Apple iPhone 7 is finally here. now if you're someone who has 60,000 to 92,000 rupees and is in the market for a brand new premium flagship, you can very well buy the iPhone 7 and you won't be disappointed. It is a capable phone and with the refreshed iOS10, has some cool new tricks up its sleeve.

But Apple is no longer the innovation powerhouse it used to be, which is why, I'm not going to waste any more time talking about it, I'd rather draw your attention to some cool disruptive tech like meat that is not meat.

Say Om Nom Nom to lab grown meat or cultured meat. Totally Sanskari.

Scientists are sooooo close to putting meat grown in petri dishes on the market. Yes, this includes bacon, beef burger patties, beef steak and what not. You heard that right: Scientists are now able to use animal cells and make them grow in a lab.

Lab cultured meat also means no animal cruelty, less greenhouse gas emissions and probably healthier options too! Basically, muscle tissue without the blood of cute cuddly pigs, goats and chickens.

Of course, there's a slight difference in how it tastes, compared to actual animal flesh, but scientists say they're really close to working out that kink.

And of course, there's nothing that the tikka masala can't hide. We live in a world where we're running out of space, livestock takes up 68% of all land on this planet.

Temperatures are soaring, so we need to start getting serious about our future on this planet and farting cows are surprisingly a huge threat to our survival. And that way, we can make sure animals don't get the raw deal.... gettit?
