The pace of innovation has been amazing over the last 100 years, yet I am more excited about what is still to come as we march toward the singularity. Here is my short-list of the once science-fiction technologies that have strong street appeal. These projects are coming out of the labs and soon into commercialization, and that is part of what makes them so interesting. We can almost get them in our hands!
- Augmented Reality
- Night Vision
- AI: Intelligent Software Agents
- 3D Displays
- CHP: Cogeneration
- Space Tourism
- Powered Exoskeletons
- Smart Drugs
- Electric Cars
- Serious Games: Education
Of course a complete list of every subtle technology would be too long to type, but these too will contribute to making everything else “better & cheaper”. What else should be on this list?
