15 Things That Prove We Live in the Future, and It’s Great Here

We all encounter technological advances that make us ask ourselves, why does this exist? For example, there’s an app called “Nothing,” and there’s nothing, indeed — you just see a black screen whenever you open it. The weird thing is, it has been downloaded more than a million times. Luckily, there are still apps and gadgets developed all the time that actually make our lives easier.

We at Bright Side found a few examples of useful futuristic inventions that seem like they are from a sci-fi movie.

1. A smart sleeper that uses white noise and adaptive rocking to soothe the baby and help with falling asleep

2. A sensor for quick testing of the quality, calorie count, and freshness of food and liquids.

3. A pocket washing machine: it uses ultrasonic waves to clean the clothes delicately.

4. A neckband speaker that only you can hear while still being aware of what’s going on around you
