GPS, robots and unmanned aircraft - Technology that will see the fields of the future

All adults and mature people realize that food is not "born" in the fridge, but need to produce and earn in order to get to it. Much of today's food of plant origin generated by farming, in which huge areas with arable land are systematically processed to bear fruit.

After the transfer of this way of creating food people ceased to be nomads and secure its survival safer (by reducing the quality of the food because switching to food with more carbohydrates and less protein and fat). People throughout history increased the efficiency of processing of the earth to extract the maximum amount of food with minimum possible investment, but human performance has a limit.

Therefore the aid, several modern technologies that will enable the lifting of this limit over what is humanly possible. Using GPS / Glonass positioning of tractors, robots independently will plow fields or harvested fruits, and unmanned aircraft to monitor and examine the quality of the soil or fruit, systematic processing of the fields will acquire another dimension upgraded.

Imagine a robot that would be spent in the field and using different technology itself may pick strawberries, apples or grapes; to play pesticides exactly where they need to destroy bugs; or putting down fertilizer where soil lost of quality.

Drone could observe soil from above, be downloaded at certain places and to examine its quality, and then passed on to the surface where the robot to use fertilizer, and where more water. Automated tractor could alone to plow the field and more efficient than man, making maps for plowed and unplowed soil, which should be passed, and with the help of advanced algorithms to determine where and at what path to pass to be maximally effective in terms energy, fertilizer, seeds and the like.

Such technologies, and each other, inevitably lead to reduce the need for human workers. Marginalization of people in the workforce is a burning issue that has already created tension and will soon become chronic and can cause huge waves of resentment among people worldwide. It is time to devote more ethical problems with technology, not only to Terra headlong forward without taking into account the problems.

For the first time demonstrated creating words directly from the brain waves

Want to become a writer, but in fact you too lazy to write? Do not worry, help coming scientists in the journal "The Limits of neurology" announced their latest study, which demonstrate creating words directly from brain waves.
They have achieved this by using electrodes were implanted in the brain due to the treatment of epilepsy. Using them in detecting brain waves, they gave seven patients to read a variety of texts, including the Kennedy speech, Hampton Damp, and Charmed.
The software recognized mental "sounds" that created the brain and after some time spent in training and with the help of automatic fixer of words (auto-correct) reached well enough recognition of words that were not part of the speech they read. Certainly, it is necessary to further train the software to work for greater precision in identifying the brain waves.
It is not possible to detect brain waves without tap electrodes directly into the brain, and it can be detected from outside the skull is insufficiently defined. From one point of view, this is bad for Neuroscientists who want to examine this phenomenon without having to electrodes implanted in the brains of the participants.
On the other hand, this is a positive outcome if we observe the work through the prism of privacy. Namely, when scientists would have devised a way to directly read thoughts into words, we could say goodbye to privacy because somehow feel, that such software and hardware will be interested in various "security" agencies in the world.

Russian scientists are working on a battery that can run for 50 years

Ok, we know that current battery technology is catastrophic and have a battery that would last a week in the volume should be disproportionately great needs, but if you really need a battery that would last 50 years?
Russian engineers think - yes. After all, these batteries are unlikely to spread to the consumer market, but will find place in a variety of satellites and space missions. Namely, satellites now mainly rely on solar energy for recovery of their capacities for energy. This becomes problematic when the satellite is not in contact with sunlight because some other body (Earth, Moon...) located between them.
In that case it would be great to have a power source that is independent from the Sun, and also not be too big (as it is with today's battery technology). Therefore, the Russian mining and chemical plant will start production of battery based on nickel isotope-63rd The advantage of such a nuclear battery is small in size and huge life, according to which the engineers called the battery "eternal." Normally it is not eternal, but life expectancy of 50 years is practically eternal.
Such batteries can be used for pacing, telecommunications, various portable devices bearing the man, and who do not have good access to energy, etc. If you worry because this is a nuclear battery, please. This isotope of nickel is pretty poor quality and protection of the battery will prevent almost any radiation to reach you.

Google with its own bracelet for health monitoring

The health of all our matters. The main advice that I got from most physicians to maintain a healthy body is a healthy, raw food by reducing the intake of carbohydrates, regular movement and active life, regular rest and proper posture ...

To help in these aims many manufacturers as JawBone or FitBit, created various devices that carry with them and follow you as you are active, when lying, sleeping, etc. and in terms of giving advice or inform you if you are doing something right.

Now and Google announced its latest bracelet, but with a slightly different role. Namely, their idea is to wear a bracelet that information about your health, in addition to you will send with your doctor in real time. It is the bracelet sensing heart rate, temperature, exposure to light and sound and other information that can be collected from your environment.

With the help of sensors the device will establish a closer control of your condition and the effects of which are exposed from the environment, so your doctor can monitor and react accordingly. Still no details about everything that will contain this bracelet, but we would like to see a device that will be merged clock that runs on Android, and besides the above sensors will monitor your sleep, how many steps do air pollution exposure to electromagnetic radiation and the like. In that case would be truly comprehensive device that would take care of your health.
