We often have the word vision in our language. People, companies, countries. Vision says a lot. It is what makes the present more bearable, what offers hope, it is a motive. It is a lifeline and also a prediction. And like weather forecasts and meteorologists, visions and visionaries are also fallible. Let's take a look at some bold predictions from the last century that have been or are still waiting for possible realization.

Sometimes I walk around the keyboard, sometimes in nature. One time I twist the heels, the other time the kitchen. I press the trigger once, the pedals a second time. And one time I play the role of a moviegoer, another time a nanny. Life offers such a wide range of things that it would be pointless to dip your brush in just a color or two, right?
Since the laptop, if we want to use it, cannot be held above the head like a book or phone in a lying position, the Japanese came up with the idea of creating a lying desk for the Thanko Super Gorone laptop. What at first appears to be another bizarre affair from the land of the rising sun, doesn't seem so wrong with the news that sitting is the new smoking. Shall we lie down at the table now instead of sitting?
We've all experienced bad breath at some point. If it wasn't coming from our mouths, it was coming from someone else's mouth. Bad breath is a disgusting thing and is the result of health problems, and it also ruins romance. Breathometer has therefore created a pocket-sized device, the Mint, which works similar to a breathalyzer and tells us when we have bad breath. In this way, we can take action in time and save not only the date, but also our health.
Sarah DeRemer is back. The artist, who is known for her photoshopped hybrids between animals and their favorite food, presents herself this time with the series "You Are What You Eat", which otherwise paints the cruel reality of the animal world, otherwise full of wonderful creatures, where most of them are not exactly in a friendly relationship, but rather in a relationship of prey and predator, but presents this in a sympathetic way through a bunch of interesting crossovers.
There is never enough space on smartphones. They only have so much internal memory, and even that is often not what it claims to be. Yes iPhone, we're looking at you and your 16 GB. Therefore, it is wise to use what we have wisely. Let's look at some simple ways that our memory can lose a few "pounds" to cope with new challenges.
Especially on the Asian side of the world, various artists from all over the world gather every year for snow festivals, where they create incredible sculptures from ice and snow. But not the Bartz brothers from New Brighton, Minnesota (USA), who have chosen the yard in front of their house to display their masterpieces for the fourth year in a row. This year they carved a 3 and a half meter turtle.
Alan Turing, portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch, was a British mathematician, cryptographer and long-unsung hero of World War 2 who cracked the code of the Nazi Enigma encryption machine. You can see the machine in the Museum of Recent History of Slovenia (during the premiere, especially in Kinodvor), while the film The Imitation Game can be seen in all Cineplexx, Kolosej and other smaller cinemas in Slovenia from January 22 onwards.
For the third time (and for the second time in a row), Cristiano Ronaldo became the winner of the Ballon d'Or, Fifa's award for the best footballer of the past year. The four-time winner of this prestigious award, Lionel Messi, and the newcomer among the finalists, the German Manuel Neuer, were in competition for it. The picture at the top was identical to last year's, except that at the award ceremony in Zurich, the Real Madrid star replaced the tears of happiness with a battle cry and was immediately nicknamed Roar-aldo.
The snowmobile, which in profile resembles the body of a dragonfly, is probably one of the most beautiful sleds you've ever seen and therefore fits nicely into a winter fairy tale. But since we know that enjoying the joys of winter takes a toll, i.e. enduring the cold, many people prefer to skip this option and stay warm. With the Snow Crawler, a snowmobile with a cabin, you get both contact with the snow and the warmth of home.
The International Consumer Electronics Fair CES 2015 has written its own story for this year, but the products presented in Las Vegas have only just begun to write their own. And if we had to look for a leading trend, it would certainly be the Internet of Things, a bunch of everyday objects that have stepped into the virtual world with one foot. Of course smartphones pulled the wagon, but there was much more. Check out what caught our attention.
The online men's magazine Four Pins, which is also devoted to style, has dressed the world's famous leaders in anything but ordinary clothes. With the help of Photoshop, she transformed them from strictly observed into "street style" or street clothes. And it must be admitted that they are good at it.
It wasn't long ago when screens on the backs of the front seats in airplanes were science fiction, when a call from a height of 11 thousand meters was impossible, let alone a wireless network. Today, all this is taken for granted. And those phones on airplanes. Those are long gone. As well as there is no longer a user who only wants to fly. Here is now a technologically "aware" traveler. The range is suitable for this, and airlines, including NASA, are always on the hunt for improvements.
