10 Inventions that will change humanity in the future

The future that appears in science fiction movies is closer to us than it seems. New technologies are already changing our world considerably. They even restore the ability to walk to those who could not, strengthen the human body or simply provide comfort to our lives.

O awesome.club chose 10 inventions that are already part of our daily lives or that will become common in human life in a short time.

At Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne (Switzerland), researchers have been working to create a device that will help many paraplegic people regain bodily control. The small but important device is made up of two parts: a chip placed in the brain and another in the spinal cord.

After trauma to the spine, the conduction of nerve impulses to the brain continues to send orders, but these signals do not reach the muscles. The cerebrospinal interface duplicates impulses from the nervous system and allows recovery of movement. This has the potential to change the lives of many people in the future. The invention is in the testing phase.

There are already apps that monitor the steps we take during the day or guide our diet. In the near future, with the help of biosensors, smartphones will be able to measure the amount of calories present in the food we eat, control the amount of oxygen in the blood, perform electrocardiograms, and so on. Thus, diagnoses will become more practical and accessible.

Personal robots are already a reality, but Jibo, billed as the world’s first social robot, is much more than a stationary speaker with colored lights. This device reminds me more of Eva, from the cartoon wall-e: it can move, express emotions, dance, laugh, react to your call… in short, it can become a true companion for a human being, which takes our relationship with these devices to a whole new level. Of course, Jibo still has a lot to learn, but today it is ready to be mass-produced and could very soon become part of our everyday life. Here, you can see how it works.

eSight 3 is the name of this powerful device. When the wearer puts it on their face, the super glasses records a video that, with the help of various algorithms, turns into something that a visually impaired person can see. More than a thousand patients have already been able to expand their senses with these glasses! The eSight 3 intro video can be viewed here.

The dreams of everyone who can’t stand the dentist’s “motor” are coming true. Brix 3000 gel softens the area affected by cavities, making them easily sealed by the professional. The procedure is completely painless and, in the near future, punctures will just be a memory.

Faster, higher, stronger: that’s how the new Futurecraft 4D sneakers from Adidas help the wearer move. The product’s secret is simple: the soles are manufactured using 3D printing, and individually adjust in size, shape, flexibility, impact resistance and finishing characteristics. In the future, the sneakers will be printed directly in stores, but for now they are produced according to the company’s calculations, based on its long experience in the sector.

Correct diagnosis is the key to successful treatment, but even the most experienced physician cannot know everything about every possible disease, clinical study, and symptom. Remember, even the brilliant Dr. House used to make mistakes. But IBM decided to fill in the imperfections of human memory with a new invention: “Dr. Watson”. During the patient’s consultation with the real doctor, “Watson” collects all the world literature that may be relevant to the case and gives his diagnosis. Afterwards, the doctor analyzes the machine’s estimates and gives the final result. We hope that with the help of this invention, medicine will become even more effective.

The cars will also have an amazing device: airless tires with adaptable structure. Michelin’s new product is made of a porous yet durable material that doesn’t need to be inflated and doesn’t suffer from punctures. The main feature in the development of the item is a 3D-printed protector that can be altered to adjust to weather and road conditions. The tire itself does not need to be changed.

Chances are, right now, somewhere in the world, a robot surgeon is performing an operation. DaVinchi manufactures equipment that helps perform high-precision surgery, even over long distances.

In medical schools, modern doctors are already teaching not only the art of working with a scalpel, but also the art of controlling this type of machine. Robots, in turn, evolve to perfectly reproduce the doctor’s hand movements. On the one hand, surgeries will become more complicated, but on the other, more reliable and accessible, as the doctor will be able to perform operations anywhere, connecting to local equipment.

“I am quadriplegic and I recently wore an exoskeleton. My therapist holds me up so I don’t fall, because crutches are usually in front of me. A few days ago, I took 826 steps!” This is how a patient with tetraplegia (partial or complete paralysis of all extremities) described his experience with this new invention. Now, about 3,000 patients are being trained at the Ekso Bionics company, to learn how to handle it.

This device not only helps with movement for people with paralysis, but it can also be used to perform heavy physical work. In Korea, some workers are already using exoskeletons to become faster and stronger.

The company Halo Top produces ice creams enriched with proteins and in different flavors. They are made with stevia instead of regular sugar. Of course, you can’t call this a totally light food, but even a person who is controlling their weight can afford to consume a portion without remorse: half a liter of dessert has only 360 calories. That is, 100 grams of the product have 72 calories. This helped make Halo Top ice cream one of the top selling products in the US.
