uture and tech innovations
both never fail to surprise
us. The tech revolution
isn’t a destination, it is
an on-going journey that
starts with conceiving an
idea and turning it into a utility. We
may anticipate what might come next,
but the uncertainty element of both is
super exciting and captivating. Some
ideas can make our regular lives
easy or exciting, and some ideas can
dramatically change the way we do
things in our daily tasks. Let’s take a
look at some promising technological
innovations that are expected to
radically reshape and improve our
lives in the next couple of years.anaLYticaL undieS
Inventions can really get into
you, literally! Myontec, a Finnish
company, that’s into making smart
sportswear made a tech that can
measure the electric impulses
produced by our human muscles.
The skin tight undies are embedded
with electromyographic sensors
that send data of your workout to
a computer for analysis. These are
mostly meant for athletes and their
coaches to keep a close watch on
the former’s performances. The
concept of smart sports clothing
was still syncing when this came like
another level of innovation.hYperLoop
The world is becoming smaller
as we can travel more distance in
lesser time and Hyperloop aims
to beat the distance and time
barriers with its breakthrough tech
in transportation. It is apparently a
joint venture of SpaceX and Tesla
that proposed a train-like vehicle
which brings airplane speeds to
ground, safely and sustainably
through tubes with minimum
friction at a speed of 965 kmph.
Hyperloop technology is still in
development even though the basic
concept has been around for many
years and is expected to be up and
running by 2021.depreSSion detectinG
bLood teStAccording to the 2018 reports of
World Health Organization, more
than 300 million people worldwide
have depression, and many of them
aren’t even aware of this psychological
problem. These are expected to grow
in the coming years; hence Ridge
Diagnostics are working towards a test
that could detect depression in adults.
Eva Redei, a professor at Northwest
Feinberg School of Medicine also
acclaimed identifying molecules in the
blood that were related to depression.
Well, if it rolls out successfully, it will
help a lot of people to understand and
fight depression.Harsha Prerana
