In the past, people envisioned the 2000s as a time where flying cars and jetpacks would be available. We haven’t quite gotten that far. Nonetheless, there are pieces of technology that, even today, feel like they belong in the future. It sometimes goes underappreciated how innovative and futuristic some of these things are. Here are some examples of technology that remind us the future is now. Drones In a sense, drones have been in use for a long time.

It’s hard to believe, but it’s been nearly 100 years since the first randomized controlled trial. Since then, these trials have formed the basis of modern medical discoveries. The tests split patients up randomly into two groups. One group was given the new, experimental medicine. The other was given a placebo. The idea was then to see if the drug had any effect beyond just the placebo effect. The methodology worked, and it went on to give us antibiotics, statins, and HRT therapies. But what randomized controlled trials couldn’t do was speed up the pace of innovation. The methodology was good at comparing drugs to placebos. But actually coming up with interventions that might work still involves a lot of guesswork. Sure, we might be able to test a compound’s efficacy. But that didn’t mean that it would work. Medicine, for the longest time, has been done by trial and…

Every industry is different, and therefore the vehicles needed can vary significantly in size, purpose and customisation. Sometimes, highly customised vehicles are required to carry out certain tasks and ensure projects are completed on time, and in these circumstances the need to access them at short notice is paramount. One key area where specialist vehicles are required is construction, with a variety of extras that can help to increase vehicles’ capabilities and ensure conformity with legal requirements. Racking, beacons and chapter 8 livery are all commonly requested among these vehicles, and this extends to a range of sectors, including utilities, telecoms and rail.
