15 Hot New Technologies That Will Change Everything


Memristor circuits lead to ultrasmall PCs. Intel and AMD unleash massively multicore CPUs. Samsung TVs respond to your every gesture. These and other developing technologies will fundamentally change the way you think about--and use--technology.
The Next Big thing? The memristor, a microscopic component that can "remember" electrical states even when turned off. It's expected to be far cheaper and faster than flash storage. A theoretical concept since 1971, it has now been built in labs and is already starting to revolutionize everything we know about computing, possibly making flash memory, RAM, and even hard drives obsolete within a decade.

The memristor is just one of the incredible technological advances sending shock waves through the world of computing. Other innovations in the works are more down-to-earth, but they also carry watershed significance. From the technologies that finally make paperless offices a reality to those that deliver wireless power, these advances should make your humble PC a far different beast come the turn of the decade.

In the following sections, we outline the basics of 15 upcoming technologies, with predictions on what may come of them. Some are breathing down our necks; some advances are still just out of reach. And all have to be reckoned with.

Watches this Maruti Suzuki R3

Maruti Suzuki R3


Maruti Suzuki has announced to launch its revolutionary multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) - Maruti R3 in India. Considered as a next generation compact car, Maruti R3 boosts off bold and aggressive designing. This upcoming MPV is said yo be a complete htbrid of all the features & attributes of a sedan.

Maruti R3 will be powered by a 1.2 liter petrol engine producing a apower output of 73 Bhp @ 6000 rpm. The look and features of R3 are similar to Maruti Suzuki Versa and it offers 6-seater capacity. Maruti Concept R3 offers excellent flexibility to park the vehicle easily and maneuver even in congested area. The car is expected to be be launched in 2011 with a price tag that is expected to be between Rs. 6 to Rs. 8 l

Watch Call of Duty: Black Ops will be playable in 3D

Call of Duty: Black Ops will be playable in 3D

Although most first-person shooters are 3D in a rendering sense, they are still displayed on the two-dimensional plane of a display. Because FPS games render in 3D though, it’s actually trivial to make them truly three-dimensional with the use of glasses: just add a second camera. Easy. So why don’t we see more games in 3D?

I don’t have answers to that, but for those of us who would like to play more truly 3D first person shooters, we have at least one title to look forward to. Treyarch Studios has just announced that when their upcoming Call of Duty game Black Ops launches on November 9th, 2010, it’ll include a 3D option right out of the box.

It sounds pretty useful too:

According to Puryear, an FPS was a logical choice for the implementation of 3D, thanks to the gametype itself, as well as the environments. Treyarch points out that, while you progress through the title, players will now be able to see the depth of when their character is holding a weapon, or see that cover actually looks like cover, as it has depth of field within the playspace. Whether it’s just a box or a car, players will be able to tell that it’s present on the field, and has range.

Unfortunately, if you want to play in 3D, you’ll need a 3DTV on the 360 and PS3 versions, and NVIDIA 3D Vision on the PC, so this is just a novelty feature for most of us. Still, though… it’s a start.
