From the «I thought the Wall of Twitter was to keep out the Huns» department: Title: Technology for the 2014 World Cup Author: zafiro17@pipedot.org Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2014 07:17:25 -0400 Link: http://pipedot.org/story/2014-07-10/technology-for-the-2014-world-cup Sports bring about advances in technology too, although less frequently and all too often, chemically. But after watching the last couple of matches of FIFA World Cup 2014, I thought I'd look into what new technologies were being used or had been put into usage in order to present the World Cup. Here are five bits of technology being used in this cup[1], but be warned, one of them is the frikkin' "Twitter Wall," which I'm not sure counts as innovation.Stick around though. In another 35 years, if these guys' prediction is correct, we'll have FIFA robots playing their own World Cup[2], and we can bet our money on which robotic team will win it. Hopefully by that time we'll all be getting back and forth to work on an advanced version of these rocket skates[3] too, if only to ensure we can still outrun the robots.
