I think this type of "gadget" would be neat and in 2018 sold cheap in stores. The military could use it too and I think some cool scenes are also possible e.g. if a scapegoat is needed, throw a picture onto the wall and run.

another cool idea woulb be magnetic fluids as some kind of amor for tanks, aircrafts or other other units. maybe in association with non-newtonian fluids. for example how such a fluid armor could work it is to say that some non-newtonian fluids frezzes at a frequency of 44 Hz. so at first radar or such a thing registerate an enemy ship and the fluid "flows" in the direction, so it could transfor into a solid shield in the right moment.

Fab Labs

The Fab Lab has been born and will be an increasingly important part of 21st century life:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fab_lab

Fab Labs allow rapid prototyping of inventions. Following the original model, they should be free and open to the public. You can use them to manufacture one-of-a-kind items, all you need is a digital file from a CAD program. The link below shows me using my local Fab Lab to make a bicycle mount for my GPS receiver.

By 2018 I might be able to go to my Fab Lab and make a weapon, RADAR unit, rocket pack, or other items useful for fighting Moon Nazis. Of course I might also use it to make mundane things like parts for my car, utensils for my kitchen, or paperclips for my office. And others might use it to make exotic things like sculptures of insects, artificial body parts, or even sex toys.

The future of PCs.

New ways of using the computers

Playstation 5

In 2018 Sony just released the Playstation 5 ;-)

The Evening of the NEW WORLD ORDER!!

as the NAZI have lived in the shade of the shadow of the sun on the DARK SIDE OF THE MOON! In 2018 due to the more significant evidence of world corruption by large commercial companies, technology has almost came to a complete stand still. The only new technology exposed to the world would have to be in the media to help keep the human species in a trance like or an idle state. The reason for this is cause in 2012 and the fear of the destruction of the planet due to religious fanatics, the world population had enough of the abusive fascist states. A global civil unrest amongst the newly created global union ( which it is compressed of political parties and large corporations eg. wal-mart McDonald diamond company's health companies ) sparked a furious battle which left most of the major cities in complete police control, a massive world wide . where as the leaders of the new world revolution fight ( named: hidden agendas ) took refuge in abandoned areas to create a rebound attack. But during this time most of the science is built into keep the civilization under contorl and WATCHED AT ALL TIME! The hidden agendas are creating a new science\old tactics using conciseness and third eye concepts for the last and deceiving blow of a real spiritual war.. During this civil world war there was no real production of any new goods to come into reality. So anything up to 2012 is now the only reality. same vehicles same type of clothing, phones, weapons. Besides the weapons for the government using prototype weapons towards the end of the war when they got a foot hold on the war. The prototype weapons where experimented on humans in small towns across the globe. Weapons can include flame rounds, microwave hand weapons, pulse bombs, droids. Media being the first line of defense all funds are placed into ( home defense ). Im seeing a mixture of 1984 and the movie NETWORK!

Robots

Robots really are starting to take jobs. Robotic garbage cans mean no garbage men. (they get beat up alot, so everything's still dirty)

Robotic pilots taking over airliner jobs. Everyone prefers the robotic McDonald's because at least you get decent service. Masses of unemployed people making the ongoing Great Recession even worse. And of course, those with jobs are on strike.

The Polar Caps have continued to melt, and coastline cities are starting to flood and become submerged underwater.

In reality...

I think in reality though, if the nazi's did return for world domination i think we would be stuffed, like a turkey. I think we would be caught short between the end of the carbon generation and developing whatever future power technology we can can up with. Can you imagine a ship in sub orbit being powered by wind turbines then once it hits space breaking out the solar panels!? Now theres a thought ...
