                  Inventions of the future that must already exist

We live in the world of technology. Yesterday's future is rapidly becoming the past for us. Engineering and technology are changing at an incredible pace, appearing and soon becoming obsolete.

Now many ideas of science fiction novels came true. Let’s take a look at the inventions of the future, which should have already appeared or are going to appear very soon.

1. Time machine

Theoretically, the idea of the time machine is well described, but its practical implementation is not yet available. Moreover, the main question is not the fact of travel, the ability to see the events of the distant past or possible future, but the theory of time, its linearity or multivariance...

2. Antigravity

Antigravity could have a significant impact on the transport system and construction technology. Even humankind could change. Indeed, lack of weight greatly affected appearance and physiology of an organism. Although on the other hand, have you really never wanted to flutter like a butterfly, without experiencing load, without feeling your own weight!

3. Holograms

We are close to appearance of holographic images. There are already 3D technologies that are becoming more affordable and widespread. Although so far these are just some visual effects, we still have a long way to go to fully simulate reality using holograms.

4. Food vending machines

There are infinitely many variants of this invention. But the main point is that you can get almost any substance with set parameters. How exactly a vending machine works - transforming one substance into another, or synthesizing something from nothing - is not important. Some restrictions on the use of technology are also expected, but in general the idea is very interesting, especially in terms of the growing global population and the food problem.

5. Laser weapons

Science fiction has produced an infinite number of types and kinds of laser weapons. They can be in the form of lightsabers or laser guns that spew a beam of coherent light. A powerful weapon the main problem of which is energy consumption. And by the way its prototypes have already long existed

6. Androids

Robotics is already quite advanced. Robots are becoming more complex and smaller in size. They can perform quite complex functions, master human professions and emotions. But so far they are not capable of full communication, although significant progress has been made in the field of artificial intelligence.

7. Teleportation

Teleportation is everyone's dream. This technology is especially important for everyone who waste time in traffic jams, gets late for a meeting, even for those who find it so hard to get away from the computer and go to bed. Teleportation would make our lives more exciting, cities cleaner. It would solve problems of transport, fuel, clean environment.

8. Invisibility

Invisibility in everyday life would be a big problem. Although it would be rather a socio-psychological problem. But for military purposes, invisibility is being actively developed as perfect camouflage. There is already invisibility technology in certain wave spectra, such as "stealth technology", and invisibility cloaks with very good results have also been developed.

9. Flying cars

This invention is almost here. Until now, flying cars were created only as experimental models, but the first flying car for mass production and sale has already been certified in the USA!

10. Jet engine suits

In general, jet engines are developed quite well at the moment. But there is a problem of their energy efficiency and controllability. There are jetpacks, but they are still used as expensive toys only.

United Kingdom

Many people will now want to get the status of British pets. The British Parliament has granted the rights and freedoms of the inhabitants of the British Isles to 7 million dogs, 8 million cats and cats, 650 thousand horses, 2 million rabbits and non-countable poultry. The law provides for stricter liability of animal owners for breaking the law: from large fines to imprisonment.

In the UK until 1987, compulsory registration of domestic dogs was valid, which cost 37 pence. The money went to the needs of local authorities. In the absence of a license, the police had every right to take the animal to the kennel or destroy it if the dog is aggressive. However, this measure was not very successful. According to official UK data, approximately half of the owners did not register their dogs. After the abolition of compulsory registration, the British Parliament adopted a number of laws and regulations that governed the actions of local authorities and the police. The Clean Environment and Environment Act, passed in April 2008, excluded the fight against homeless animals from the duties of the police and transferred them completely to the administrative authorities.

If a stray dog appears in the city, either special municipal services or private organizations that cooperate with the administration come for her. They wait for six to seven days to see if there is a master of the lost animal. If this does not happen, the dog is sent to special kennels. Dogs stay there until they are taken. The euthanasia of dogs in kennels is not practiced.
