Class on Saturday

Here is the table of Future technology we wrote during our brainstorming session. I found it interesting the similarities our list had compared to the table of Kahn's predictions on page 173 or the Fortune Seller book.

Our list:
Medical
Nano Parts
Cybernetics - Bio-Cyber Blend
Genetics
Improved med diagnosis and treatments including Smart Drugs – promoting longevity
Weather:
80% accurate Weather forecasts
Hurricane Beans
Pollution
Under Sea Living
Solutions to trash
Transportation
Inexpensive Alternative fuels
Defeat Gravity/ Hover cars
Cold fusion Power Generations
Teleportation
Distance Travel in space
Self healing highways
Computing
Quantum Computing
New frontiers in wireless
Cell phone projection/ input

There it is. The same issues we face today are the same ones that Kahn predicted would already be in place by the year 2000.

Plus your class list is not unlike the forecasts listed in Technology's Promise, Carol.

Great minds think alike!
