In the next few decades, everything we own—our cars, our coffee cups, our clothing, our cats—will be connected to the web. It's hard to argue that the 'internet of things' isn't making our world smarter, more efficient, and more economical. But when everything in our world is a computer, who's going to play traffic cop? Our internet runs on centralized authorities, but should it stay that way? We'll explore everything from Bitcoin and the blockchain to smart homes and connected infrastructure.
Elon Musk has joked that experts call the Hyperloop either obvious — or impossible. We believe it is possible, but we face some difficult challenges unlike those faced by most tech startups.

Ubiquitous, mobile supercomputing. Artificially-intelligent robots. Self-driving cars. Neuro-technological brain enhancements. Genetic editing. The evidence of dramatic change is all around us and it’s happening at exponential speed.
Previous industrial revolutions liberated humankind from animal power, made mass production possible and brought digital capabilities to billions of people. This Fourth Industrial Revolution is, however, fundamentally different. It is characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, impacting all disciplines, economies and industries, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human.

"Introduction about the project: Synereo is an open source, decentralized social network. It is an attention economy that rewards popular content with a cryptocurrency. Content is promoted or advertised in a way that fairly rewards the content's creator and those who choose to engage with that content. An automatic and transparent reputation economy assures that you experience content relevant to you. The privacy of your communications and contacts is baked into the structure of the network. Synereo is modeled in p-calculus and functionally programmed in Scala."

Scientists from Microsoft and the University of Washington have reached an early but important milestone in synthetic DNA storage by storing 200 megabytes of data on the molecular strands. Demand for data storage is growing exponentially and the capacity of existing storage media is not keeping pace. DNA could be one solution.
SpotMini is a new smaller version of the Spot robot, weighing 55 lbs dripping wet (65 lbs if you include its arm.) SpotMini is all-electric (no hydraulics) and runs for about 90 minutes on a charge, depending on what it is doing. SpotMini is one of the quietest robots we have ever built. It has a variety of sensors, including depth cameras, a solid state gyro (IMU) and proprioception sensors in the limbs. These sensors help with navigation and mobile manipulation. SpotMini performs some tasks autonomously, but often uses a human for high-level guidance. For more information about SpotMini visit our website at www.BostonDynamics.com

Have you ever thought of a world where LED bulbs communicate data? Well, this could be a reality in the near future. LiFi, a fresh, new wireless visible light communication technology, employs LED bulbs for data sharing. This networking wonder, invented by Harold Haas, can transfer data up to 100 times faster than that of WiFi implementations. Compared to WiFi, that uses radio frequency waves, LiFi does not exhibit any electromagnetic interference.
LiFi can be used in denser medium like sea water. It can be accessed in places where WiFi is normally un-operational like airplanes, submarines and hospitals. As light cannot penetrate walls, LiFi can be used by intelligence agencies as it offers deeply secure connectivity. Hence, highly confidential data can be easily transferred without the fear of hacking. LiFi will outrun WiFi systems in the coming years. The following infographic from cabotsolutions.com. outlines the distinction between WiFi and LiFi.

"When we first launched the 3Doodler we asked the world to imagine a pen that could literally draw in the air.
Two years on, we’ve made the world’s first 3D printing pen even better, with a new and improved version that’s slimmer, lighter, quieter, and even easier to use.
The 3Doodler heats, then rapidly cools plastic, allowing instant 3D creation; and with no software or
computers, the possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
We’ve shipped over 130,000 first generation 3Doodlers; and our community has used them to create amazing things: from jewellery, to RC planes, fully 3Doodled dresses, architectural models, and even writing braille.
It was because of the support of this Kickstarter community that we were able to make the 3Doodler dream a reality. To say thank you, we’ve decided to bring 3Doodler 2.0 to you first!
Completely redesigned from top to bottom, and housed in a sleek aluminium casing, the new 3Doodler is the result of over two years of research and development, all aimed at giving you the best 3Doodling experience possible.
The new 3Doodler is also packed with loads of enhancements, making it smoother, sleeker, and easier to use than ever before.
We’re also releasing exciting new accessories, including the JetPack, a portable power pack that gives you the freedom to 3Doodle on the go.
To help kickstart creativity in the classroom we’ve created a special educational bundle - complete with pens, plastic, accessories and curricular materials - which you can send to any school, library or
makerspace of your choosing.
If you can draw, write or wave a finger in the air you can create with the 3Doodler.
Our Community website has hundreds of projects and stencils that you can download for free; and it’s filled with how-to videos and images of inspiring creations from around the world.
So when will you get your new 3Doodler?
We’ll start shipping to our first backers within a few weeks; and the majority of you will be 3Doodling by April.
We can’t thank you enough for joining us on this amazing journey."
