Driving autonomously to the moon - week 4

A week full of technology and no real straight line to draw with one new thing that is really the one thing this week. But of course there is one thing that is important enough to mention, at least not mentioning here would be a shame. Windows 10 is out!

Windows 10 came along with lost of features and nice thing to know is that is fits on every device. This definitely is different from other platforms indeed! And it came along with another thing, you can make yourself your own holodeck! It looks a bit like a combination of the google glass with Oculus Rift.

Oh and of course we have to mention the investment of Google in SpaceX of Elon Musk. So next to the holodeck we could have a new start trek spaceship. Could it be possible in future we are travelling to space instead of our holiday to like Greece? Well technically we might.

And this is not the only good thing that happened to Elon's business. Holland opened up the road for self driving car tests. This is actually kind of big for the Netherlands but in the same time in Holland we are kind of far with the technology, some parts of the technology come even from here. At the same moment Ford opens up their own test center.

And last but no least I found some tech which I would really like to try. Making a phone on the surface of your arm using a bracelet. I own an activity tracker since one week and this could be the basis for your phone in the end when you only need your bracelet and the phone exists on your arm.

I cannot guess what comes next week, but you can count on me that I will look for all the things in new tech will happen! See you next week! Thank you for reading.

5 new technologies for the ill or disabled - from #VisisionNL week 3 2015

This will be the first blog in a row that I will provide every week in the weekend, most likely every Sunday evening. The blog will be about what was in the news last week. #VisionNL provides the best news from the news on the best websites on the internet. After years of following news about new technologies and already posting this to twitter, paperli, scoop and more websites I would like to add a blog to it to make some statements and adding extra content and knowledge to the news.

Last week a lot of news was about new ways to help people with a disability or illness. These are the 5 news items of last week about health technology:

1. Programmable DNA ‘smart glue’ could speed 3D-printed organ research
2. 'Be My Eyes' laat blinden weer zien met hulp op afstand
3. Draagbare airbag moet senioren beschermen tijdens valpartijen
4. A Rub-On Tattoo for Diabetics Could Mean the End of Finger Pricking 
5. Portable 'blood test in a box' to give instant diagnoses

More and more we see that technology will help in hospitals that look like products we could use every day and it is getting even more normal to do that. Design is one of the reasons why this is happening, it is even nice to wear these gadgets as for years ago nobody wanted to see you withany of the stuff from a doctor. 

Technology is getting smaller and easier to be worn. Heck we even by our own trackers, gadgets and other stuff to help us on health. In my opinion this sector will grow very big. This year will get a boost in health gadgets I think. 2015 Health year. And with 3D tech we probably can save a lot of people. So keep your eyes on this one!

This weekend I bought one of my own. I bought a Fitbit Charge. I will post some reviews about it later on this week so I can let you know what I think about it, hope you will enjoy!

See you next week?
