LIFE IS CARBON. "The primary element that makes up more than 99% of all matter in living organisms is Carbon. It has a great ability to bond to other atoms so it becomes easily capable of creating multiple bonds. This ability makes it the basis for organic life." https://lnkd.in/e9UN6pm View in LinkedIn

THE PROGRAMMABLE WORLD MAP. "At each stage of human evolution we have used the tools and knowledge of the day in our efforts to achieve control of our bodies, our minds, and our surroundings. Now on the horizon are new kinds of tools for programming our world, from the micro to the macro-scale, from our minds and bodies to our cities and ecosystems." http://www.iftf.org/our-work/people-technology/technology-horizons/when-everything-is-programmable/when-everything-is-programmable-forecast-and-technology-cards/ View in LinkedIn

SENSORY VEST. "As humans, we can perceive less than a ten-trillionth of all light waves. “Our experience of reality,” says neuroscientist David Eagleman, “is constrained by our biology.” He wants to change that. His research into our brain processes has led him to create new interfaces — such as a sensory vest — to take in previously unseen information about the world around us." https://www.ted.com/talks/david_eagleman_can_we_create_new_senses_for_humans?language=en View in LinkedIn

SENSORY GATE. "Just as movable type democratized literacy and fueled massive social change in the 15th century through growth of written information, haptic experience will pave the way to something new in the 21st Century: new ways of learning, exploring, sharing, and understanding the world through direct sensory experience – transmitted, simulated, or recorded." https://lnkd.in/ekfsrwg View in LinkedIn

3D INFORMATION. "Today, even with our high-end mobile devices, high-definition displays, and digital surround sound, the experience delivered is still something outside ourselves, only as close to us as our eyes and ears. Digital information remains two dimensional: something we look at, listen to, and read about. Haptic touch is the missing piece, the sensory element that will transform information into experience." http://www.immersion.com/docs/harnessing-human-touch.pdf View in LinkedIn

HAPTIC WEB. "Today it’s keyboards and mice, but I expect interactions, conversational interactions, gestural interactions to be normal . . . including the possibility of haptic interactions – touch. Not just touch screens, but the ability to remotely interact with things." (Vint Cerf, Father of the Internet, September 4, 2008). http://www.immersion.com/docs/harnessing-human-touch.pdf View in LinkedIn

SIXTH SENSE. "In the tactile world, we use our five senses to take in information about our environment and respond to it ... But a lot of the information that helps us understand and respond to the world doesn’t come from these senses. Instead, it comes from computers and the internet. Maes’ goal is to harness computers to feed us information in an organic fashion, like our existing senses." https://lnkd.in/eXwwSz6 View in LinkedIn

DIGITAL SENSES. "Sensory data interfaces translate analog human senses into digital information. These technologies can substitute one sense for another–reproducing “sight” through taste or touch, for example." http://www.iftf.org/our-work/people-technology/technology-horizons/when-everything-is-programmable/when-everything-is-programmable-forecast-and-technology-cards/ View in LinkedIn

"SIMULATION recreates and represents the key characteristics or behaviors of a real system, in an artificial environment. As simulations become more advanced and simple to create, they will transform how we interact with our world, conduct business, and make life decisions." http://www.iftf.org/our-work/people-technology/technology-horizons/when-everything-is-programmable/when-everything-is-programmable-forecast-and-technology-cards/ View in LinkedIn

ENHANCED HUMAN FUNCTIONALITY. "Artificial organs, wetware implants, and cyborg augmentations are allowing us new freedoms and control over the structure and function of our bodies." http://www.iftf.org/our-work/people-technology/technology-horizons/when-everything-is-programmable/when-everything-is-programmable-forecast-and-technology-cards/ View in LinkedIn
