Thinking about passing of time, we can easily observe that life, now, is very different than life 50, 20, and even 10 years ago. Making an analogy, we can ask ourselves which will be future's or present's inventions that will change our lives, like Internet, telephone or car did along time.


I think that one of the most possible invention to be seen in the closest future are microscopic robots, which could be able to fight infections in our bodies and also clean our homes by unwanted bacterias and viruses. I would like very much to see the development of artificial organs as soon as possible, because this will help a lot people in need of a transplant, but who don't have donors. These artificial organs are much closer than we think that they are, and I hope this will be developed in the closest future.

Food caplets could allow someone to eat a full meal in a few seconds, and the companies in the pharmaceutical industry are working to develop these caplets, containing the optimum number of calories someone needs daily. I think that this will influence not only human activity directly, by transforming the time we spend for eating in an empty period of time, but it would be interesting to see how the retail and the public alimentation sectors will evolve.




Solar power is just a source of electricity now, but it is not quite economical for the production of electricity, because the costs are too high. Scientists are expecting a breakthrough in this field, in the next 10-20 years, and a step in this research domain would help a lot the humanity in it's fight with the dependency on oil.

Phone, from its simple basic, initial concept has been so much changed in time, that we can't except this device to stagnate its evolution. In the future it would be nice to see that your cell phone has an integrated carbon monoxide detector, or a health diagnosis software. Also, there are voices that suggest that phones will become smaller, lighter, simpler.

There is a hope for the blind too, because instead of tapping to find an object, they could use an ultrasounds detector device, built to provide warnings and advice in walking on the right path.

A very interesting invention, for which I am very anxious too see it working, would be some sort of device which could work on the 'plug and play' principle, and it could transfer information directly into our brains. I think that now, people are using so little of the huge capacity of the brain, and this device would minimize people's efforts for processing and memorizing information.

We are dreaming about a lot of these cool inventions for the future, and making a small trip into the past and remembering how older computers took 400 square feet large rooms to function properly, and seeing how they changed over time, we can be more are more sure about the desires we have about our future life.
