2025: More technological goodness will play an increasing role in our lives

I know that I've said this before, but I'm going to say it again. It used to be that if you were rocking some sort of hybrid or all-electric vehicle that it would have to look out of this world for some reason or another. That trend is quickly changing with these more environmentally-friendly options blending right in with their gasoline-guzzling counterparts. One of the best examples of this "I don't look special" trend is the Stealth motorcycle. Boasting a conventional appearance, this bike is actually all-electric, powered by a set of lithium-ion batteries.

There are no cylinders or displacement to speak of, but the developers are saying that it "has a horsepower equivalent to a 500-cc bike, and it tops out at around 50mph." Yeah, it's not crazy fast like a Hayabusa, but it's quick enough to zip you around city streets. The riding experience might be very eerie at first, though, because the Stealth motorcycle -- as its name implies -- makes nary a sound.


The Discovery Channel gazed into their crystal ball a little while back, looking into what our lives would be like in the year 2025. Given the current trends in technology, they see that more technological goodness will play an ever-increasing role in our everyday activities, and while I could go on and on about what may come, I'll let the five part video do that for me. Definitely worth a watch.
