How Will We Look Back On Today's Gadget Ads?
Looking back at vintage advertising can be a sociological horrorshow. It could never be printed now. But it also seems inevitable that some of today's tech ads will eventually seem utterly backwards, too. The question is, which ones? More » -

Optical Gaming Implants Turn Babies Into Killers
I love fake ads from the future: like the satirical spots from Robocop and Total Recall, or the Veridian Dynamics openers in Better Off Ted. These ads for "Eyefinity" gaming implants aren't as clever, but they're still a fun watch: More » -

Remember The AT&T Ads About the Future? You Will
Narrated by Tom Selleck, and directed by Fight Club's David Fincher, the ads began in 1993 and were (mostly) remarkably accurate, predicting: E-Books, in-car GPS, tablet PCs, E-ZPass, video conferencing, and video on demand. Take a look: More » -

How Will Technology Affect the Future of Sex? Clones, Virtuality and Polyamorism
Are the rapid advancements in technology and science, in artificial-intelligence and genetics, leading us to a moment in time—a technological singularity—where ultra-intelligent machines improve on their own designs, while we humans are free to edit our own evolution? More » -

Virtusphere Combines Virtual Reality With the Hamster Ball, Adds Broken English
I think I and quite a few others have had this idea before, but some crazy Russians have actually built a 10-foot, stationary hamster ball for humans that translates movement to on-screen action. More » -

The Future Of Car Technology, As Seen From The Recent Past
Futuristic concept products—especially gadgets—always inspire the same thought: in about ten years, this is going to seem ridiculous. Jalopnik takes a look back at the technological dreams of the car industry, circa 1999. -

OK, But Will The Inevitable Robotapocalypse Be Green?
While scientists all over the world strive to create a mechanical equivalent to the human brain, one guy is getting kind of concerned about these posthumans' power bills. They're pretty high! At least, at first. More » -

Dior Is Trying to Make Ugly Futuristic Glasses Actually Happen
I thought we learned our lesson from cheesy sci-fi movies. You know how everyone in the fictional future is walking around with clunky, stupid glasses? Now a designer wishes to birth that digital dystopia. More » -

Robot Memories From Tomorrow Scare the Beegeezus Out of My Underpants
I don't know about you, but this image-which apparently was uploaded to Facebook-scares me. Maybe it is because I always thought that I was a robot when I was a kid, in the early 80s. More » -

How to Make Your Own Legit Hoverboard

Chevy Orlando is Totally the Minivan of the Future, Dude
This is the 2010 Chevy Orlando, a concept vehicle due to be shown off at the Paris Motor Show next week. It's pretty similar to the 2010 Chevy Cruze, but as you can see, it's got some pretty dramatic blue lighting on its exterior. I'm not quite sure if its completely ridiculous or totally awesome; it probably falls somewhere between the two. I mean, Tron lights are awesome, but Tron lights on a glorified minivan? It's interesting, at least. Hit the jump for a shot of this with its sunroof glowing, then head over to Jalopnik to see many, many more pictures of this thing. More » -

Japanese Robo Crane Game Takes It Up a Notch
If you're looking for another reason why Japan looks upon us like we look upon third world countries, take crane games. We have a robotic crane we control with a joystick, but Japan has a robotic ROBOT that they control with buttons. Players move the robot around to collect one of many cute dolls—one of which is a deformed Shrek—and take the winnings home. Too bad you can't have the robot grab itself, since that's what we really want. [Stinger Report via Arcade Heroes via Gear fuse via Uber Gizmo]
