The MDI AirPod is a car that runs on nothing but compressed air and consequently, there is no emission. Apart from being eco-friendly, the car will be extremely cost effective and thus benefit both buyers and sellers. At present, there can be only one person on board and it will have a speed of 30 mph. But that is not all. Tata Motors, India’s largest automobile manufacturer, will build this airpowered car for Indian roads and its production is slated to begin soon.
Recently, Singapore has launched the world’s first adaptive audio streaming technology using MPEG-4 SLS Standard. This technology will let you enjoy streaming audio without affecting the quality of the sound.
The first IMAX film Tiger Child was shown at the Expo ’70 in Osaka, Japan.
In 1968, Douglas Engelbart introduced the first computer mouse at the Fall Joint Computer Expo in San Francisco, USA.
Directed by Ardeshir Irani, the first Indian talkie film Alam Ara was released on March 14, 1931. The movie premiered at the Majestic Cinema in Mumbai but all prints of this film are now lost.
The first live action-cum-animation film is Winsor McCay’s Gertie the Dinosaur. In this 1914 American short film, a live actor interacts with the animated 2D character, Gertie. He is also the narrator of the movie, feeds the dinosaur and rides it
In 1997, Marvin the Martian in 3D became the first CGI movie to be viewed with 3D glasses.
Released in 1995, Toy Story was the first featurelength film which had used CGI animation. Toy Story became a tremendous success and paved way for its sequels, Toy Story 2 and the upcoming Toy Story 3.
Asteroids and Lunar Lander were the first two video games copyrighted in the USA in the year 1980.
The aviation technology was not revealed to the common man until August 8, 1908. The Wright Brothers, however, had demonstrated their famous first flight much before that, which took place on December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk.
If you think that differently abled people struggle to overcome a lot of limitations, you can think again. Life will soon become easy as Toyota has invented a brain-powered wheelchair that will make them self-sufficient to a certain extent. And no, the person concerned won’t have to undergo any surgery for this. One just has to wear a skullcap used for electroencephalograms (EEGs) and whatever he/she thinks, such as moving to left or right, will be put to action with the help of a new computer programme that will read the brain signals and execute the same.
In 1971, Alan Curtis Kay introduced the concept of tablet computers for the first time. And Newton, Apple’s commercially failed tablet PC, happened to be one of the bestknown gadgets in those early days of tablet computing.
Microchips double in power every 18 to 24 months, according to Moore’s Law.

Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard
Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard
Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard is a one of its kind futuristic tiny device laser that projects a keyboard on any flat surface. You can then type away accompanied by simulated key click sounds. With 63 keys and a full size QWERTY layout, the Laser Virtual Keyboard can approach typing speeds of a standard keyboard ... in a size a little larger than a matchbook. It’s the future gadget similar to what you see in sci-tech movies.
The first fully automatic mobile phone system, called MTA (Mobile Telephone system A), was developed by Ericsson and commercially released in Sweden in 1956. This was the first system that did require any kind of manual control, but had the disadvantage of a phone weight of 40 kg (90 lb). MTB, an upgraded version with transistors, weighing 9 kg (20 lb), was introduced in 1965 and used DTMF signaling. It had 150 customers in the beginning and 600 when it shut down in 1983.
‘Songs of the Sea’ at Singapore’s Sentosa Amusement Park is a stellar combination of technology, imaging and live characters. Lights, lasers, fire effects and water jets create a stunning visual feast together with striking computer images projected on giant water screens. The different technological elements of ‘Songs of the Sea’ include a 40-m high giant water screen flanked by two slightly smaller water screens, 69 water jets reaching as high as 40 m, flames leaping up to 20 m and lasers using the latest diode technology. The most remarkable logistics aspect of the show, however, is the daily display of pyrotechnics.
Brahma Kumaris has done pioneering work in solar energy and sustainable energy, including developing the world’s largest solar cooker. Features incorporated in the system include a water-softening system to prevent salt formation in the header pipes and receivers, a pressure reducer station to maintain consistent steam flow and a high-efficiency diesel-fuelled back-up system for days of low solar radiation or extra demand to ensure round the clock steam availability. The only time that the back-up is put to full use is during the monsoon season when, for a period of about ten weeks, it is not practicable to rely on solar functionality.
The first website built was at CERN and was first put online on 6 August 1991. It provided an explanation on what the World Wide Web was, how one could own a browser and how to set up a web server. It was also the world’s first web directory, since Berners- Lee maintained a list of other websites apart from his own.
In 1994, Berners-Lee founded the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It comprised various companies that were willing to create standards and recommendations to improve the quality of the Web. Berners- Lee made his idea available freely, with no patent and no royalties due. The World Wide Web Consortium decided that their standards must be based on royalty-free technology, so they can be easily adopted by anyone.
Acompany in Brazil (Suite Vollard) constructed a building in which each floor can rotate 360 degrees. Each building has 11 apartments and each apartment can spin individually in any direction. One rotation takes a full hour, but an apartment owner can set the rotation speed through apartment control panel. Facades are made of three different types of glass, which give wonderful effects when the building spins during the sunset. The cost of each apartment is $US 300,000.00.
Cars today put out a lot of pollution, and use up fossil fuels. Predictions are that hydrogen cars with a combination of solar and electricity source, are the future of transportation. Device that is the size of microwave oven may be all you need to fuel your car in the future. Using small devices, hydrogen can be easily and cleanly extracted from water and power a family car for up to 150 kilometers.
Stealth technology designs and materials are engineered for military purpose of avoiding detection by radar or any other electronic system. Stealth, or anti-detection, technology is applied to vehicles (e.g., tanks), missiles, ships, and aircraft with the goal of making the object more difficult to detect at closer ranges. Since radar is the most difficult form of detection to elude, avoidance is generally accomplished by reducing the radar cross section (RCS) of the object to within the level of background noise; for example, the reported goal of U.S. military designers is to make a fighter plane with an RCS the size of a bird.
It seems that pigeons and Google are closely related. Google’s search engine technology is called PigeonRank, developed by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford University. Page and Brin reasoned that low-cost Pigeon Clusters (PC’s) could be used to compute web page data faster. Well, this is just a joke that Google had posted on its website on April 1, 2002. The search engine giant has successfully published such believable hoaxes to trick people on April Fool’s Day
The world’s first 3D camera has been launched in India by Japan-based Fujifilm. Thanks to its innovative technology known as the FinePix Real 3D system, users can now enjoy 3D images without wearing 3D glasses. The camera comes with an 8-inch viewer called Fine Pix Real 3D V1.
Finland is the first country in the world to pass a law that guarantees broadband access to every Finnish citizen. According to Finland’s Ministry of Transportation and Communications, every citizen will have a right to one megabit broadband speed from July, 2010, which will rise to 100 MB in five years.
The ILOVEYOU virus comes in an e-mail with an attachment and the message “I LOVE YOU” in the subject line. When the attachment is opened, the message is re-sent to everyone in the recipient’s Microsoft Outlook address book. But more seriously, every JPEG, MP3 and certain other files disappear from the recipient’s hard disk when the virus is let loose.
Acuckoo egg is an edited MP3 file that typically contains 30 seconds of the original song with the remainder of the song overwritten with cuckoo clock noises, white noise and/or voice messages such as, “Congratulations, you must have goofed up somewhere.” The purpose of cuckoo eggs is to deter the downloading and sharing of MP3 files using Napster and similar approaches.
Among all countries in the world, China owns the maximum number of television sets – 300 million, to be precise.
Even if a spammer gets just one response to every 12 million e-mail messages, he/she can still make a small profit.
Sock-puppeting means creating a fake identity online in order to praise, defend or create the illusion of support for one’s self, allies or company.
India became the first country to own a manoeuvrable supersonic cruise missile when it successfully test-fired BrahMos (range: 290 km) in March, 2010.
Abuffer is a temporary storage area, usually in RAM. The key purpose of a buffer is to act as a holding area, so that the CPU can manipulate data before transferring it to a device.
