Top 8 Sci-Fi Technologies And Gadgets That Actually Exist
5) Password pill
Are you constantly worried about your online security? Sick of having to remember those pesky birthdays and pet names as your passwords? Motorolla’s got you covered. They’ve developed a password pill. All you need to do is swallow this baby and you’ll be able to sync up with your devices via Bluetooth in just a few seconds, after the acid in your stomach dissolves the pill’s outer shell. The signal won’t stop until the transmitter leaves your body, so you’ll have a few hours if you clench it up.
6) Exosuits
After watching Iron Man and the Avengers everyone and their dogs want a hi-tech suit of flying armor just for kicks and giggles. The US (and probably many other countries) has been developing the exosuits for the military for a few years now and they’re making incredible progress. Some prototypes are already being tested in the Middle East and have proven to be extremely useful. What awaits us in the next 10-20 years – an army of iron men flying through the sky?
7) Modumetal
Modumetal is the closest thing to Wolverine’s adamantium we have right now. It’s tougher and lighter than steel and will soon replace it and other metals. Modumetal’s now being primarily used by the military to create reinforce armor but it will soon migrate to other branches like planes, cars and eventually buildings.
8) Optical camouflage
Ralph Ellison’s novel “The Invisible Man” was one of the first big sci-fi stories dealing with the idea of people becoming invisible but that kind of invisibility will probably remain fiction forever. The scientists did however manage to create something equally fantastic – optical camouflage. It makes you blend in with the environment as if someone set your opacity to 70%.
