5 Most Scariest Technologies Of The Present

#5 3D Printers:

3D printing is lately the most celebrated technology. Companies that supply these small cube shaped machines are popping up in every corner of the world. These machines help you make small pins to life sized guns from the security of your home. In fact, according to the reports almost 100,000 blue prints for 3D printing the guns were downloaded every month. There were also videos of people successfully shooting their 3D printed guns. If things proceed like this, we may soon be witnessing more shootouts like the Virginia Tech massacre, where a gunman shot down 32 innocent people in a college campus.

#4 Drones:

Like the 3D printing technology, Drones or the remotely controlled unmanned aerial vehicles are getting lot of popularity in 2013. We saw drones in the outfit of cats and spiders. Restaurant chains including Domino’s pizza is actively testing drones for delivering pizzas to customers and a restaurant in London already has drones delivering the food to table.

So if you think they are only used for good purposes, then read this: U.S is actively using the drones for war purposes from a long time killing an unaccounted number of people. Sure, they might be big ones, but the recent evolution in drone technology has made it as easy to manufacture one in home. You can soon expect surveillance drones flying in the bird’s outfit and peeping into your life as soon as you get out of your house, small killer drones that can easily shower chemical weapons & blow us up and eventually a drone war.

#3 Self Driving Cars:

The tech and automobile companies lead by Google are running the propaganda of driverless cars from a long time. Auto giants like Toyota and Mercedes Benz are also trying their hands in the same area. Recently, Google has successfully licensed its driverless cars and three U.S. states have already passed laws that allow driverless cars on road. Things go well if our roads are completely filled with these autonomous cars having their own brains. But a mixture of human and computer driven cars can go well beyond control.

Moreover, even the sophisticatedly built rockets fells prey to computer glitches. Even though there are existing technologies to assist self parking and navigating, you will hesitate at least for a moment to hand over the control of a moving car at 70 Kmph to a computer. However, if you believe in technology, as they say, “everything is possible.

 #2 Hadron Collider:

The Hadron collider is undoubtedly the world’s largest and most powerful particle smasher. The 27-kilometer circular tunnel running 175 metres underground at the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) near Geneva is built to address the unsolved questions of Physics along with the birth and evolution of universe and also the earth.

The large Hadron Collider smashes protons together at light speed, thereby creating powerful energy particles, which even has the capacity to create a black hole that can swallow the earth completely. The first ever experiment in the collider went off beam with a helium leak that forced it to be shut down for almost a year. But later it was successfully made operational. The facility will reportedly shut down in 2013 to upgrade the energy capacity. However, many people including scientists are concerned about the possibility of a greatest manmade disaster ever in history.

#1 Google Glass:  

Google Glass is undoubtedly the latest and biggest innovation in wearable tech. But the beautifully designed eye-wear cum computer can well bring the end to what humans care for the most- Privacy. Adding to it, the innumerable possibilities one can exploit from the power of Google Glass is actually scaring people. Followed by these, some restaurants, pubs and Casinos have even banned the glass well before its arrival.

Even Google is taking precautions itself before the device reach public. A recent release from the tech giant read like this: "Don't let children under 13 to use Glass as it could harm developing vision. Glass isn't for everyone. Like when wearing glasses, some people may feel eye strain or get a headache. Kids might break Glass or hurt themselves, and Google's terms of service don't permit those under 13 to register a Google account."
