‘Dongles: Size Isn’t Everything!’

We all know how handy pen drives are, but they can also be a real cause for concern… After all, having a storage device sticking out of your USB port is essentially an accident waiting to happen; especially when it measures in at a good inch or so.

And that is why micro pen drives are such a giant step forwards! They do exactly the same job as ‘traditional’ ones, yet they are so much safer to use. Gone are the days of worrying about passers-by twanging your dongle whilst you are sitting on the train.

Er, so to speak…

How Far Can We Take AI

For those of you who are not aware of AI, it is the common term for artificial intelligence. Now although some humans appear to have a distinct lack of intelligence (based on some of the silly things we tend to do), computers and dare is say it robots, are becoming increasingly intelligent. It boggles the mind to imagine how scientists have managed to configure electronics to do so many functions, simultaneously, in just a split second, but the truth of the matter is that whether we can fully understand it or not, computers are now being designed to problem solve and learn. AI could be used for so many interesting and useful things in the future, from helping as an IT service in London to being a flight attendant across the world.

The Flying Cars are Coming – No, Really they Are!

So, you thought you’d never see flying cars become a reality during the course of your life? It might be time to guess again as not only are the things becoming less of an elaborate dream every day, but one has also managed to make its way to April’s International Auto Show in New York City. With its appropriately futuristic name the Terrafugia Transition is more of a two seater aircraft than a car, though does have the regulation four wheels and light clusters front and back. For a number of years now, the Massachusetts-based brains behind the vehicle have been marketing it as a “roadable aircraft” which in a sense is the exact opposite though exactly the same as a “flying car.”…and you thought your state of the art recruitment software was advanced technology!The company has been around for ages now and has largely confined its services to general aviation, though given the number of customers who have already offered over a cool $279,000 to take home their latest creation, they’ve obviously seen there is a market gap out there waiting to be filled.

How would we live without social networks?

In today’s world it is hard to go more than a few hours without hearing or seeing reference to Twitter, Facebook or some other social networking site, as it has now become part of modern culture. What started off as a tool for friends to keep in touch and up to date on what was going on in each others lives has now become so much more than that, and it is hard to see what we would all be doing with our time if we did not have these things to keep us occupied.

‘The Force’ of 3D.

Thirty-five years ago I remember being totally wowed by a gadget I saw in ‘Star Wars’. And if you can recall that scene in the interplanetary bar (with all of the different creatures drinking their beer), then you will probably already know what I am going to say. Yes, the thing that blew me away was the holographic chess game with its animated pieces! Just imagine how cool it would be if you had one of these babies in your front room…

A Beautiful Life

Someone rightly said that the technological developments in the last 50 years have been many times more than the rest of the known civilization put together. I am quite happy to have been born in this age. All these developments have made life so much easier! But then, like all things, this too has a flip side. While I enjoy the ease these developments bring to my life, I miss the personal touch. I miss seeing people, I miss interacting with them, I miss the human touch that seems to be so rare now.

The future of portable gaming

Do you remember the times when portable gaming was something of a fiction? Well, I Do. Then the first portable Nintendos came along but it was the 1st generation Gameboy that allowed us to experience a complete gaming.

Some folks even prefer it, simply because it is portable and they can play whenever, wherever they want, no restrictions, well it is always useful when you More

Telebugs

With so much attention being given to Smartphone technology in the last year, it is easy to forget that huge advances have been made in the Television sector. Digital HD, Flat-screen LCD and 3D have all become huge drivers for TV sales across the UK. The technology involved has advanced to the point where it won’t be long until holographic technology becomes a reality. The only question consumers have at the moment though, is which is the best set to go for? More

Future View: A world without Bingo?

So looking into the future here at Space Bio, a friend of mine was asking me to imagine a world without online Bingo. “Why?” was my obvious reaction!  He explained that it was just a way to realise the value of Bingo, by imagining it wasn’t there. How would we feel? What would we do?

Well, being a selfish sort of soul, I thought about me… and that I’d be out of a job as a Bingo caller, and wouldn’t be able to write about my favourite game! But that aside, I started thinking about the absence of the particular pleasure that the game of Bingo brings to millions of us.
