The concept of prolonging human life by downloading old brains into new bodies is a fixture of science-fiction. Elon Musk says it’ll be possible one day.
We may soon be able to create our own, Black Mirror-style digital afterlives, and leave ‘meat space’ behind. But what would that mean for the future of the human race?

Subtitles are excellent at reaching audiences who speak foreign languages and can also help to reach and engage all audiences better, including those who are visually or hearing impaired.
The idea is excellent, although it can be open to abuse by government agencies since it can be deployed without user consent. Check out this article on the Chinese government using it to spy on its citizens. https://apnews.com/article/bf75dd1c26c947b7826d270a16e2658a
Chinese ‘gait recognition’ tech IDs people by how they walk
BEIJING (AP) — Chinese authorities have begun deploying a new surveillance tool: “gait recognition” software that uses people’s body shapes and how they walk to identify them, even when their faces are hidden from cameras.
Cool idea. Gait recognition is less prone to errors and can’t be hacked. It is also less invasive than other biometrics such as fingerprinting, eye scanning, and facial recognition.

Each human has a unique and identifiable walking pattern termed as a gait. Because of its uniqueness, a person’s gait can be used to identify themself just like a fingerprint.

These would be great if they did liquids. Not sure why nobody has invented a desktop one yet, the wet and dry big vacuums are great. II want a small one something like this. Any ideas?

Didn’t realise they existed – so I had a look to see what was already available and some of them seem a bit overkill when you could do it with cardboard.
Great idea, currently you can only assign function keys – but I may want to switch from qwerty to a custom setup, gamers have customisable keyboards, but they still need the keys to be light up rather than printed on, so they can change them.
These things have a sheet of icons that you stick on – crazy! Just make each key into a tiny display and use whatever symbol you want innit. And why can’t you get them for normal keyboards?

Cool idea. Gait recognition is less prone to errors and can’t be hacked. It is also less invasive than other biometrics such as fingerprinting, eye scanning, and facial recognition.
The technology is promising, but you have to iron out a few issues, such as how to accurately record your gait and the effects of weight, health, and speed changes on the gait. Check out this article here https://www.scienceabc.com/eyeopeners/is-your-walk-as-unique-as-your-fingerprint.html

Not just the background, add a version of yourself to the meeting and don’t even show up!
Here’s how to make them, well, just the static image version anyways, AR or VR would be tremendous.
It would be good if you could have the prez doing his work behind you as you have a zoom call. These are just stills but video or AR would bring on a new dimension to boring old meetings.
These would be great if they did liquids. Not sure why nobody has invented a desktop one yet, the wet and dry big vacuums are great. II want a small one something like this. Any ideas?
This?
Baby henry is rubbish by the way, doesn’t even have power for liquids.
Wireless without a case. great idea if it really is truly universal.
found on amazon, thanks
You can get them. Mine is brilliant. its just a case with a keyboard in it that holds your ipad.

What does your mouse say about you?
I loved this idea so went looking for one online and found these. Prefer the brain one now though. Funny.
Thumbtrack looks like a similar idea but what a silly name considering it goes on your finger not your thumb,
Interesting idea, but at nearly 200 dollars, think again.
If this came as a v shape or one with half a keyboard for each hand, it would be ideal. just rest it on any shirt or your knees or anywhere comfortable. would need to be wireless though for sure.
The wearable keyboard thing is 100 bucks but not a real keyboard, you have to learn to type a whole different way, which seems to defeat the object.
Or just use a TAP keyboard you wear on your hand and use any shirt.
There was this once. But I like the idea that the keys are on each side and easy to reach.
seen on indigogo, but it died an early death
To be honest its not a great idea – you don’t move it around enough to charge it – just go with a wireless charger.
introducing the “rolltop” laptop. not sure if you can actually buy them yet though. Does anyone know? if so add the link as I’m following this idea with bated breath.
Bendables are here already – not sure about rollup phones though. nice idea.
World record is 360 wpm btw
Thats fast typing – a dying art
there’s an app for that.
Heard of NEWTON, get that.
Looks like you will have to learn some code lol
chuckle.. this.
Heres a vid about how to do it
This free app does it
You can use your phone as a mouse but it seems a bit contrived – isn’t there a simple app for it?
I’m thinking just buy the laptop tray that clamps to any office chair. Means you don’t need an office at all.
Very pricey but cool.
Check this thing out, you use the chair to sit low to the ground and put the laptop on the chair base. Bit weird tbh.
better idea, just use your phone as a mouse – gonna add it as an idea in itself as folk need to know you can do this.
Just clip this beauty to your laptop.
No reason why someone can’t make a laptop that has space for this flexible mouse
instructables have the answer – good idea and execution
Didn’t realise they existed – so I had a look to see what was already available and some of them seem a bit overkill when you could do it with cardboard.
Got one for working on the beach – mine was only 20 quid though.
Great idea, currently you can only assign function keys – but I may want to switch from qwerty to a custom setup, gamers have customisable keyboards, but they still need the keys to be light up rather than printed on, so they can change them.
These things have a sheet of icons that you stick on – crazy! Just make each key into a tiny display and use whatever symbol you want innit. And why can’t you get them for normal keyboards?
Cool, but can’t someone make one out of rubber and with a strap, so it sticks to your hand when you move around. I would keep my hands down by my sides if I could touch type and they didn’t fall off.
Gamers already use these. They look handy.
Yeah, great idea, i won’t use a flatty ever again now I have this in my room. Highly recommended.
Amazing idea, but never used one, I bet it’s a great experience.
Sounds good, don’t know if you can do functions and routines with shortcuts in windows from this though, anyone?
ace and would just copy a click on File > Open > Recent Documents.
Ahh, handy. could easily be incorporated with the standard family of shortcuts devised so far.
This one never happened, but it would be great if the projector is all you need to type and view.
Saw this but it needs the screen projector to go with the keyboard
