Time to don your "clever" iPod costume or put on a bathrobe and be Arthur Dent. But there's also a world of technology out there that's scarier than anything M. Night Shyamalan ever produced (admittedly, not that difficult). Read on, and get ready to hide under your bed...or drool with anticipation. http://www.itworld.com/offbeat/82801/slideshow-scary-technology#comments Offbeat Feature future tech robotics slideshow Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:06:06 -0400 mulderjoe 82801 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/tech-amp-society/69777/flying-cars-hit-market-53-years-ago One California man is taking to the road and the sky in a vehicle built in 1956. http://www.itworld.com/tech-amp-society/69777/flying-cars-hit-market-53-years-ago#comments Tech & society Opinion future tech Fri, 03 Jul 2009 09:00:00 -0400 abennett 69777 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/tech-amp-society/68095/are-computers-transforming-humanity The answer is obvious, the implications profound. http://www.itworld.com/tech-amp-society/68095/are-computers-transforming-humanity#comments Tech & society Opinion future tech Mon, 18 May 2009 17:23:47 -0400 ITworld staff 68095 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/software/63226/microsoft-demos-innovations-annual-techfest Microsoft demonstrated new technologies, including a system for recognizing conference-call participants, at its annual TechFest event. http://www.itworld.com/software/63226/microsoft-demos-innovations-annual-techfest#comments Software News future tech Microsoft TechFest Wed, 25 Feb 2009 09:14:43 -0500 ITworld staff 63226 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/tech-amp-society/55687/high-tech-rides-cars-cool-technology Knight Rider has nothing on what's brewing in the labs of leading automotive researchers. Today's technologies range from mobile Internet access to collision-detection systems to automated braking and steering capabilities. Some car manufacturers are even designing their cars to offer a personal touch by pulling up drivers' preferences based on fingerprint and other biometric technologies. Here we detail some of the leading-edge technology embedded in today's cars and what new vehicles are on tap from automotive giants in the near future. http://www.itworld.com/tech-amp-society/55687/high-tech-rides-cars-cool-technology#comments Tech & society Feature concept car future tech Mon, 06 Oct 2008 11:36:18 -0400 ITworld staff 55687 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/green-it/55547/murata-working-turning-laptop-heat-power Murata Manufacturing's unicycling robot was the star attraction at the company's Ceatec booth this year, but visitors in a hurry to see the robot perform likely rushed by one of the company's more interesting projects: a thermoelectric device capable of turning heat into electricity.

All but dead in the console race three years ago, Nintendo is now leaving Sony and Microsoft in the dust.
