The folks over at TechDigest have got a great take on a recent report that humans have hit their evolutionary limit – they have suggested some tech upgrades for us! I’ve picked out a few of my fave ideas ideas below, but you’ll have to link over to their site to check out the full list :-)

#3. CONDUCTIVE FINGERS Wouldn’t it be handy if you could put one finger in a plug socket, then another finger in your MP3 player or mobile phone to charge it up? It would save having to worry about chargers and would be an environmentally sound solution

#4. CAFFEINE GLANDS Seeing as we’re all so hooked on coffee, how about those scientists do something useful for a change and give us caffeine glands? That way, whenever we have something to do in a hurry – some work, an important phone call – our caffeine glands can inject a quick boost of happiness and confidence into our systems

#7. CLOSABLE EARS Our ears need “earlids” so we can shut out the sounds of whatever rubbish music other idiots are listening to. The existing ear should be very easy to adapt. Earlids could be standard among babies born from 2015 if these scientists get their acts together

About The Author

Ben Robinson

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.

    Conductive fingers and ear-lids would be awesome!
