      Today. Futuristic technology is all around us. Imagine being able to scan an object and then print a copy of that from a 3D printer? That was not possible in the past. Today we 3D print many different objects. In fact there are researchers and engineers in Ireland who are trying to print human cells so that some day we can 3D print new organs when we need them. Imagine needing a new heart and not having to wait on a donor? There is future technology all around us. It is developed so fast that sometimes we don’t even think of it as future technology. Just look at virtual reality technologies. They are developing so fast. Snapchat tests an awful lot of augmented reality filters where they layer images over the real world to make it look like you are a cat etc. Just keep your eyes open or the future technology might pass you by.
