POPSInventions - the 19th Century Many of these seem so much part of life, others seem so primitive in comparison to our time, and yet they were invented not so long ago. A full list on source.

POPSGM says Chevy Volt is on track for 2010 I sure hope they can pull this off. The introduction of a rechargeable electric car has the potential to be a game changer for our economy and global dynamics. I would imagine that the response to this in the market would dwarf that received thus far by hybrids. We are talking about truly revolutionizing one of the most important industries in the world. And don't forget the ripple effect this will have by creating the need to make enormous investments in our national electricity grid.

POPSVoice Activated Alarm Clock The clock utilizes the advanced speech recognition technology, allowing you to shout a command and the clock working right at it at the stop of your sentence. It has the ability to recognize ten spoken commands, allowing you full control over the setting of the time, the alarm, the date, the alarm sound, along with other cool extras such as a “Stop” for a snooze for five minutes.

POPSLightweight Batterly-Powered ElectricFlyer C Mini-Plane Takes Off On The Cheap The ElectraFlyer C is a carbon fiber-shelled mini plane that runs on electricity, and it also looks like a lot of fun. It's a mash-up of a commercially available glider body and a lightweight battery and motor/propeller assembly. It can fly for 90 to 120 minutes at up to 90MPH, and you can recharge it in about six hours from a regular 110 volt outlet for about 60 cents. Oh, and it's received its airworthiness cert, meaning it's perfectly legal.

POPSGreat Idea - Now Make it Even Better This bike, despite its cost, looks like a pretty great idea. It's much lower scale than getting a moped or scooter, but still provides power to get you around. Now if they really wanted to make this a great bike, they'd set it up so that if you pedal instead of using the motor, your pedaling charges the batery. Maybe that'll come in the next version?
