What would you say if I said your roof could be so much better? Why am i asking you about your roof on a tech blog? If you thought there was nothing cool about such things, think again. The roof above our head is a grossly outdated piece of human existence that has remained unchanged for decades. That’s all about to change with the Thermeleon roofing tiles. What’s so special? These futuristic phase-change polymer gel-filled tiles developed by MIT students...
If I ever thought I would hear someone say that a “camper” could be cool, I would have chuckled and laughed at that individual, convinced that this person was a few fries short of a happy meal. Now if they were talking about the C3 Hotel Cube (designed by Jianbo Huang & Ting Zhao), I would agree — campers are cool again. As is standard with pretty much any concept vehicle, future tech rains in on several fronts. From electronically controlled...
Nothing says hi-tech and “futuristic” like a good ‘ol fashioned laser beam (even better when attached to shark heads…..) As more people take to the streets on foot, collisions with the metal giants that are automobiles increases. It’s a sad part of life. Technology is a great thing that makes the world go round more efficiently. Why not use that technology in new and innovative ways? Introducing the “Laser Walk”. The point of...
How would you like to have the added peace of mind knowing that when you need a flashlight to work, the Emergency Illuminator won’t ever fail you? Flashlights of yesterday required big “C” or “D” sized batteries that were heavy, bulky, and expensive. But the Emergency Illuminator by mPower isn’t your ordinary flashlight. Even the dual mode battery power feature isn’t that hi-tech. What causes it to gain that techie...
Living in a big city has it’s obvious challenges. Simply navigating the streets in a timely fashion often means countless life threatening decisions and maneuvers as you cross the urban landscape. Falling even a couple seconds behind can mean the difference between getting home at 5pm and 9pm — all because you missed that one subway or bus. Smartphones and mobile apps are becoming increasingly ingrained into our daily lives so much so that many cities have...
You may thing there isn’t anything “technological” about a parking lot. It’s a simple mass of various minerals and compounds that are unmoving, unchanging, and wholly static. People, it’s a concrete slab for crying out loud. What could it do. While all sorts of energy regenerating technologies can be incorporated into the concrete floor that covers large swaths of cities, one thing that many people tend to over look is how to prevent waste...
