Happy Mothers Day

                                                                      “M” is for the million things she gave me,

                                                                      “O” means only that she’s growing old,

                                                                      “T” is for the tears she shed to save me,

                                                                      “H” is for her heart of purest gold,

                                                                      “E” is for her eyes, with love-light shining,

                                                                      “R” means right, and right she’ll always be.

Your Life in 2020 by FrogDesign

FrogDesign has envisioned what our life would be in 2020. Back in last December, they held a workshop in San Francisco and brought designers, futurists, and journalists together to imagine what we would experience in the next 10 years from now. From that workshop, ThingBook, Bodynet, and Whuffie Meter were born. The collection of illustrated concepts that envision how technology affects every part of our life, remind us to those hi-techs in sci-fi movies.

“ThingBook”
In the future nearly every visible thing will be cataloged and indexed, ready to be instantly identified and described to us. Want to go shopping? In the future we won’t need big retail stores with aisles of objects on display. We’ll be able to shop out in the world (see image, above). Do you like that new car you saw drive by? Or those cool shoes on the woman sitting across the room? All you’ll have to do is look at it and your mobile handset or AR-equipped eyeglasses will identify the object and look up the best price and retailer.

Bodynet
Like Google for our bodies, future technologies will allow us to monitor our body’s vital conditions and compute the outcome of our actions on-the-fly. So you’ll know right away what it’s going to take to work off that Burger and Coke.

Whuffie Meter
Curious about the future of social networking? Whuffie is a conceptual social Metric based on what others think of you. In the future this Metric might actually be usable as real money. Why not? Celebrities are used to getting things for free based on their popularity. This is the same idea taken to its democratic extreme. Socializing will take on completely new dimensions when we can see everything public about a person right as we are talking with them. Think dating is difficult today? Imagine the hoops we’ll have to jump through when everyone in the bar can see your complete dating history the minute you walk into the room.

The term “whuffie,” by the way, is a word coined by author Cory Doctorow in his book Down And Out In the Magic kingdom. It refers to the measurement of respect or karma a person gains or looses in their lives. In Doctorow’s future, humans have implants in their brains that visually project their whuffie, which has replaced money as currencycurrency.

The Energy Efficient Leaf Car produces Oxygen to keep the Environment Green

Leaf is the latest concept car designed by Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) that features an odd leaf as its roof, giving an impression of being eco-friendly. This innovative roof is crafted from foliage and able to produce oxygen just like a real leaf. Moreover, the leafy roof features a solar panel to generate and store electricity, and more surprisingly, it directs the car to move into a position where it can get the most suitable sunlight coverage. The wheels also contain spinning wheels that can generate electricity too when the car moves forward. This energy-efficient vehicle not only will reduce the fuel cost of operating a car, but also will help developing an emission free environment.
