1. Mission Impossible technology not far awayWithin 10 to 15 years, you're going to be walking down the street, and your sun or eye glasses will have little cameras in the corner like on Mission Impossible. The system will automatically look up the faces on some kind of commercial face registry and supply captions underneath every person walking past you - their name, two or three sentences of their chosen bio (like Facebook), plus dissenting opinions of their ex partners and more.
This may horrify some people reading this, and I must admit that it scares me too! But when you break it down the cameras are extensions of human vision and the database is an extension of human memory. If we embrace this cautiously then we'll have nothing more than a return to the old village our ancestors lived in where we knew everybody and knew everybody's reputation. Only now, instead of 1000 people in the surrounding area that our brains and eyes can handle, our augmented brains will be able to handle every person on the planet - say, 10 billion people. 2. GM viruses build a better batteryA tiny virus has been trained to build a more efficient and powerful lithium battery, say US researchers. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) modified two genes in a virus called M13, which caused it to build a shell made out of a compound called iron phosphate. These shells attached to a carbon nanotube to create a powerful and tiny electrode. The virus boosted battery could provide more power for MP3 players or cellular telephones, and are far more environmentally friendly than current battery technologies, says MIT materials scientist Angela Belcher, who led the research, which appears today in the journal Science. 3. Scientists speak out on mobile phone, cancer linkThe last article for this edition could be quite a sobering one. In short, there may now be a scientific link between mobile phone use and brain tumours. Excerpt: "In March last year he made headlines with his review of research. He found that 10 years of mobile use doubles the risk of brain cancer on the same side of the head the mobile is used." New Tool:
