5 Predicted Lifechanging Technologies
Technology has been growing, evolving and changing our lives in countless ways. With task teams working across the globe, new life-changing technology is far closer than we think. Keep reading to hear about 5 predicted lifechanging technologies.
3D Printed Organs
3D printing has already made strides in many industries, most recently making it’s value known in the medical trade. Currently 3D printing can assist with the implants and replacement of hips and knees. Before 2040 we predict 3D printers to be able to artificially create human organs. This allows surgeons to create organs for transplants with the patients own cells. In using the patients own cells there’s a lesser chance of organ rejection. This would not only provide a faster solution, it would also make up for the lack of organ donors we currently face.
Space Travel
Travelling to space is a fantasy humans have always had. However, space travel may actually be closer than we thought. Many companies are investing time and money to turn this dream into reality. A few of these companies include Boeing, SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin and Orion Span. Check out the companies to read more about their missions.
Sound Wave Extinguisher
Undergraduate students, Seth Robertson and Viet Tran created the acoustic extinguisher. Their senior project made to extinguish small kitchen fires, captured the attention of the ARSAC (Administration of Radioactive Substances Advisory Committee). It’s safe to say the ARSAC saw their creation in a much larger picture. Soundwave technology uses pressure waves to push oxygen from the source of a flame and over a large area. This breaks the combustion triangle of the fire, removing oxygen to stop the burn. This extinguisher removes the need for water or any chemicals, which is an environmental advantage.
