The Myo wristband responds to the electrical activity in the muscles, enabling users to control secondary devices like smartphones, PCs or games consoles through gestures.
Google Glass and Galaxy Gear are just the beginning. The impending arrival of Google’s super-futuristic wearable computer and Samsung’s wrist-based wonder are simply the commencement of our ascent into the realms of science-fiction. (Pics and videos)

Moore’s Law — the ability to pack twice as many transistors on the same sliver of silicon every two years — will come to an end as soon as 2020 at the 7nm node says Robert Colwell who now works for DARPA (trying to pick after CMOS technology) and was Intel’s chief chip architect from 1990 to 2001.

“Mab” flying robots.
“Mab” is Adrain Perez Zapata’s futurist concept where he envisions a swarm of tiny flying robots zipping around your house to clean surfaces, before returning to a spherical home base. Here’s the summary: (Pics)

Tube transportation is the future of transportation.
You shouldn’t give up on flying cars or hoverboards just yet. As technology continues to march on, everything will go into development sooner or later—as demonstrated by the existence of these things, which we’ll almost certainly see within our lifetimes.

Daryl Oster, CEO for Evacuated Tube Transport Technologies.
Elon Musk is a brilliant, big-thinking, subtly accented, physicist turned financing pioneer turned engineer, self-made billionaire who has led the design of revolutionary cars and rockets and he needs no introduction. Musk unveiled his idea for a next-generation transportation system on August 12th, and it got the attention of about every news organization between Earth and Mars, where Musk hopes to aim his rockets one day.

Scene from “Elysium”
In Elysium, a recently released sci-fi film, we’re presented with a new kind of machine-assisted healthcare that can cure cancer and reconstruct body parts. It’s a development that could make many humans virtually immortal. But as medical science and technology converge, we’re increasingly finding ourselves asking the question as a species: Do we really want to be immortal?

Martin Aircraft jetpack
Martin Aircraft claims it will have a jetpack ready for sale starting next year. NPR talked with Martin Aircraft CEO Peter Coker to get the details on the jetpack, which is expected to fly as high as 8,000 feet and hit ground speeds of 35 miles per hour. Unfortunately, it’s a bit big to call a pack and it’s not technically a jet, but let’s not bother ourselves with semantics when the future is at our doorstep. (Video)

Futurist Thomas Frey: Consider the following scenario.
In 2035 a heinous criminal escapes in the city of Dallas, Texas and the local police department acquires a court order to conduct a thorough search of the metro area. Within 15 minutes a fleet of twelve surveillance drones is deployed to begin an ultra high-res flyover.
Six years before the Homebrew Computer Club had its first meeting in 1969, Honeywell launched its kitchen computer – the Honeywell H316. It looked like this:

Some futurists like Ray Kurzweil and Thomas Frey believe that very soon humans will have the ability to live forever. And while they have their share of skeptics, increasingly amazing scientific developments make betting against such predictions a somewhat short-sighted gamble. Nevertheless, we still haven’t cracked immortality, although now there’s a device that has been developed that promises to actually tell exactly how mortal we are.
