Credit Card Replaces Phone, Keys, Music Player & More!

Hi, welcome to the future! You're new here, so you may want to subscribe to the IdeaNip Future Tech RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Imagine the device that unites everything that you carry along: a mobile phone, a player, your credit and discount cards, your apartment and your car keys. Several Patents now being processed promise such utopian functionality in a device the size of a credit card. These are early concept photos of the multi-function phone, music player, all your credit/debit cars and auto and home keys.

The device in size of a credit card 54 x 85.6 mm will replace all those separate items. Imagine indeed! It’s just around the corner!!

Watch TV Carbon Free! The Solar Powered LCD Television

At the G8 Summit, Sharp introduced a television technology that makes a lot of sense to me: A Television that provides it’s own power! It’s done through a thin solar panel technology and begs only one question of me. Must you watch it outside?

New phone breaks new ground by being old

Every once in a while a new technology borrows a form or function of an old technology and re-invents itself in the process. A company called Hulger Boutique Phones is doing just that by introducing a VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) phone that looks like the early phone handset style. Thinking about this a little more, it becomes obvious that it makes perfect sense. While phones have gotten smaller and more svelte over the years, they certainly are not more comfortable to use, even with those silly headsets. hulger-pc-phone-red-1-150x150 New phone breaks new ground by being old

The day when your cell phone turns into your PC

Designer James Piatt has introduced these new prototypes for a future concept phone called the “Plica” in answer to the cell phones industry arriving at a crossroads between small phones and big screens. This phone could double as a sub-notebook computer and would utilize both the Apple iPhone implementation of an all touch screen and the run of the mill clam shell design so popular in phones today. plica-concept-phone-150x150 The day when your cell phone turns into your PC

Don’t take shampoo, but a fireplace as your carry on is ok

Imagine being able to instantly create a romantic evening in front of the fireplace at just about any old Super 8 motel you get stuck in. It’s getting harder these days to convince HR to let you stay at the Sheraton, so here’s one solution.


At $4000.00, it’s for a wealthy Romantic….

Inventions like this sometimes baffle us. It’s not a Smart Car or a decked out Apple Macintosh Computer so what the heck is an idea like this good for? Well, like they say about things that are of such high quality, of such immense practical value, of such must have status: “if you have to ask…”

The slow and steady invasion of Robots

To quote my favorite comedy movie of the century: “They’re Here…”

I’m talking about Robots. Those upright, mechanized and humanized androids that have fascinated us in recent years. With the recent release of Disney/Pixars Wall-e Movie, I thought it would be a great time to explore the subject.

Step aside human…

When I was a kid and I wanted a robot, my dad would tell me: “Son, if you want a Robot you can have one. You just have to come up with a billion dollars- and don’t you come to me boy!”.

Not anymore…

Why the new HP Computer Design Makes Buku $ense

So Lovely!


I‘ll let you in on a little secret.  I haven’t paid my Cable or Dish bill in over 5 years!  That’s right,  I haven’t sent these guys anything every month and yet I have access to their FULL list of channels! Am I stealing it or running some kind of black box? No. So why haven’t they sent some masked black clad men after me collecting this enormous past due bill? 
Why haven’t they been blowin’ up my phone line?
