The Top Ten Extreme Technology Trends for 2008
Hello All
I found this interesting linking to some forecasting trends writing by Dr. James Canton a renowned global futurist, social scientist, keynote presenter, author, and visionary business advisor. He is a part of the Institute of Global Futures which makes predictions and forecasts every year what the coming year's most impactful technology trends will be. In 2007 he made the following predictions about 2008 and beyond: "Advances in quantum computing, geo-engineering, green tech, nano-medical devices, wireless Internet, stem cell organs, and personal robots top the list. We see cheap, fast, connected, green and smart technology invading every industry from real estate, to retail, to financial services. Vast new power tools will accelerate global innovation creating entirely new industries in 2008. As a result, every business and every customer will be influenced by these trends."
The coming year's top technology trends are as follows:
- Practical Quantum Computing - This year will see breakthroughs in quantum computing that will provide useful applications in encryption and data mining that will move into the mainstream marketplace. Even Wall Street traders will be able to better predict the future outcome of financial markets by using quantum tools.
- Geo-Engineering - Pollution problems threatening the environment will require huge investments in sophisticated tech fixes to engineer climate, water and soil. Large scale, planetary scale engineering plans are in the works now to meet this challenge.
- Green Tech - The green and clean trend is just starting and will affect every product, consumer and company in 2008. New advances in green technology that will not harm, but help the planet, will emerge and be in demand in 2008. From fuels, to clothes, to hybrid cars—green tech will offer new alternatives to consumers and business alike. Every business must have a Green Tech strategy in 2008 to thrive.
- Nano-Medical Devices - Nano-technology is no longer hype, but a reality in 2008 for medical devices that will dispense drugs and even help restore organs and reduce cancers. Look for nano-telemedicine and nano-tele-surgery in 2008.
- Reality Mashups - This year the convergence of technology that connects people, from RFID to Wi-Fi, the Internet, cell phones and to cars will bring two billion people together over wireless global networks. When you combine geographic information with voice, video and search, you have one global dynamic trading and Connectivity Cloud.
- Personal Robots - Get ready for personal robots that protect, clean and entertain in 2008. The next generation of smart robots is coming to a shopping mall soon at cheaper prices all can afford.
- Stem Cell Organs On-Demand - Now that any cells can be used to develop stem cells, we will see organs created to prolong life and health starting in 2008. This will lead to an avalanche of new solutions for medicine that will drive life extension.
- iHealth - New wearable devices and information applications will empower consumers with real-time information customized to monitor and track the health status of individuals, measuring risks and downloading customized personal health info.
- CyberJacks - A new breed of rogue for-profit apolitical hackers will prey on banks, consumers and business, hacking into databases and stealing identities for the highest bidder in online identity trade marts. More networks get connected the more at risk.
- Immersive Web - The next generation of the web will be shaped by immersive technology that delivers sensation, experience and emotion in rich online worlds.
Based on the above extreme predictions for 2008 can we say which predictions from 1 to 10 is currently a reality with a caveat that 2008 not over yet.
Looking forward to your responses.

Olympic Fever and the use of technology
Hello all,
I have been offline for sometime due to isp problems. I also had to make an emergency trip to Jamaica to visit my mother who is kind of ailing. At this presnt time I am writing you all from my friends house who have access to the internet.
Olympic fever has taken over the whole country of Jamaica because of the outstanding performance of the Jamaican athletes in the 100m men and women track finals. Usain Bolt won the 100m men's running final in a blistering 9.69 seconds setting a new world record inthe event. Just today (08/20/08) he won the 200m race setting a new world record of 19.30s. It was pandemonium in Jamaica this morning when he did it. Also not to be outdone the women athletes are also performing at their best in making a clean sweep of the 100m womens track final in winning the gold medal for first place and two women tied for second place with the silver medal a first in the history of the olympics.
Congrats to Micheal Phelps for his amazing feat in winning 8 gold medals in one Olympics.
Technologies influence on the and the Olympics was in full display in one of Micheal's swimming race when it seemed as if that another competitor had won the gold medal because he had touched the wall with his fingertip but technology won out with such accuracy based on the reaction times and the super sensitive under water cameras that showed that Phelps's had indeed got to the finish line (the wall) before the other swimmer (Isn't technology amazing).
Also not to be outdone the women's 100m race showed at first that 2nd and 3rd place were distinguishable however on further examination through the use of computer enhanced imaging via the reaction time cameras the 2nd and 3rd place was actually two 2nd place with the times of both women being the same.
One Luv,

PS: I found this very interesting book about "the future of the internet and how to stop it " (Jonathan Zittrain (Yale)). Found it at Border's Bookstore.

RFID - The Future is now
Is this the answer to the supply chain debacle that has faced many manufacturing and distributing concerns over the past 3 decades.
Is this this precursor to the fabled 666 symbol of the Bible.(YOU WILL NOT ABLE TO BUY NOR SELL UNLESS YOU HAVE THE MARK OF THE BEAST http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEUUmy-FG_g&feature=related )
Check this out on youtube.com (type RFID in the search box)
