Cool Futuristic/Concept Gadgets That Really Inspire


About 10 years ago, we didn’t really expect the 1.4mb 3.5 inch floppy to evolve into flash drives 10x smaller with storage capacity as big as 32gb. The interesting thing about technology is; it’s just going to get more and more high-end but the size, is just going to get smaller and slimmer.

These concept gadgets you see before you today, have extremely high chance of getting into production anywhere in the future. For example, Microsoft’s Surface Computing Technology certainly tells us they are for real. Here’s some really cool concept gadgets, just concepts for now but we really hope it’ll be implemented, that inspires. If we happened to missed something impressive, please let us know in comment.

    Very cool, aside from the error in the title (gadgets inspire, not inspires).

    You know, the downer in this list is that
    1-most of these are just toys, not really new tech or new application
    2- some of them have been predicted (incorrectly) for years
    3-Some are just dumb. Touch screen over every surface of the phone?

    Your grammar is pathetic. Your saving grace is the items you post.

    I thought of something similar to that Future Internet Search device once, except that my thought was a transparent screen that could be used on the windshield of a car that could be hooked up to the car’s navigation computer so that you can see the map & directions without having to take your eyes off the road.
