There's more to know in that Double Helix of yours... Would you want to know?

There is an effort underway at the National Institutes of Health to decrease the cost of producing a report of your DNA sequence to $1,000 by the year 2014. Imagine a DNA report that could help Doctor's predict a patient’s diseases years before symptoms occur. There are definitely positives to be had with this type of emerging technology, but what about the negatives?

Health Insurance companies might start requiring DNA sequencing reports from all applicants, even newborns before they are covered under your family plan. The Health Insurance Companies could still cover you, but identify all findings from the DNA sequence report as "pre-existing conditions" that are not covered on your plan. Preventive medicine would become the norm and from the overuse of medications, who can know what mutations/resistances will develop from the disease's we face today.

Wow - 3D phones without the glasses. What's Next? 3D TV Without The Glasses?? Sure, why not..

Like we didn't have enough to consider when we wanted to go and see a movie at the theater.. Sure, I feel like going to see a movie tonight, but do I want to see an IMAX 3D movie, 3D, or just the old cheaper 2D? Hmm... Let me think, which one sounds more entertaining...

Now we have 3D televisions, of course with glasses, but before you know it there will be 3D TV's available that do not require the glasses. This shouldn't come as a surprise to those of us that have already seen the 3D phones that have hit the street here recently. The technology behind 3D phones is called Autostereoscopic Parallax Barrier (APB). For APB there's a mask that lays over the LCD display and the display directs light from alternate pixel columns to each eye. "Parallax barrier displays allow instant switching between 2D and 3D modes as the light barrier is constructed from a layer of liquid crystal which can become completely transparent when current is passed across, allowing the LCD to function as a conventional 2D display."

So, I'm sure you're asking yourself, "Why is she going on and on about the 3D phones when I want to know about the technology behind 3D TV's without the glasses." Well, no big surprise here, 3D TV's without the glasses use the same technology as the 3D phones. :-)  You can find more detailed information by accessing this link - 3D TV Without The Glasses

Stay Tuned for more emerging technologies on the horizon to watch out for... Are you ready to strap a flight suit on and fly to work?? Sure, why not.
