Last but not least!
Lately, we've been noticing some suspicious similarities between the cold, heartless hardware we IT Pros work with throughout the day, and the warm loving people we come home to at night.

A start-up called Voltera launched a Kickstarter campaign this month and generated a lot of buzz with their product that allows you to 'print' circuitboards. Simply put in a board, upload a circuit diagram and the machine will print it for you in conductive ink.

Lastly this month, Google-owned Boston Dynamics has introduced a new, slightly less terrifying, consumer-friendly version of its four-legged robot.

See the future.
