Technology brings us new gadgets every day but we've always seemed to be dreaming of gadgets more than we see them come to reality. We wrote about historical predictions of future technology before but unfortunately cars are still not flying and Mattel still didn't make that hoverboard yet. However, it seems like the last couple of years we've been seeing more 'futuristic' gadgets come to life and transparent screens definitely fit that (...) read more
Not too long ago we reported on flexible transparent touch screens developed by 3M. But 3M is not the only company active in this game. Samsung is also working on prototypes of flexible AMOLED displays that are apparently already in a far phase of development.Now, development of a new technology is one thing. It gets really interesting when people start thinking of how they can apply this new technology in actually products. 3M showed us a video of potential uses and now Heyon You also came up with (...) read more

A prospect to keep in mind if you decide shredding your $100 bill is worth the extra 5 minutes (...) read more
The last two weeks a few future camera concepts (products that are designed as inspiration but haven’t yet found their way onto the production line) have shown up on the internet with some interesting and noticeable features. The two concepts we show here both make use of a smart detachable body and lens system and this seems to make a lot of sense! Technology changes rapidly and electronics are made smaller and faster every year but the way light acts can’t be changed explaining why a lot of the (...) read more
