Minority Report comes to life

I want one. The most incred­i­ble part of this to me is that it only took 6 years to go from a sci-fi movie con­cept to an actual prod­uct. Devel­op­ment of “impos­si­ble” gad­gets is becom­ing so fast, at some point the word impos­si­ble will just drop it’s pre­fix. Where will we be in 20 years? In 1988 I was two, the inter­net didn’t exist, TVs still had pic­ture tubes, and a video watch was the “impos­si­ble” device. It turns out that a video watch isn’t very use­ful, but we’ve done even bet­ter: the iPhone or Android not only pro­vide video (and the time), but music, inter­net, and a plat­form with lim­it­less possibilities.

It’s hard to imag­ine the “impos­si­ble” gad­gets from 2028. My best guess is that most of them will be robot­ics. Right now, our idea of an impos­si­ble robot is WALL-E. We may not be able to cram all of his fea­tures into a robot (it’s a car­toon after all), but I think we will have arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence that is con­vinc­ing enough that we will have robotic friends, or pets. We will love them, and they will love us.

What impos­si­ble gad­gets would you like to see in 2028?

    i think they were too dis­tracted by all the hand ges­tur­ing i was doing in my expaina­tion — word.
