Does
anyone remember the 1993 movie Demolition Man, with Sandra Bullock and
Sylvester Stallone? It's about a policeman who is brought back from a cryostorage prison to defeat another another prisoner who has escaped.
It is set in 2032 and
features technology that was only a distant vision back when the movie was made; like cars that can
direct you (GPS), and communicating with others while seeing them on what
looked like a hand held picture frame (video conferencing on a tablet).
Driverless cars were also featured, and now I
hear that Google has been developing this technology for a few years, but
unfortunately they aren't permitted to test their vehicle on the streets for
fear of public safety!
Another
technology featured in this movie is the ability to project images/text onto just
about any surface. It looks like that’s
another movie creation coming to life. Today
I saw an amazing video from Corning, of what the near future may look
like. As a techie-lover, this video got
me excited about what we will be able to do in the future.
Take a look a let me know what you think.
