Japan will build a robotic moon base:
There’s no technological reason why Japan
shouldn't be able to move forward with its ambitious plan to build a robotic
lunar outpost by 2020 — built by robots, for robots. In fact, there’s really no
nation better for the job in terms of technological prowess.The Institute for
the Future’s Mike Liebhold says, “There are private launch vehicles that are
probably capable of doing that, and I think the robotics by that point are
going to be quite robust.”
Cars will drive themselves
It's long been a dream of, well, just about everyone, from
Google and DARPA to automakersthemselves: utter safety and ease of transport
thanks to self-driving cars. There's movement being made, but the first hurdle
to clear is a big one: Getting all these heterogenous cars to speak to one
another. We don't yet have the wireless infrastructure, globally speaking, to
link all our cars with all our traffic tech.
We'll control devices via microchips
implanted in our brains:
The human brain remains biology’s
great, unconquered wilderness, andwhile the idea of meshing the raw power of
the human mind with electronic stimulus and responsiveness has long existed in
both science fiction and — to some degree — in reality, we likely won’t be
controlling our devices with a thought in 2020 as Intel has predicted. While
it’s currently possible to implant a chip in the brain and even get one to
respond to or stimulate gross neural activity, we simply don’t understand the
brain’s nuance well enough to create the kind of interface that would let you
channel surf by simply thinking about it.“Neural communications are both
chemical and electrical,” Liebhold says. “And we have no idea about how that
works, particularly in the semantics of neural communication. So yeah, somebody
might be able to put electronics inside somebody’s cranium, but I personally
believe it’s only going to be nominally useful for very, very narrow therapeutic
applications.
