20 Mindblowing Concept Laptop Designs. Technology.am (July 1, 2009) — The technological trends change very fast.
If you are not able to change with technology then new technology makes you outdated. So, we have to keep an eye on the past and future trends of technology. Initially an idea makes a concept which in turn takes shape and then we see the products based on that concept in the coming days, months or year. Enlisted below are such concept laptops which may be a trend of our future. Fujitsu’s Turn Table PC Aspiring DJs to scratch and spin digital media files on the Turn Table PC, a prototype of a combo system from Fujitsu that can serve as a notebook or as a digital turntable.

Amazing Military Robots Climb, Haul, Run Like Living Things. In previous decades, we had fantasies that, by this time, robots would be doing our jobs and all of our household chores so that we could live lives of luxury.
We’re still not quite there yet, but robots have started doing things we never even considered they’d be able to do. We use them in law enforcement and military settings to disarm bombs and check out unsafe situations. We use them to learn more about the environments of our own planet and others. And some people even use them to beat their friends at video games. But some of the most amazing work in robotics is being carried out by Boston Dynamics. RiSE may be small, but it’s packed with some pretty amazing technology. The BigDog robot gained worldwide attention for Boston Dynamics. The new project from Boston Dynamics that’s getting lots of buzz these days is Petman, which the company describes as BigDog’s big brother. Designerscouch #thecritiquenetwork.
