The key to our future and to the development of future generations is the energy revolution. We have to reconstruct the present so that our children will be able to see their future. These are important words about our future that are spoken by John F. Kennedy, the President of the United States himself. Although the video is fake, made by Greenpeace for the launch of their Energy Revolution campaign, it is moving nonetheless.

Nigerian Designer Samuel Adeloju has developed his Longreach Buoyancy Development System, a man-portable system that can deploy water-activated buoyancy devices to a drowning victim’s location. The bazooka-like device fires a condensed bullet of hydrophobic foam up to 492 feet away, which then expands up to 40 times its size in water in 15 seconds. Longreach is designed to be portable for carrying on boats, and is easy to operate. It is also equipped with a light for attracting attention, as well as Para-Flares for nighttime illumination. The Longreach Buoyancy Depolyment System has the potential to reduce the number of drowning accidents at sea.

FMRI scans being used as lie detecting machines. Researched by Dr.’s Scott Faro and Feroze Mohamed at Temple University, this new test may prove to be much more accurate that the Polygraph that is used today. FMRI scans allow doctors and scientists to view the activity of the brain during the scan. As Faro and Mohamed point out, the brain has to work much harder to try and lie than to just tell the truth because it has to suppress memories when it lies. This could be the key to using the fMRI as a lie detecting machine.

In today’s video, Lacoste, one of the most known brands of sports clothing in the world, imagines what the world of sports will look like in the year 2083. And the great part is, for those like myself who are interested in innovation, the final result, although a bit extreme, is completely believable. Biometric technologies will allow us to play sports beyond the actual ability of the human body. Sports will evolve and new sports will soon be created, just like this game of tennis.

In an interview on the Italian television program, Che Tempo Che Fa, Italian neurologist and Nobel Prize winner Rita Levi-Montalcini talks about the brain and the importance of helping others. What do these two topics have to do with one another? According to Rita Levi-Montalcini, we can control our actions and emotions by using a different part of our brain.

Italian neurologist, Rita Levi-Montalcini, in an interview with Italian journalist and television anchor Fabio Fazio, states that “progress and research must continue; you cannot lock up the brain”. What would lead this prestigious representative of the international scientific community to talk about the brain and the need for altruism?
Rita Levi-Montalcini was born in 1909 in Turin, Italy. Although her father believed that women should not pursue careers, Rita graduated summa cum laude from the University of Turin Medical School in 1936, and then completed a degree for specialization in neurology and psychiatry in 1940. She received the 1986 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her discovery with colleague Stanley Cohen of Nerve growth factor (NGF). Since 2001, she has also served in the Italian Senate as a Senator for Life.
Her intellectual curiosity is not limited to the study of scientific theory; she has also always been interested in changes in human society. Her research is not conducted simply out of scientific interest. She also has a strong belief and message for our future: it is fundamental for people, from a scientific point of view, to have an objective that includes helping out those who do not have the privilege of belonging to the scientifically and technologically elite.
Rita discovered that man is born gregarious, because he is guided by the part of the brain that is dominated by the limbic lobe, which is characterized by emotion. But what are the implications of this observation? Our actions, which come from the emotional part of our brain, can result in harmful consequences. Therefore, behaviors derive from primitive impulses. Her conclusion is that we can use our neocortex to offset these behaviors. In other words, our future can be changed. We must strive for the control and usage of the neocortex instead of the limbic system, in order to control our actions and behaviors.
