You can check the video out above yourself, but the fast delivery speed was made possible thanks to Amazon’s autonomous drones and a nearby warehouse just outside of town.Ĩ. From “click to delivery” it was a total of 13 minutes, which is crazy fast. Amazon first introduced the idea of completely autonomous drone delivery back in 2013 with a cutesy video that seemed straight out of a science fiction novel.īut now, Amazon has announced that it’s actually completed its first delivery through its Prime Air service. Here’s the first on the list of previously announced tech that is actually coming to life for the first time. Storage capacity is one of those categories that is just constantly innovating and pushing forward with more and more storage in smaller packages for cheaper prices.ĩ. The SanDisk 512MB SD card currently goes for $345, so expect it to be significantly more than that. We don’t quite know the price yet, but it won’t be cheap. The fact that we can now stuff that same storage capacity in a tiny SD card is truly mind-boggling. I still remember when the first 1TB USB flash drives were coming out-it wasn’t so many years ago.
Either way, this has once again been a big year for technology.įrom batteries to space rockets, here are the 10 best technology advances of 2016: Interestingly, a bunch of the crazy forward-thinking tech that has been announced in the past couple of years actually came to life this year, which is sometimes even more exciting than whatever eccentric new idea Elon Musk has. Whether it’s being applied to consumer-facing products today or research that’ll take hold in the years to come, 2016 had its fair share of industry-shaking technology advances. We say it every year, but technology moves forward at a breakneck pace.
