10 future technologies that should scare you

New Delhi: As cutting-edge tech moves from fiction to everyday reality we'll be able to do things that previous generations could only dream of. But some of our modern technology can be scary. Here is a list of top 10 of them:The CuddlebotThese cute-looking fur balls are called the Cuddlebot. These are touch-sensitive robots that can differentiate between nine different kinds of touching, and can even tell who's doing it. By using conductive fur, Cuddlebot can tell if someone's scratching it, tickling it, or blowing on it — and, after a while, can even tell who's doing it. Created to relieve stress, this piece of fur features the natural movements that we feel when petting an animal.Lab Grown MeatYou may call it future of food. Recently animal welfare and vegetarian organisations hailed the first public tasting of a lab grown burger (in vitro meat) in London. While it is still early days in the development of this technology - it is estimated it will be at least ten years before the product reaches the market.ExoskeletonsExoskeletons are fusing man and machine to reduce workplace injuries and restore freedom to the disabled. Caffeine SprayTired of the dreaded coffee aftertaste? Ben Yu and Deven Soni have just the thing for that: Sprayable Energy. The energy spray is absorbed through the skin and apparently distributed through the body over a period of several hours for a long-lasting caffeine buzz. "When I ingest it, it's like roller coaster ride of energy," its makers say.Cyberbug DronesThe Cyberbug is the future of drones. The CyberBug UAV offers a low cost solution to law enforcement and the Military, providing the capability to provide routine surveillance and communication in crowded or remote locations. With the ability to enter almost any location, the drone can record sounds, gather information and create privacy nightmares.Tube TrainsYou can zoom to your location in less than an hour on futuristic tube trains. Synthetic AlcoholSynthetic alcohol gives the drinker the effects of drunkenness without many of the risks of alcohol. Professor David Nutt, the Edmond J. Safra Professor of Neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College London, says the synthetic alcohol reproduce the pleasurable effects of alcohol but are much less toxic. BCI MachinesBCI Machines allow people to control computers with their mind. The scary situation will be when the opposite starts happening. Computer viruses have done amazing things and we know they will effect the brain.X-Ray Vision AppsMIT workers have discovered that pinging Wi-Fi signals can be used to detect movement between walls. Eventually the technology will be used to show full x-ray vision.Winged RollercoastersThe winged roller coasters make it feel like you're not even on the track. Of course, the thrills are not without cost.
