Unmanned killer drones now being used for something nearly as lethal - the delivery of Tacos.

This is a new technology developed from Space robotics. Its a powered glove, that enghances your grip. So it enhances your grip, if you add a certain amount of pressure while you are wearing it - it doubles the pressure, meaning it takes less of an effort to grip.
Great for serious business handshakes!

This is great, electronic circuit boards that just plug and play, with magnets, designed to get people to think about electronics. Created by artist and engineer Ayah Bdeir. Definitely on the shopping list for my daughter’s birthday. From TED2012
