Steve Caplin looks forward to contactless cards which have built-in fingerprint scanners. He also tells of a new way to send large files, a computerised landscape artist, a pedal-assisted car that can reach 120mph, how facial recognition can lead to happier pigs, a new mono-wheel scooter, a drone with flapping wings, a Steinway that will let you record yourself and why hipsters and other anti-conformists end up looking the same.
