The Futurist's Playground

This section is just the fun stuff, included based purely on entertainment value. However, beyond the review are extras that analyze the item's futuristic plausibility and implications.

Though this section is mainly for entertainment value, it's important to appreciate the futuristic thinking that goes into them. While you're strolling the countryside with a shoulder-mounted laser cannon, wouldn't it be interesting to know if that is the sort of military technology we could see in the future? If so, what are the social and environmental implications? This is the sort of analysis included in the extras.
