The Future This Week: Cars, Satellites, and Bionic Fingertips

By B.J. Murphy

In The Future This Week, Serious Wonder reaches out into the digital sphere in search of this week’s headlines of the future, from zero energy furniture to the development of a Russian satellite that could become the brightest light in the night sky. This week we’re given a glimpse of the future that is already in the making, from futuristic self-driving vehicles manufactured by BMW to bionic fingertips that provide tactile feedback which emulates the physical, biological touch.

Whether we’re looking near or far, the future always seems to be in our sights. We dream of the impossible and aim for its possibility. Doing so has allowed us to overcome many obstacles in a shorter period of time than we ever predicted. We continuously prove ourselves wrong in just how close the world of tomorrow really is, making the world a better and more exciting place one step at a time. Welcome to the future!
