Futuristic Technologies

From bendable displays to batteries that last for years, technology is continuously evolving. Here are some of the technologies that will be available sooner. Internet through power lines is the simplest of ideas. Instead of using separate fibre cables or phone lines, why not use the existing network of power cables to deliver data? If this enabled, one will no longer need to find Ethernet wires. One would just plug computer into the power socket for charging and it would get an Internet connection too.

Wireless Charging, one can just place gadget on an inductive mat and they will start charging. Set standards like Qi and PMA are already being used in devices and one can easily get a wireless charging mat, or opt for a smartphone case that add a wireless charging feature to device. Flexible screens are the new prototypes and research suggests that they will draw a lot less power than conventional displays.

Camera that doesn’t need focusing will let user to change the focus in an image after clicking. Since there is no need to focus while taking a photo, the camera will work faster. It captures depth information of the image and all the available light in the frame, enabling better low light images without flash and even 3D Images. Waterproof devices, there are many companies that are researching the application of Nano coating on the internal components of phones, which would make them waterproof without adding bulk to the devices.

Imagine having to charge cellphone only once a year. This could be possible with the use of fuel cell batteries which generate electricity for much longer than a Liion or alkaline battery. They do this using a chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen. Google has carried out demos of self-driving cars and there are rumors of other companies also trying their hand at developing this technology. These cars use various sensors with a computer ised vision system. The data from these is collected and analyzed by software that controls the vehicles. One can just set destinations, sit back and relax.
