Could technology replace pills and prescriptions?

   

Bioelectronic medicine may one day let us tap into our own nervous systems.
Imagine a day when you go to the doctor and, instead of a prescription on paper, you come out with a tiny device attached to your nervous system and possibly a new app on your phone. No more worrying about what time you have to take a pill – all you need to do is let technology do its business. Believe it or not, this day may not be that far away.
The human nervous system is the bioelectrical infrastructure of your body. Now imagine you could hack it. Welcome to the field of bioelectronic medicine. It’s an area that asks: what if, instead of using drugs to treat a condition, implants could control and tweak our body’s functions? What if, somewhere down the line, you could combat a tumour by harnessing your neural signals?

The idea may sound far-flung, but the research around it has roots in one of the most common bodily responses – one that most of us have likely experienced at one point or another.

Apple break silence on car project

For the first time Apple has publicly hinted at its ambition to enter the car market, roughly two years after the company was first rumoured to have embarked on a secretive electric car division dubbed Project Titan.
Despite the project being shrouded in secrecy, much has been made about the Californian-based company looking to compete with the likes of Tesla and Google by entering the autonomous car market.
In a statement to the US highways regulator, Apple all but confirmed it is working on technology for self driving cars.

“Apple uses machine learning to make its products and services smarter, more intuitive, and more personal,” Apple’s director of product integrity Steve Kenner wrote the regulator.
“The company is investing heavily in the study of machine learning and automation, and is excited about the potential of automated systems in many areas, including transportation.”

Where Technology Intersects with Everything

Today the technology beat focuses less on the technology itself and more on how technology intersects with and transforms everything people care about—from politics to personal relationships. Many of the writers I spoke with acknowledged that covering technology has matured beyond just writing about tech as a subject—the “tech beat.” Meyer explains his tweetstorm on the subject further: “There’s just this understanding now that technology is necessarily intersectional . . .It got boring just writing about technology all the time, and it stopped being new, so it was like, ‘Where do people go now?’ The answer is understanding what [tech] crosses over with, what [tech] intersects with.”

Many other interviewees concurred there has been a shift in the nature of coverage in the last few years. Any publication that once concerned itself with technology is now more focused on the intersection of technology and something else (e.g., culture, politics, labor, etc.) Tech is no longer the story. It’s a core part of what’s happening, but it’s not the subject. This can also make for a confusing definition of what, exactly, constitutes technology coverage. John Herrman, a David Carr Fellow at The New York Times, shares, “You’re not really writing a tech story [anymore]. You’re writing a set of stories about labor and about business, maybe about law . . . It’s hard to say what makes it a tech story.”

The Internet is changing the way we use our brains!

Easy access to the information highway via the Internet is changing our ability to learn, remember, and solve problems through the use of our brain, say researchers at UC Santa Cruz and the University of Illinois. The more you rely on the Internet to a kind of information, they add, the more likely to continue to use technology to collect new information in the future. With so much free information available, it is difficult for those who are studying this phenomenon, find out how much information comes from our brains these days, and how much is taken online.

The future of sex? Robots

Technology is being introduced fast in every aspect of our lives and it is not long now that this will make it even in the bedroom.

Ian Pearson has published a report which tries to predict the future of the relationship between man and his intelligent creatures; robots.
The report deals with many things, but most unsettling is his prediction that within little more than 3 decades, intimate relationships between man and robot will exceed those between human and human.
Dr. Pearson says he has reached this conclusion by analyzing the propagation speed 'sex toys' in the last century, but also the spread of pornography.
"Very soon, pornography through virtual reality will become a common phenomenon," he says.
       

Among the predictions made by him it is that 2030 people will see through virtual porn stark realities just as today browsing adult sites. Precisely in this period, he says in the report, will appear before the robots forms the "bedrooms", that because of the price of salt will be purchased primarily from wealthy families.
By 2050, these robots will evolve and their price will drop significantly, enabling a massive expansion. He estimates that this market can cost more than 10 billion dollars after 2050.

Phone Charge in a few seconds !!

The phone load power at least once a week and for a few seconds. This dream can become reality thanks to flexible condensates created by nanotechnology experts at the University of Central Florida.

These devices are capable of quickly Suhm feed energy compared with traditional lithium batteries having durability for over 30 thousand cycles phone food. This is said in the journal ACS Nano, and it could revolutionize technology for electric cars.

The secret of these condensates based on new two-dimensional materials with the thickness of an atom. Many research groups have tried in the past to use these kinds of materials, such as graphite, but asksush failed to use their potential.

American group led by Yeonwoong "Eric" Jung has won this technological challenge using chemical synthesis, realizing condensing thread composed of millions of microscopic Reclothed two-dimensional material.

In this way, the "heart" with high conductivity facilitates the transfer of electrons to speed feeding of the phone, while repairing with new nanomaterials has a higher density of energy and power.

But the advantages do not end here: if lithium an ordinary smartphone begin to provide food problems after 1500 cycles, these super condensers retain viability for over 30 thousand cycles.

The production process of these devices, which will soon get a patent, "is not yet ready for trading," but represents an important proof in principle. Our study proves a powerful impact that will have more technology, "says Jung.
