from the does-anyone-care? dept

USA Today is running an article looking at three new technologies, all of which we've covered here before: a microphone that makes you sound like you're singing better, the Toyota that parks itself, and the always popular Roomba. The article points out that for a few years now we've been entirely focused on "online" technologies - but now we're seeing a lot more physical world technologies catching on creating the sort of Jetsons-like futuristic world people talked about fifty years ago (which they thought we'd already have by now).
