This wearable strap for your fingers allows you to text on your phone wirelessly đïž.
Location data beamed from GPS satellites are used by smartphones, car navigation systems, the microchip in your dogâs neck and guided missiles â and all those satellites are controlled by the U.S. Air Force. That makes the Chinese government uncomfortable, so itâs developing an alternative that a U.S. security analyst calls one of the largest space programs the country has undertaken.
The Beidou Navigation System will be accessible worldwide by 2020.
The bathroom is arguably the last bastion of privacy, but soon a new high-tech lavatory could be tracking your every movement.
Researchers at the European Space Agency (ESA) and MIT have teamed up with sanitation specialists to create the âFitLooâ which screens human waste for early signs of disease.
Data gathered by the sensors in the toilet bowl could be beamed to the users mobile phone so they can see how their health is changing or even directly to the GP so they could keep a remote eye on patients.
Between the never-ending stream of news linking bad actors to social networks and studies documenting societyâs growing smartphone addiction, it seems almost wrong today to think that technology can â ahem â help make the world a better place.
Thatâs why I am thankful for the annual Inclusive Innovative Challenge, hosted by MITâs Initiative on the Digital Economy. Launched in 2016, the IIC seeks out and awards entrepreneurs that are leveraging technology advances to reinvent the future of work. Thatâs right. There remains, even in this news cycle, firms committed to tapping technologyâs ability to connectâand not divideâpeople and buildâand not threatenâjobs and other economic activities.
Or, as the challenge organizers put it:

Check out this amazing video, from Andy Grove Co-founder of Intel in a 1999 Interview talking about technology and human intuition.
Todayâs optical systemsâfrom smartphone cameras to cutting-edge microscopesâuse technology that hasnât changed much since the mid-1700s. Compound lenses, invented around 1730, correct the chromatic aberrations that cause lenses to focus different wavelengths of light in different spots. While effective, these multi-material lenses are bulky, expensive, and require precision polishing or molding and very careful optical alignment. Now, a group of researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) is asking: Isnât it time for an upgrade?
