Imagine being able to unlock your car doors and start your car engine with the wave of your hand. Imagine being able to make all of your purchases without your purse, wallet, checkbook, or credit card. Pretty soon, you may not have to imagine that at all, thanks to the advanced technology of RFID (radio frequency identification) implantable microchips. VeriChip has been developing RFID chips for the past 5+ years with the original purpose to assists doctors treat non-communicable patients, as well as act as a tracking device on animals. The radio frequency chip would be inserted between the thumb and the forefinger, and is about the size of a large rice grain.

There has been much opposition from religious groups and critics who claim that these devices can cause cancer and that such implants are the work of the devil. Another obstacle the RFID chip would have to face is the fear of getting the chip implanted through an injection, something that causes most people to cringe. For now, VeriChip is only marketing to the medical fields, but they say if and when people want the chip to be able to do more, such as pay for things and open locked doors, the technology will be ready to do so.

Nissan has joined the race to create and sell the first practical electric car, and they plan to do it come 2010 - approximately 1 year from now. The Nissan Leaf, as they call it, is expected to achieve up to 100 miles per battery charge with a top speed of 75 mph. The leaf is a pure electric car that runs on lithium-ion batteries and can hold up to 5 passengers. This battery is estimated to fully recharge within 8-16 hours, depending on the wattage of the outlet.
The target economies for this new future electric car are the United States, Europe, and Japan. The starting price for this innovative sedan will be somewhere between $25-30,000, a price that is much less than its prestige rival, the Tesla Model S which costs $58,000 and debuts in 2012. Hopefully these new electric cars pave way for making future cars less expensive and less oil-dependent.
