Tomorrow's Technology Today: A new blog from Charles Fudgemuffin.

As an example of the type of stories covered, the most recent story on Tomorrow's Technology today focuses on the ambitious space program 'Project Xpansion' which plans to send spacecraft to specifically selected asteroids which have been identified as ‘resource rich’, and then via the use of robotic probes ‘harvest’ these asteroids of their valuable elements and precious metals, most notably gold.

Tomorrow's Technology Today reports on how scientists are looking further afield to the solar system in the quest to expand our supplies of gold and other valuable minerals.

The headline to the story reads, "As we consume the Earth’s resources, scientists are looking further afield to the solar system with a privately funded space program which could be good news for mankind, but bad news for gold speculators…" Given the program's potential to harvest significant quantities of gold you can perhaps understand why certain precious metals and commodities trading corporations, most notably Stebel Precious Metals Inc (SPMI), are getting in quite a flap about the potential harm this development could do to the value of their assets.

Anyway, over at Tomorrow's Technology Today both sides of the argument are covered and you can check out the full report at the following link:

Other noteworthy reports featured on Tomorrow's Technology Today include stories which will be of interest to football fans, sun lovers and environmentally conscious keep fit fanatics, so a wide range of technology stories are covered.

Football fans will be interested in the report on the patented Natural Motion Response Recognition System (NMRRS™), a simple electronic chip insert incorporating motion sensor technology which fits inside the lining of a pair of football boots. NMRRS™ is claimed to be able to detect the ergonomical differences between a legitimate foul and a simulated dive, thus enabling the system to detect diving cheats and potentially clean up the game of football.

Other exciting scientific developments include a new UV protection patch set to replace sunscreen lotion, and the Kinetic Capture™ insoles which store up the kinetic energy generated as you run and then later use this energy to charge up your iPhone.

Kinetic Capture Insoles. The perfect gift for the environmentally conscious fitness fanatic.

Many of the things we take for granted today would have seemed incredible only a few years ago, and as I learnt while researching a few reports for the blog, there are many more exciting projects currently being worked on by scientists around the world which look set to change the way we live our lives over the coming years.

As you've probably already realised, modern technology and the pace of scientific development is something which really excites me and on Tomorrow's Technology Today, I hope to cover many more exciting scientific developments over the coming months ahead.

Footnote:  If you want an independent opinion on Tomorrow's Technology Today, then Eric Whitacre was certainly impressed. After reading one update he commented on twitter, "That was awesome!" Disclosure: I added the exclamation mark, but the rest of the quote is true.
