Technology's Future Potential #3

Machines, computers, or simple devices that have been created can possibly be used for many different actions for many different purposes. The video down below contains random information about current inventions or inventions in the making. The grand importance many of them is that they are first brought to existence with one sole purpose in mind whether it be for silly reasons that may not potentially be seen as progressive, or perhaps some do have the intention to assist mankind in making humans more efficient than they ever considered.
There are two inventions that really stood out among the rest to me. Those being, the Bug Juggler, a synthetic arm with sensors that mimic the movement of the wearer's arm in order to control a giant robot that juggles vehicles that is engineered by hydraulics. This machine is still in the making, but the concept of it is very real, and in the video it seems they are already well on their way. This machine could be used to forward the production speed of constructing a building, or loading heavy cargo onto a ship. The consideration of how we could implement this into so many branches of our lives and business should be appreciated with great gravity. Just imagine how it could even be introduced on a smaller scale to perform remedial every day house tasks.


The next noteworthy invention is able to produce energy through absorbing your sweat. I believe that such a device should be distributed globally to make such fluids perform multiple functions, more than what nature intended for them to be. The device is a patch that measures the production of lactate, a chemical that is naturally present in the body. The electrical currents are stored into the patch and are able to power small devices like a heart-rate monitor or a watch.
I would love to see the future advances of these devices and how they will improve their efficiency.
With my deepest hopes, I wish to see these wonderful things integrated into our everyday lives and replace methods that will be trumped by the ever upgrading machines to make possible what people could never do before, or just make it better.
