Fastest Web Connection Dries Laundry
Now ask yourself that - what would you do whether you had the fastest World Wide Web connection in the world? Well, short of downloading just about everything imaginable while keeping a close eye on your front door in order to ensure government enforcement officers won’t come barging through, what about drying your laundry on it? Apparently, thats what grandmother Karlstad Stadsnät uses it for. Word has it that the ISP sponsoring her line will upgrade it to 100Gbps by the summer, which makes me wonder why those who get all the good stuff in the world rarely know how to use it to the maximum.

Real-moment 3D Maps For Soldiers
Soldiers could, in the near future, bring up a detailed 3D map of the surrounding area at will whether General Dynamics UK actually manage to pull off their project successfully. that “near real-time” 3D map system uses a wide range of technologies to manufacture it possible, including LIDAR, thermal imaging and x-ray backscatter techniques in order to display buildings, streets as well as the objects and citizens living inside. Now that’s what I shout technology - no notion just how much processing capability is needed to churn all that info, but it will definitely come in handy where hostage situations are concerned.

Massaging Backpack
There is nothing quite like a soothing back massage after a hard day’s work, but what happens when you’re too poor to afford a massage chair or even go for an hour’s worth of manual massage at the local parlor? Well, there is always the Massaging Backpack that vibrates constantly, pummeling your upper back for some much needed relief. I’m not too certain just how much battery capability that nifty device needs, but at €39.90 it is definitely worth checking out. One thing’s for certain - it’ll add a stutter to your speech while using that.
