By next year there will be test flights of a driverless hover-taxi in Singapore to offer an escape from the chronic gridlock that millions of people deal with every day. Even though Singapore itself does not […]

I accidentally came across this technology last week and thought it was so cool. It might not be a traditional “technology” but it definitely is a system. It was implemented in 2015 and I would love to see it […]

Instadreamer is a crowded-funded company that is producing a device they say can let you “take control of your dreams” by inducing vivid, lucid dreaming episodes. That’s a bold promise. Lucid dreaming is con […]

While I think that this would be a really cool thing, I also see some concerns with such an invasion into our lives. Dreams often reflect things that actually happen or stresses we face, so if a machine can alter these dreams I believe it could have a negative effect on our daily functions. People have been dreaming since existence and something that would alter the way our brain processes our lives could be very costly.

The idea of conscious dreaming is really cool and scary at the same time for me. It would be really cool to have control over my dream and do whatever I want to in the dream. However I think this will cause alot of problems as well. One problem I could think of is that if people can do whatever they want in their dream then I think some people will get addicted to dreaming and will no longer want to live in the world today. People may start sleeping and not want to wake up to reality which will cause family, government, and etc. problems. I believe this could be a really cool invention if the machine is being used ethically.

I also think part of dreaming is as a stress reliever. I can see how some people would use this technology for work related tasks. If you are thinking 24/7 about work, what will that do to a person’s wellbeing?

If this technology does get developed the world of transportation will take off to another level but will also cause many problem. This technology is created to solve a problem of traffic going on in this world right now but will there be traffic in the air when everyone gets this new technology? In the suburb area it would be a great source of transportation but in center city where there are huge buildings people will need to go around them but what if a hover car crash? This may seem like a great idea but has many risks that needs to be considered.
I agree with Chanyang, it sounds like an idea that may be the solution for decreasing traffic, but there is a lot to be considered. Can these air taxes land anywhere? How will air traffic be controlled now that taxis are added? Will this cause a problem with other air transportation such as helicopters. Im also curious who will be the people using these services because I would assume it costs a great deal of money. Personally, I still have trust issues with driverless cars, and now I cant image driverless hover taxis. It may be a while before people get comfortable. Regardless of the questions, it still seems pretty cool and I am interested to see the future of transportation.
I definitely like the idea of this technology being implemented. Similar to what Chan said, it would take transportation to another level. I think the idea of hover taxis would help consumers when they’re trying to travel from place to place with out having to worry about traffic. To implement this type of technology would take a significant about of planning. Similar to what Caroline said would it cause issues with air transportation and will it be completely safe.
It is crazy to imagine that this technology is here and ready for use. It has the potential to solve many traffic problems and other issues we as a ever growing society face. I think that this will be great test of this tech and will pave the way for future implementations.
