or Privacy Pests?

 

Could you imagine that in 2020, there will be this such thing?
Fitted with cameras, sensors and microphones, robot insects are flying--climbing--crawling--jumping at the chance to assist humans in search, rescue and other hazardous operations.
Robotic insects could also be used for spying.

Could our privacy get stung by robot insects?

In my opinion, it is only a matter of time before a robotic bug is caught spying. Future technologies like flying robot insects, that offer great benefits to humankind, can often be equally detrimental.

Are robotic flying insects secretly patrolling the air right now? 

The flying insect, does not have a processor, camera or a battery (it receives power from a wired tether). If it had any of those items, it would be to heavy to fly. Now add the electronics and hardware to remotely control the craft. Then tack on some more electronics to transmit or store video images and the idea of a flying surveillance insect, even one as large as the average dragonfly, seems unlikely using current technology

THE INNOVATIVE WHEEL CHAIR

WHAT IS THE NEXT....???

WHAT IS IT.....??? GUESS WHAT...???

Yeahhh....this is the new one. Interesting right? We can call this technology is "The Innovative Wheelchair". Why?? It is because this upcoming wheelchair is an innovative, fresh, manual standing wheelchair, aimed at taking the stale aesthetics of wheelchair design forward. The chair allows the user many personalisation options, to ensure that their chair, like your shoes or your car, becomes an outward expression of their personality.

As well as this, the chair features easy drive handles, with different gearing options to promote accessibility and combat shoulder injury, caused by the traditional wheeling technique. These handles can also be used to elevate the user in seconds, alleviating pressure sores, increasing reach capabilities and closing social boundaries which inhibit the lives of the disabled day to day.

This technology also will help disable people to live like a normal person because sometimes they can stand like others after just sit and see for a long time. Hope this technology will make them happy. (^_^)

DO WE NEED TO BUY PAINT IN 2020?

Paint stores will be drastically affected by the future, because the nature of the walls in houses will change. The walls will become either electronic or electro-mechanical.

In the electro-mechanical version, the walls are a series of panels that have a capillary system built in. You can change colour at the touch of a button. When you do, a different colour dye is pumped into the capillaries, and almost instantly you can change the mood and colour of the room.

In the electronic version, the walls can display any blank colour, or they can display your photos or murals. You can have custom graphics done in programs like photoshop for specific occasions (Happy Birthday comes to mind).

Rooms can be jungle rooms, or seaside rooms, or peaceful blue or disco orange. You can change the room depending on mood and circumstance. If you are having a big party, you could even make a few bucks by selling the advertising space on your walls.

WEARABLE COMPUTER

Can you guys imagine using a computer that can be weared..
my goodness,
something that we can't even dreamed off...
but I'm telling you guys, its happening and its real...
         

It’s going to be wearable, fashionable, equipped with ecological power source, holographic display, and of course, connected anytime anywhere. HOLO 2.0 is a project designed to be the next computer replacement for the future. This wearable computer offers a new user experience with its portability and ground breaking architecture. This multi function gadget allows you to keep connected to the web whenever, wherever!

HOLO 2.0 uses kinetically chargeable battery, the power source is generated from the kinetic movements of your hand. It features an interactive holographic display to establish a connection between the user and the device itself. Could we change it into a desktop computer? Well, yes, this device comes with a docking station to emit a larger holographic display which you can use as a desktop computer display at the convenient of your home or office. The main strength of this gadget is its minimal size but with a complete function as a laptop. The dimension is: 140mm (length), 20mm (width), 2.5mm (minimum thickness), and 10mm (maximum thickness).
