Researchers develop a drug-sniffing car that can pinpoint your stash. The device, designed by Dr.
Guido Verbeck of the University of North Texas and East Syracuse-based Inficon, was originally intended to measure highway pollution and other environmental applications, Vice News reports.
Our future of unlimited wealth. Technology advances are making amazing things possible: we finally have a chance to solve the problems that have long plagued humanity such as hunger, disease, energy, and education.
The same technologies that make this abundance possible are however setting the stage for the elimination of the majority of human jobs. Within two decades, we will have almost unlimited energy, food, and clean water; advances in medicine will allow us to live longer and healthier lives; robots will drive our cars, manufacture our goods, and do our chores.
5 waves of technology disruption that are just getting started. Changes in technology are happening at a scale which was unimaginable before and will cause disruption in industry after industry.
This has really begun to worry me, because we are not ready for this change and most of our leading companies won’t exist 15–20 years from now. Here are five sectors to keep an eye on: 1. 3DPRINTCANALHOUSE by DUS Architects. Step Into The Future: Meet Amelia.

Computers Are Getting Better Than Humans at Facial Recognition - Norberto Andrade. Summary: Emerging and Readily Available Technologies and National Security: A Framework for Addressing Ethical, Legal, and Societal Issues. ‘Thermal Touch’ will turn any surface into an AR touch screen. “Thermal Touch” senses thermal energy associated with a touch, converting any surface or object into an AR-enhanced touch screen (credit: Metaio) Metaio (as in meta I/O) has developed a prototype of a system called “Thermal Touch” that the Germany-based company says would allow a user of a future wearable headset to make any object touchable.
The prototype system combines a thermal infrared and standard camera connected to a tablet PC (in the future, Metaio assumes, these cameras would be built into augmented reality (AR) glasses). Google 'poised to produce 3D imaging tablet' 23 May 2014Last updated at 06:31 ET Google announced its plans for Project Tango in March A tablet computer capable of taking 3D images is set to be put into production by Google, according to reports.

Facebook launches internet.org in an effort to connect the world. Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg has announced the launch of Internet.org, a website with the goal of making internet available to 5 billion people. Currently 2.7 billion people in the world — just over one-third of the Earth’s population — has access to the Internet. Internet adoption has also grown at a rate of slightly less than 9 per cent per year. The founding members of Internet.org — Facebook, Ericsson, MediaTek, Nokia, Opera, Qualcomm and Samsung — will develop joint projects and share knowledge, regarding the Internet.org initiative.
Designer Edge Image of the Day - Super Strong Synthetic Spider Web. Kyle Maxey posted on July 11, 2013 | 3 Comments | 4393 views A Japanese company, Spiber, has just debuted it’s a new synthetic material it calls Qmonos. Named for the Japanese word for spider web, the new material has the tensile strength of steel and the flexibility of rubber. Researchers at Spiber believe that their new fiber could be used to strengthen products from clothing to cars to medical devices and space suits. Fabbing + Hacking.
