What technology exists that most people probably don't know about?

I would like to see some really cool examples of stuff I didn't know was out there.
Share some cool technology you just recently learned about or have known about.

Memory specialist SanDisk has created an SD card with 512 gigabytes (512GB) of storage space - the highest capacity ever released.

The card, which is the size of a postage stamp, will go on sale for $800 (£490).

The launch comes a decade after the firm released a 512-megabyte (MB) SD card with one-thousandth of the space.

Experts believe SD cards could eventually hold up to 2 terabytes (TB) of data, about 2,000GB.

The new card is aimed at film-makers shooting in the high-quality 4K format.

The 4K format - which is four times the resolution of HD - requires large file storage. Depending on compression, a single minute of 4K shooting will typically take around 5GB of storage space.

Mind reading headphones!

Apparently, these headphones can sense the mood you're in, and they change the song to fit the emotion. Source
