Future Technologies , warfare





In my search for inspiration for ideas for a future product advert I found some pruducts created for warfare . eg
This gun here has been developed to shoot round corners , it uses a camera above the nozel that adapts to the surroundings to keep a clear image , this is so soldiers aren't put at risk or can check around the corner before commiting themselves. A pretty effective good idea . Though apparently it can be a pistol which is a bit short ranged. Though knews just that they've created a grenade launcher that fires around corners. I've also heard that they have developed a laser gun that blinds people on the battle field (for a blinded solier is useless and would render another soldier the same , for he'd need to be helped out of combat). Though tehy say this weapon is too dangerous to the user at the moment and doesnt comply with human rights (anyway that could all be myth).
The army have also created amazing knew aircraft , like the B-2 bomber , which can meet altitudes that most plains can not , and due to its shape and radar seems it can be almost completely undectable to its enemys , the machine costed around $2.1 billion dollars (it seems obvious why such money is spent , for in the future I think if war is to embark , bombing will be the main form of combat) . Though I don't think war will ever happen , I see this as more of a defense . eg its America saying "don't start with us we've got this!". Also its a statement to America/s wealth.
Like I said earlier on , war is maybe the main factor in the acceleration in technology. Though in the future human survival may be (A pretty funny juxtaposition really). Anyway I'l go onto to talk about this in my future blogs.
Yeh so basicly my knew product add could be an advertisement for something that will become availible or saleable in the future , in the context of combat , or an for a product featured to encourage people to join the army , like a laser canon or what not , anyways we'll see.
