1] A laser printer for DNA: the San Francisco based company, Cambrian Genomics is creating the world's first DNA laser printer. We have moved into the age of creating anything?

2] Software that thinks like a Human? California based start-up Vicarious, will build this software. The co founder of FaceBook, Dustin Moskovitz is part of the team that has raised $15 million dollars to fund this project. Kinda creates a new spin on what the avatars will become...imagine talking profiles?

3] Matternet, Palo-Alta based start-up, will start testing small drones that can deliver medicine and medical supplies, ANYWHERE! With the healthcare changing in the U.S., maybe there will be money to be made delivering medicine to the world! Testing apparently will start in the Dominican Republic, later this year!

4] X-ray Vision? Xandem has developed a new technology that will us to see through walls. Xandem will launch it's first product in April, with the helps of a Salt Lake Ciry Angel investor. This kind of takes transparency to another level!

5] Swallowing nano technology "pill" to track your health? Proteus is to receive FDA approval soon. This sensor will be powered by body fluids.

These are some really amazing technologies, that are sure to change the landscape...

NASA | 3D Printed Food

NASA secures funding to start R&D...

The thought of what this technology could mean is mind blowing..."End of World Hunger perhaps?", the end of " FedEx?

What new marketing schemes are on the horizon?

  • Imagine mailing out an electric car to test drive...Will FedEx turn it's business model?
  • Imagine what the fast food industry thinks of this technology, assuming McDonald's owns the rights to the "Big Mac"...will they release the rights, so the world can enjoy a 3D Big Mac!
  • What else will this technology produce...Weapons, Houses, People and maybe Dreams?
  • What will Grocery Stores become?

NASA is approving this technology for the quest to go to Mars! Being able to print food on demand, will allow for storage, on these long trips, for things other than food.

Question: Will the Internet of the future be the same as it is now?
