Coolest Technologies Of Tomorrow

2005

For the second year in a row, we are pausing from our coverage of the here and now to give you a little glimpse of the not here yet.


It is one thing to review TVs or laptops that are currently on the market, but gazing over the technological horizon is a tricky business--there are a lot of "next big things" in the world of technology. Some of them are hype, some of them are the products of solid research and development, and most of them are equal parts of both.


Slide show of ten of the coolest technologies of the future:

What's more, the industry moves at a lightning-fast pace. It seems that every time a new and interesting technological advance is introduced, we in the world of techno-journalism are left with barely enough time to ponder its usefulness before we are teased with the promises of a version 2.0. But despite those caveats, the world of gadgets and gizmos has a fertile future.

What has caught our eye? Holographic discs that store information in three dimensions, TVs that talk back to you and devices that let you print in three dimensions.
