“similar innovations, such as data-glove technologies have failed to find mainstream application domains outside the computer games industry, and this may be also prove to be the case for Digits”
Oh, the day is coming… yes, its coming.
When discussing how hacks are best executed in 2070 Shadowrun, things like this: “ the attacker(s) installed malicious software and stole project files related to one of Telvent’s core offerings — OASyS SCADA — a product that helps energy firms mesh older IT assets with more advanced ‘smart grid’ technologies” are exactly how. Exploiting the layers of code and the protocols established to connect all those layers…

First, of course, hacking is cool, especially white hats. Drone hacking is doubly cool. The fact that they did it by overriding the GPS is scary…
As real life technology continues to careen towards the technology of Shadowrun, AR Gloves have made a solid appearance on the scene. Not yet integrated in a ComLink, rather they are attached to an iPad at the moment. In any case, how long until we see an integration of all these technologies?
Ever been on a run and time is simply running out? Several attempts at some nice quiet wet work fail and you are left with Plan #E? This surely sounds like one of those days…
Investigators were working Saturday night to determine why a cyclist in Los Angeles was shot dead by an occupant of an SUV that had just struck him at an intersection.
In another example of technology rolling towards Shadowrun tech, this woman has a robotic arm controlled by thought. Neural interfaces continue to advance. Combine that with other advances and we’ll see attached, functional, cybernetic limbs in our lifetime!!

In yet another story of medical advances that bring us nearer to various reflex augmentations, a paralyzed 71 year old man regains use of his hands when the damaged nerves are bypassed.
Ok. Give me my Wired Reflexes R3!!
We’ve all heard about the Rooma. Now we have the Spyder, a drone that will keep your lawn mowed.
Fact 1: Each long count is 5125.36 years
Fact 2: Scientists pulled blood from a frozen man ~5,300 years old.
If they cloned him, his clone would live in the 6th world… Makes you think.

All one needs do is send out a search frame or browse program (ergo: google) for bodies in Mexico City to see there is a lot of blood blowing in that city. With the 6th world right around the corner, could we be seeing a little blood magic fueled event? Makes you think…
