Real Life Engineers & Scientists Create Tricorders

Scientists in the future along with engineers will build tricorders, as is seen on the original Star Trek series.  Tricorders detect everything from the human body to aliens to the natural world and beyond, identifying what things are made of and what they are theoretically and their state of wellness or injury.  Just like on Star Trek this could be used for medical purposes and scanning planets.



The 'tri' in tricorder means 3 functions: sensor scan, data analysis and recording data.  There are different types of tricorders.  There is an engineering model which was used for analyzing and fixing machines.  This is what engineers are going to use in the future.  Another kind of tricorder is what the doctors used to examine an injured or sick person.  The medical tricorder made it so people would heal a lot faster, like broken bones or bleeding.


The closest technology that we have now is an iPhone or an LG.  Scientists and engineers are probably working on making a real life tricorder.  A tricorder would be more efficient and more user friendly than an iPhone or an LG.  


This is an attachment for the tricorder that will be used in the future.  An example is that this could be used for medical, engineering or other scientific purposes.  When a tricorder becomes reality and is no longer a toy, I will buy one or 5---for me and my friends!!  If you still read blogs please leave commentary!  Feel free to comment on the tricorder or any of my other blog posts.
