I want one, but why? Heatit

I didn't even realise it was a field which was still moving foward these days, with everything being so computer-based.

Perhaps there's something in that statement as to why engineering in the UK has taken a step backwards. It's a real shame.

Stuff I did not hear of 15 year ago:

curved displays, biometric sensors the size of needle, blue / white LEDS, diodes / transistor that can handle current and voltage you'd expect from a clunky RCD (residual current device you have them in the fusebox), in hospitals you now have MRI units than can polarise specific molecules and even radiotherapy that can target individual cells instead of a 'rough area'.

Exciting times in for electronic engineering. I suspect in the not to distant future most folks will have biometric sensors on them in one form or another and be able to monitor the levels of various elements in their body.
