Flying Car

When I was a child I was very fascinated about how aircraft is used to transport people from part of the globe to the other very quickly. Then I got the feeling that a day will come when cars can fly like aircraft. 

I thought about this about 30 years ago and just found out that car that can fly have been invented and tested. The idea was that it was easy to make and aircraft the can drive like a car than inventing a car that can fly. 

Flying Car

The idea of flying car has been featured in James Bond movies for long, but the idea is becoming reality. I have been thinking of flying cars for more about 30 years ago. I have also study the theory of flight and believe the idea of flying cars will be future innovation.
CNN.Money.com (2013) reported that, flying car will become reality in 2017, which is very soon than I thought. It reported that AeroMobil, a Slovakian company, plans to start selling its creation, the AeroMobil 3.0, in 2017. Wikipedia.org (2016) also reported that many prototypes of flying aircraft have been built since the first years of the twentieth century, but no flying car has yet reached production status.

Solar Powered Mobile Devices

Two future technologies I believe will happen is how to power mobile devices, laptops and smart and free Internet connection for all. I believe the current power system for these devices are not efficient and also not accessible to everybody. For example many places in developing countries don’t have constant electric power supply which is need to charge laptops, smart phones and tablet. The new innovations I think will this happen is solar charge laptops, smart phones and tablets. I have seen DIY solar to charge mobile devices. But I believe by 15 years, solar power supply will be embedded into the devices to charge the device.  This will be very possible because there are solar driving car. Using solar power to charge mobile devices will be very useful for millions of people around the world.The next technology is free Internet for all. 

Free Internet for All

Recently Face book started to roll out Free Basics Internet to developing country.   The project which was name Internet.org in developing countries was met with criticism that, partial Internet violates open source application ideas. But this idea of free Internet will eventually happen by 15 years when every human on earth will be able to get information from the Internet.
