Beyond Tomorrow

There is a special show about the innovations in various fields which is aired on Discovery Channel, from 20th to 24th Feb 2006 everyday at 8:00 pm, and then on from every Friday at 8:00 pm. Today I just happened to see the program. It showed some 5 or 6 innovations from some robots to improving the fertility in Cheetahs, among which a detailed review about the Airbus A380 and the company z-corparation were good. I am amazed at its gigantic structure and also its manufacturing process. It said that about 850 passengers could be seated if all were economic classes. That's really really a very huge number. And the thrust it generates for the pick-up is equivalent to that of 2000 cars. Not only that, they also showed the interiors which are well decorated, luxurious, has space for conferance, entertainment and much more. The other one was a thought-breaking innovation. PRINTING 3D. I mean, structuring 3D products out from a machine, just like how you get a paper out of the photocopier or a printer. Just check out this link http://www.zcorp.com/. It means just you can send any product instantly over the net. Just send it's 3d scanned image and the zcorp 3D printer is there for you to "print" it instantaneously(ofcourse, you should not take "instantaneous" in its literal meaning)
