The Gibraltar Bridge is a conceptual structure spanning the Strait of Gibraltar that would connect Europe to Africa.

WHOO-HOO! STRAIGHT FROM WIKIPEDIA!! Basically it's an uber-long bridge that will connect Europe to Africa, home of Far Cry 2's protagonists! KILL THE JACKAL!

Fog Screen


A fog screen is a fog of water droplets that you can project images onto. You can also walk through it without getting wet because the microscopic water droplets feel dry like air. By the way, I saw a fog screen on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. A Davy Jones image was projected onto it.

Robots

Hmm? What do you think when you hear the word Robot? The androids from DBZ? That robot from Ratchet and Clank? Well...WRONG! I wanted you to think about real robots! You get an F. I wanted to hear about robots like ASIMO. He can walk up STAIRS! AWESOME!!

A robot will usually have these properties.

It is artificially created.
It can sense its environment, and manipulate or interact with things in it.
It has some ability to make choices based on the environment, often using automatic control or a preprogrammed sequence.
It is programmable.
It moves with one or more axes of rotation or translation.
It makes dexterous coordinated movements.
It moves without direct human intervention.
It appears to have intent or agency.


An example of a robot would be ASIMO:

3D Printer




Hmm...A 3D printer? You know what that means...IT'S A WITCH! BURN THE 3D printer!! But seriously, a 3d printer is a printer that is able to print objects. It creates three dimensional objects by layering and connecting successive cross sections of material. It exists today but it is still a prototype. Also, 3D printers are faster, more affordable and easier to use than other fabrication technologies.

Flying Cars


Okay! Law requires me to explain what a flying car is even though it's pretty obvious what it is. A flying car is a car that can travel on roads and in the air. An example would the flying cars in the Jetsons. George Jetson has a flying car. So far in history, there have been many experiments and some cars have been built that are capable of flying, but not free flight. Some of examples of experimental flying cars are the Haynes Aero Skyblazer, the Moller Skycar M400, the Urban Aeronautics X-Hawk, and more. Some flying cars have even been put on sale. But I don't recommend buying something that still is being developed.
