Bionic technology and prosthetics have advanced greatly in recent years and have already started two-way communication between prostheses and the brain. The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory has come the furthest to date, developing a modular bionic arm that is controlled by thought and is even more mobile than current prostheses that replace an amputated limb. In addition, it also enables sensory perception.

Although many people think that Mars is our next stop, since it is in many ways the mirror image of Earth, NASA has been toying with the idea of life on Venus, which is also called Earth's evil twin, for some time.

Language is often an insurmountable barrier, but the popular service for free online conversations, which also offers cheaper calls to mobile and landline networks, Skype is trying to put an end to this.

Exo is an excellent example of how humans turn to nature for ideas, to its models, processes and elements that help us solve human problems. The Exo iPhone case was inspired by the exoskeleton of an animal (hence the name) and discreetly protects the most sensitive and exposed parts of the phone, absorbing shocks that the case and screen would otherwise receive.
