An Aereo antenna array, with a bunch of broadcast TV antennas crammed on a tiny board. We have all of the technology we need to have the television of our dreams. To have every video in the universe streamed to us, on demand, from our high-speed internet connections.

They also show promise for the organic nanobots that will enable the bodynet

BodyCom is a new technology from Arizona-based Microchip that uses the human body as a secure communication channel. As the number of devices at our disposal continues to increase, authentication and security become more important than ever. The system communicates bi-directionally between a centralized controller and one or more wireless mobile fobs, using the human body as the transmission medium. So, a gun could only be used by the person with the right key fob, for example, or a pet door could be secured so only the right pet can open it. Neither RF antenna nor wireless transceiver are required by the system, which also offers low power consumption. Other potential applications include security systems, patient monitoring, and gaming profile management.

Heineken-owned cider brand Strongbow Gold developed a prototype for StartCap, the world's first digital bottle cap. A tag embedded in the protected cap sets off RFID scanners placed in bars or at events, which then trigger celebratory surprises such as music, water fountains, confetti cannons or, curiously, automatic Foursquare check-ins. The RFID tags connect to an antenna to read a radio signal that communicates with a computer to produce the unexpected wonders. Thus far, StartCap has only been used at launch events in Europe, but an online teaser video is already building buzz.
