The ultimate futurist post

I've been reading Time magazine tonight and found these gems on their 50 best inventions list:

1. Bionic Contacts: Finally, the future is on the doorstep. Mark my words, this is the first step towards seeing the map while you're driving...hands free! It'll app Of course, there will probably be "bionic ads" and such, stuff that cannot be seen by the naked eye, but only with these bionic contacts.
2. Thin Film Solar: Been hearing this for a while, it's a solar panel that is manufactured (by Nanosolar) on an assembly line, it's as flexible as plastic and is 100x thinner than what we think of when we say "solar panel". 100 times thinner. Think on that for a moment.
3. Biomechanical Energy Harvester: Basically long for "walking energy". This 3lb device lets you charge your electricals by walking...pretty cool, although the design could use some work.
4. Airborne Windpower: According to this article, if we harvest 1% of the high altitude winds we can power the entire world. Now that would be the ultimate coolness. The entire world, powered. 
5. Smog Eating Wall: Innercity pollution solved. 'nuff said.
6. Camera for the Blind: It's self explanatory. The camera that allows the blind to take pictures, by raising the image of whatever the lens sees on a Braille-like screen. My cousin would appreciate this.

Pretty darn cool stuff I say. For the other 44 inventions that Time listed, you may click here for the slideshow or here for a quick list.
