Technology now everywhere
Modern technology is increasingly interfering in our private space, and furthermore, we are very attached to them. If modern man is at some distance from his beloved "smart devices", he was already beginning to experience some discomfort. But for better or worse, and the developers are looking at our relationship and say, "Hmm, and in fact we can strengthen it"!

1 Smart glasses that transform the foreign text- NTT Docomo (Japan) introduced the glasses, allowing the owner to read and translate foreign texts within five seconds. This device is somewhat similar to the classic "universal translator" of sci-fi movies, but only for the eyes.According to the manufacturer, glasses are used for special character recognition technology, and are intended primarily for users who frequently travel abroad. After the user has reviewed the text in a foreign language, points show the primary preform transfer, which will help to understand the text. Furthermore, these glasses can be used to transform any flat surface into a touch screen and manipulate this screen different virtual images which are visible only to the user. But these points there is a slightly scary side: they can display contact details of those to whom the user is looking. So with this device persecute people will be much more convenient (provided that such pursuits are your favorite hobbies).

2 Eye tracking the level of sugar in the blood- Once Google Glass glasses were released, they immediately did not like the traffic police and federal agents.However, Google still does not abandon its attempts to dominate in this area. But now she is trying to do this on a more altruistic manner, via the issuance of new contact lenses. These lenses are designed for people with diabetes, and are designed to get rid of these people from the inconvenience associated with the measurement of blood sugar levels. Diabetics there is no need to stick a needle into the body, and to be afraid to do things perfectly harmless to non-diabetics, but deadly for patients. For example, there are donuts. Lenses from Google eliminate all these disadvantages by using the measurement of blood sugar levels through the tears, and change color depending on the recorded level of sugar. In general, check the sugar will now be as easy as to get a mirror and look at the color of their eyes. One can only hope that in the course of this process will not broadcast advertisements from Google.

3 bracelets on the wrist, heating or cooling a person- Remember those times when you want to on your wrist you have installed any device capable of warm, or vice versa, to cool you down? If so, for it is better to apply to MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). It was there that three students have created a device that controls the temperature of the outside air and the temperature of the human body, and responsive to these temperatures accordingly. According to one of the creators of the device, it is constantly deceiving the human body, for example, causes the body to think that now cold. As a result of the body to acclimate to the environment and changes its
4 Bra, sending tweets- But a significant simplification of the micro-blogging for women: specially designed bra that sends tweets at a time when it is removed. One of the fitness of the branches of the company Nestle's has teamed up with the microblogging service Twitter to create a special bra, warning breast cancer.
Bra wore Maria Bakodimu, "Greek Oprah," and he passed on the message to her mobile device to a remote server, which in turn, has published new tweets in the social network. A tweet was a reminder to all women often check themselves for breast cancer as an independent verification of a lot cheaper than the regular passage of mammography, and much better than a happy ignorance. Although in fact it was, of course, only altruistic publicity stunt.

5 Tattoo, measuring body temperature- Most often, tattoos are a sort of symbol of rebellion and reckless youth. However, this tattoo is not anything like that. A team of researchers from the United States, China and Singapore has developed an extremely thin electronic record capable of adhering to the skin as well as a temporary tattoo. Record can accurately measure the temperature of who wears it and also fixes the extension or vice versa, vasoconstriction. Furthermore, it can show the status of the heart, brain and other vital organs. The main drawback of this "tattoo" is that it requires no external power, such as the battery. Although the researchers are currently working hard to get "tattooed" to work on
6 The merger of the human mind- Yes, you read that right, after reading the title. There really is meant a successful example of how one person in control brain of another person only through thoughts. Well, even with the help of the electrodes. In an experiment conducted in the state of Washington, one professor was able to control the actions of his colleague, who is at the other end of the campus. Professor Rajesh Rao and his colleague Andrea Stocco put elekroentsefalograficheskie special helmets, and sat on the opposite, and the most distant one from the other side of the campus. Rao imagined that he was playing a computer game, he represented that moves his right hand, firing a cannon. His helmet took the signal and sent it to the helmet Stocco, whose right hand immediately began to reflexively move, and tried to press the "space" on the computer keyboard, which was in front of him. Undoubtedly, in the near future, these studies will be extended, and in the long term they can be used to program the most complex
7 false memories implanted into- Sometimes our memories are about as reliable as a screen, which is used to store water. By using special optical fibers, the research team was able to manipulate the mice, causing them to think that a safe space in front of them is actually dangerous, instilling mice bad memories of this place. Researchers simply put mice in a safe area, and then used a bright flash of light in order to start the process of memory formation. Then they moved the mouse to another area, and re-started the flash, but this time, all of the mice with the flash got a weak electric shock. When the animals have moved back into the safe zone, they began to show signs of fear, simply because their brains directly linked safe zone with the pain of an electric shock.
So why should this matter? Human biology has something in common with the biology of mice. Our brain, like the mouse brain, creates memories, forming chains of cells that capture important moments for us, and which are interconnected by means of neurons. If scientists were able to figure out how to manipulate these neurons in humans, it would long ago have appeared surgery to remove traumatic memories, and to implant memories of pleasant. Furthermore, through such operations could treat amnesia and
8 implants for drug delivery- It is well known that there are people with a variety of diseases that require daily intake of various drugs. And yet we know that the daily intake of drugs is not always pleasant, and often accompanied by pain in the "rear facade."In order to somehow alleviate the plight of the sick, for it took a team from the University of Toronto, working in collaboration with experts from Harvard. They were able to create multiple implants, made on the basis of a special polymer hydrogel, and not rejected by the human body tissues. These hydrogel implants contain special cells that respond to light. Acting on the implants with blue light, the scientists were able to simulate the introduction of insulin in the body. This test was carried out on mice, so that implants still need to be improved in order to continue to be used in human
9 ads triggered by emotions- Have you ever felt that the advertisements have become too intrusive? Such as paid advertising that clinic that jumped out in front of you when you just wade watery eyes from lack of sleep? Or announcement of a new grocery store, which appeared just at the time when you were explaining to his friend on the network, you need to eat better?
There is a new technology that works in sync with the web camera computer, and scanning a person's face, looking at the screen at the time. It involved face detection and recognition of human emotions. Using the webcam, and information obtained from the above two systems, the program can determine your current mood. And the ads will be broadcast in view of your mood. Representatives of big business and international trade networks have already purchased the software in order to manipulate the potential buyers, forcing them to decide to purchase a particular product or service. Most of the time people keep emotions under control, so that access to the emotions is the key to sales. So it is possible that in the near future we will have to get used to reading news feeds, wearing a mask.

10 Bra with sensors that control your food- Fighting obesity is a lucrative market, and this sometimes leads to a very strange technologies. In Microsoft Research has recently created a special bra, which in combination with a single application for a smartphone can protect you from overeating. It works with the help of a whole bunch of sensors embedded in the fabric and measuring heart rates of women. As we know, people eat more often during times of stress. Sensors measuring heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature and speed, determine the level of stress a person. Spending a few such measurements every day, your bra will eventually be able to determine exactly when you start to get nervous too, and this, in turn, helps regulate food intake.
