(Before It's News)

We live in a world of technology, and we can see new things invented by scientists and inventors every day. Just remember how in the past, things were done in hours; nowadays, it can take less than one minute for the same thing. We owe it to the technology, and to the latest inventions that are improving our lives considerably. We are talking here about the inventions of our century that helped us live in a modern world. If you are curious about them, here is a list of the top 10inventions of the 21st century:

 

10. Genetic Engineering

When scientist discovered genetic engineering, they considered it their greatest achievement. It is not right an invention, but helped humans to unlock not only the information found in the genes of the animals, but also to understand better the relation between new beings and their parents. It is also a big step that will help us to know our origins better, and to discover the way we are heading to.

 

9. Hypersonic Transportation

The transportation is one of the most important issues of our century. The way we travel changed so much in the last decades, due to the development in the hypersonic transportation area. Airplanes and trains are traveling nowadays with a speed almost equal to the light speed. And the technology is still developing, so in the future, you should expect even more surprises and innovative ways to travel.

 

8. Free energy

It is true that the 21st century is the century of information, but the energy is still the thing that makes everything move. If in the past, the humanity was relying only on fossil fuels, in our century, scientist discovered a lot of innovative ways to extract energy from various sources. We are not dependent on fossil fuels and gas anymore. We can create energy from wind, geo-thermal heat, water, and even sun. These techniques are still under development, but in the future, they will become extremely efficient energy forms.

 

7. Artificial Intelligence

People have been dreaming about smart robots for ages, but the artificial intelligence was only developed in the 21st century. If until now, robots, toys, or computers, where quite limited, the scientists are happy to be able to imbibe some intelligence in every device. Soon, all these devices will be able to understand us and our wishes, and to react according to our expectations. How cool is that?

 

6. Nanotechnology

For many people, especially for experts, this is the most fascinating invention in the technology field. Probably you’ve also heard about nanotechnology before; it is all about extremely small particles that can be seen only with a microscope. They are useful to the human body: the plan is to inject them into the system, where they can repair the cells and the organs. The reality is still far away from it, but it is for sure on the right way.
