Still harboring hopes of coming up with cutting edge technology

Reading technology blogs on news about the latest new technology and how it will help humanity in various different aspects has excited me in the past, and still continues to excite me today.

My mind will go into a whirl on how these tech can be deployed and tweaked to serve various different purposes and applications.

Remembering what Bro has said about start-ups in CA getting all kinds of funding to make their products come to realisation, I still hope that one day I'll be able to come up with some awesome ideas of my own and really get the chance to develop them.

A list of stuff that I had thought of more than 20 years ago:

  • Vision Enabling - help the visually impaired to be able to see via conversion of optical visuals to neurological signals which can be deciphered by the brain, presenting real vision to the wearer
  • Exoskeleton - help the semi-handicapped to be able to regain the ability to walk. Essentially a cyborg.
  • Mind control - not controlling the mind of others, but rather something Jedi-like (even though I had never watched Star Wars before), that one will be able to control./manipulate objects, via brain activity. Pretty much like ESP, but I see that this can really be done. Given the wide proliferation of smartphones, and low costs of ASIC and FPGAs, this could become a reality soon.
Gotta do some proper house keeping, and keep a record of all my ideas and concepts.
Who knows one day, I will be able to turn them into reality.
(watching sci-fi stuff like Iron Man always reignites the geek in me)
