Lying down on my couch I was missing my cellular phone, which I lost accidentally. I was feeling as I am living in an island all alone where I cannot contact my friends and family, and all the connections from the world have been broken down. I realize that there are many inventions of science that are really blessings. They have wrapped our world in an amazing way; we cannot even imagine our life without them.
The last century has proven itself as the luckiest one for the living beings of this planet earth. Electricity, telephone, computer and internet are among those inventions that have really changed the world and the lifestyle of people. These life-changing developments gave us a lifestyle which is new-fangled and luxurious.
Ground breaking discoveries, scientific advancements, rapid change in technology are at their boom in this era. World is shrinking day by day due to these inventions and it seems as the advancement in technology has no edge. Many “wow” inducing inventions are awaited which scientist believe that they will change the world in beneficial way. In this article I accumulate six inventions that are assumed to change the future of the world. These inventions are listed below with their description.
We have previously featured 20 such inventions and here we present 6 more of them.
6. Real life Tricorder
What will bring change? Portable size and feasibility.
The inauguration of the pocket-sized device by general electric in February 2010 has given us a hope of revolt in medical field. In this unveiling, a small medical scanner named as VScan was proposed. It is just like a portable ultra sound machine which is operated by thumb and has amused doctors, paramedics and battlefield medics by providing convenience to do ultrasound anywhere and anytime. This device will soon replace the bulky and institutionalized equipment of hospitals. It will soon take a prominent place in first aid box and paramedic team will be able to take ultrasounds and identify internal injuries right at the spot of accident. It will also give a mediumto change the quality of healthcare in the rural areas where hospital is at days away.
5. Human Exoskeletons
What will bring change? Connection with nervous system to act directly according to brain signals without muscle control.
The human exoskeletons which have applications in military and medical fields will produce a dramatic change on the future of the world. Several models are already exist with difference in their potentials and are capable to transfer over 200 pound weight to any territory with minimum efforts. Technology like microcomputers are used to translate your movement into the suit but its future versions are assumed to have the ability to tap directly to the nervous system allowing quadriplegic to control the exoskeletons without entailing muscle control. Test result shows that these exoskeletons can reduce stress on the knees and give its user physical strength to perform task of running and walking comfortably even those tasks which they cannot do on their own power.
4. Force fields
What will bring change? Completely new concept extracted from fiction drama that will wrap the world as a protective shield to save it from harmful radiations from outer space.
f you have seen star trek then your mind can recall that there was a force field which was present in it’s everyepisode. Yes, this idea was driven from the most popular star trek and scientists are making it a reality now. The idea proposed by the scientists is that an artificial version of Van Allen belt will develop, which forms magnetic field around the earth, energizes the atmosphere and protects it from harmful radiations of sun. Several attemptshave been taken in this regard, one of the researchers team used the plasma bubble while other made loops of wires to form simple magnetic field by passing current through these loops for experiment. The technology seems to bevery promising although it is in the primitive stages of development.
3. Synthetic brain that works like the real deal
What will bring change? More neuron neocortical column and more capabilities to work even better.
A model of synthetic brain is already built at Argonne national labs in United States. This model consists of 10,000 neuron neocortical column which is run by an extremely powerful IBM Blue Gene/P super computer. Apart from the fact that human brain has billions upon billions of neurons and it is also very difficult to understand its complex functionalities, some of its processes are understood and they can be used to carry out a first step for futuristic approach. Scientists believe that they will learn from mistakes and predict that they will reach their aim of making synthetic brain someday. The synthetic or blue brain is a hope for an invention that will change the world and might give us a new human like creature which will be helpful for human beings in researches where existence of man is not possible.
2. Rapid, low-cost, perfect DNA sequencing
What will bring change? Extraction of 100 percent accurate information
DNA sequencing is a technique that is used for clinical diagnostic and developed at the Boston University by research team. In this method a solid state nanopores which are tiny pores on silicon chip are used for the first time. DNA molecules are detected when it is passed on the pores they detect DNA when it is passed on the pores and encodes DNA molecule by reading the identity of four nucleotides. In order to add feasibility in the method, researchers employed optically based method with the nanopores system to read DNA sequence. According to the scientists this method will helpful in probing multiple molecules simultaneously, thus scaled up its usage. This will produce a huge effect on humanity since DNA can be read up to 91 to 92 % which leaves immense chances for errors. The upcoming generation DNA sequencing is also supposed to identify the turned on and turned off genes which is lacking in current DNA sequencing. The rapid, low-cost and perfect DNA sequencing will revolutionize the healthcare industry and researches.
1. Wireless electricity
What will bring change? Complete independence from wires.
With the collaboration of several teams like university of Florida and engineers of MIT, the ways to broadcast and receive wireless electricity have been developed. Since magnetic field has no harmful impact on human body, it is utilized in the development of wireless electricity. The main idea for the implementation of wireless electricity is that every house will have a wireless charging stations and broad cast systems for wireless electricity. These broadcast devices for power will automatically detect electric devices to charge up and power many devices concurrently. It can charge up mobiles, laptops and other electronic accessories that are present over two meters of distance. This idea will change the way of house and office furnish. Although the system is already in use by many institutes but there is still a need to spread its usage in wide range.
