DNA Data Storage
The University of Washington along with Microsoft has been experimenting with data storage for quite some time now. They believe that the whole Internet can be stored in a tiny box and have even written 200 MB of information into a DNA sequence. Soon we’ll be able to write and retrieve information from DNA molecules! Just imagine what the future will be like.

Skype’s Universal Translator
Soon nothing will stop humanity from merging into one big family, not even language differences! We know Google Translate is a handy app when it comes to communicating with other people, but Skype has gone even further with the Universal Translator that uses artificial intelligence to translate more than 50 languages on the go. And the more it hears a person speak a particular language or dialect, the better it gets at translating it! We’ve come as close to Star Trek as possible – soon everyone will be able to understand each other, whether it’s Earth languages or other!

LG Signature Fridge
We don’t know whether this tech was created for lazy people or just for showing off, but it is definitely one cool item to have in your house.

Now they can just tap the panel lightly and it will become transparent, showing the contents of the fridge without actually opening the door.

Foldable Phones
Can you imagine full-screen smartphones with all the imaginable functions that can actually fold up? And we aren’t talking about flip-phones here. Bending screens have already been created and Samsung has even patented this new foldable-phone tech. We may witness production of new smartphone models as early as the middle of 2017.

Robot Chef Arms
Now this is heavy sci-fi stuff that is like a dream come true for millions of people all over the world. Moley Robotics developed Robot Chef Arms that can prepare over 2,000 meals from various cuisines. These robotic arms are connected to your phone, where you can choose the meal you want from an extensive menu. Will the meal be tasty, though? We’ll have to try and see for ourselves.

We’ve all been watching sci-fi movies since we were kids, trying to imagine what the future would look like. In movies and science fiction books people use the most unexpected gadgets to achieve various goals from traveling to other galaxies to robots that do the chores around your house. The possibilities are endless and so is human imagination that has no boundaries. Scientists, technicians and engineers also get inspired by futuristic ideas, yet unlike us, mere mortals, they have the skills to actually create what they imagine and dream about. Lately more and more new gadgets are emerging non-stop as we are getting closer to the future that was envisioned by our predecessors 100 years ago. Soon enough artificial intelligence will control our flights, smart robots will help us build spaceships and teleport will be the most mundane and usual thing ever. Here are 10 unbelievable gadgets that prove we are already in the future.

Sensorwake Alarm Clock
If you think that alarm clocks were invented to torture people, then wait till you try this new invention. Sensorwake Alarm Clock doesn’t use any of those irritating, sharp noises that drive everyone crazy, or even music that can be more pleasant, but will still wake you up abruptly. This new alarm clock will wake you up with an incredible aroma of a freshly brewed coffee, bacon, or tasty croissants. It’s the best thing in the world!

The thigh region of a girl is considered as ‘absolute territory’ in Japan, which means it is one of the most sexually attractive parts of the woman’s body. Since these skirts light up the girls’ hips and thus significantly increase their appealing appearance, there’s no doubt this new trend will settle down in Japan. Damn, these skirts look so fancy, I won’t be surprised if this trend will break out of the borders of its homeland and spread all over the world faster than a plague.

Amano has named its futuristic creation the Hikaru skirt, which, as Captain Obvious prompts, means “shining skirt.” This magical skirt exists only as a prototype on the designer’s Tumblr page without a price and the official release date. But this fact hasn’t stopped Japanese girls who adopted Amano’s idea and rock DIY LED-illuminated mini-skirts to the utmost.

This skirt is not just a piece of cloth, it can be classified as gadget as well. Amano used a 3D printer, Bluetooth and a control board for a production of a “smart skirt”. The skirt has LED lights in its folds that light up the girl’s thighs (let’s hope guys won’t inherit this trend). There are also small sensors inside the skirt, which react on the wearer’s moves, causing the color and the pattern of the light to change each time.
