I Break The News

You would think if anybody in the world is all FOR NEW TECHNOLOGY it must be a Decepticon . WRONG! The ever surviving Transformers villain has a strict 'no selfie' policy as you can see and hear in the video above. The clip was recorded very recently, at the Universal Studios in Hollywood. When Alexandra Trew (pretty fearlessly) approached the outspoken mean robot, he had some choice words for here! He said: 'You will not receive a selfie so long as you stand before me with your ridiculous furred hoodie! When will you learn that your status updates mean zero-to-nothing to anyone, ever! It doesn’t matter which social network you post it on — worthless! Use your mind, create new memories, interact, don’t just add it to a library of forgotten photographs! Ugh, how disappointing your generation is.' Well, if she just takes a screenshot of the right moment in her video we would say: Technically - SELFIE achieved! :))) And how often do you really me...

Jay Rogers and the team of Local Motors You and I knew, that it was only a matter of time until somebody would attempt to 3D-print a fully functional car ! Well it is 2014 and THAT TIME has now arrived. Jay Rogers and the team of his Arizona-based company Local Motors made it happen! In a total of only 44 hours, they printed all the necessary parts and put them together at the International Manufacturing Technology Show in front of hundreds of interested witnesses. The 2-seater was named 'Strati' which means 'layer' in Italian and looks to us like a XXL Playmobil car. (in a good way :) See the fascinating video of its production below or read a full length interview with Jay Rogers on this project and the future of auto manufacturing at Inc.com . If someone could print us a silver one.. that would be AMAZING, thank you. (photo and video via LocalMotors.com )

Cloud Couch Concept  by David Koo and Zheng Yawei Today, we have got some highly futuristic product designs for you. Whoa, we are so ahead of our time. :) Taking a nap on the cloud above looks dreamy! So how does it work? The magnetic power of the base will levitate the fluffy upper cushion and keep you floating, if everything works out. We would really like to know, what the weight limit is and if 2 people can sit on there together. Toyo Isola S Kitchen Island by Toyo Kitchen If you do not recognize the purpose of this ying and yang design , we can clear it up for you. This, is an electric cooker including sink and an area to cut the food. Once you have prepared your meal, you can sit down at the big round family dining table below. It glows in blue and can also be closed, to save space. Interested? Go to Hongkiat.com for more futuristic and useful inventions.

3D printing is currently the most promising and innovative technology progression we have! What to do with it? Hm, here is a very light - and COOL - approach! How about the Statue of Liberty toasting towards you, while you are sipping on your drink? Pretty awesome, right? Japanese company Santury, created a variety of ice figures in iconic shapes . It is a clever idea , most likely invented to excite us and to plug their alcoholic beverage. We demand the Eiffel Tower !! That being said, we wouldn't mind, finding the Sphinx in our coke either!
