New Technologies That We Will Need Forever

http://www.buzzfeed.com/livestrong/10-technologies-we-wont-be-able-to-live-without-in-the-next

This article blew my mind a little bit. The technology that is being designed and invented is so impressive, and will absolutely change the world as we have come to know it. We already possess many different varieties of technology, however the ten pieces of technology discussed in this article are very noteable as ones that will make changes many of us never thought possible.

I don't even know how to choose which of these new technologies I thought would be the most influential because they all have the capabilities of enhancing life for different groups of people.

The technologies included in the article are the following:
1. Advanced genomics and personalized medicine (saving lives based on individual tumors and injury zones). 2. Injury-Proof Car (think of all the lives that would be saved from deadly car crashes). 3. 3D printing (similar to cloning, only non-living items can be recreated and printed). 4. Prosthetic limbs that restore the feeling of touch (this allows amputees to gain back their body part, and be able to feel the things that they are touching as if it was the original body part). 5. Portable laser pens that heal wounds (the laser in the pen welds a wound allowing it to heal better and faster). 6. The sunscreen pill (this pill will be able to protect the human body against getting sunburn). 7. Robots (these robots are actually being put to good use). 8. Brain-controlled prosthetic devices (that will allow paralyzed patients to move again). 9. Smart glasses to help blind people see. 10. Injectible tissue engineering (has the potential to treating damaged joints and this may become more developed over the next decade).

It is weird to me that the science fiction of the past, is not only occuring in the present-day, but humans are actually developing further past the wildest dreams of the past generations. The technologies being invented are so extravagent, detailed, and intelligent that it is hard to decipher what is fact or fiction anymore since all of these seem to good to be true. And all of this in the next decade... we'll have to wait and see what actually happens, and which, if not all of these will come true.
