This video shows the the short term prospect of technology and civilization in general.

Fountain of Youth

This is my grandfather on his 110th Birthday

The fountain of youth has been developed. Scientists have found a way to shut off the aging process and actually reverse the process. It was a big discovery one hundred years ago. No the the world is overpopulated. As of now, there are over 160 billion people on this planet. The number only increases. With nuclear fusion energy, even the poorest of countries have developed industry and can offer this fountain of youth to anyone.

Free Energy!

I have this, in a can.

Nuclear fusion is finally hear. Scientists have finally been able to fuse hydrogen atoms together. This has created an unlimited, clean and renewable resource. The only problem, you can not make money off this invention. We'll keep this underwraps until we are completely out of fossil fuels.

Prediction for the Future

Mom, my head feels funny. It's also glowing.

Bold prediction for the future, in the next 20 years, we may have neural implants that connect us to the internet. I have no proof other than the large advances in technology. Advances such as nanotechnology, circuit minituarization, advances in display technology and the wide spread use of wireless internet. Combined, there may be enough to implant a chip in our brains that allows you to browse the internet on thoughts alone.

Are Home Computers Dead?

Home Computers are slowly becoming obsolete and I have proof.
Exhibit One: The Smart Phones
These gadgets are capable of doing just about anything a regular desktop can do. E-Mails, Internet, Directions, Communications, Music and a whole slew of other things.


Exhibit Two: Google Docs

Google Docs is an office suite, similar to Microsoft Office, that is based completely online. This includes storage of your files and it's all for free. There's no longer a point of having a central computer at home to store files when you can do everything you need from any computer in the world.

Exhibit Three: The iPad

Yes, even the iPad is against the home computer. It sits in between a smart phone and a computer but sits there pretty firmly. It has already sold out when it was released. The iPad will help usher in a new era of user interactions with computers.

Exhibit Four: Gmail/Online Storage

Storage is cheap. Google will offers gigabytes of storage just for signing up for an email account. There is no reason to store files locally when everything can be on the "cloud."

Living at the Speed of Light

Intel, one of the largest entities in technology, is currently developing a new method of data transfer. Utilizing fiber optic cabling, Light Peak is being heralded as a possible successor to the recently released USB 3.0 standard. However, Intel is planning to release Light Peak as a complimentary technology. Current chipsets in development are all backwards compatible with USB.
The primary cause for Light Peak's development is a need for faster storage. Light Peak's transfer rate is currently at 10 Gb/s, while USB 3.0 tops out at 5 Gb/s. Intel is planning to release Light Peak some time between late 2010, and early 2012.

Holograms on a 2D disc?

Now that the HD war is over and the dust has settled people are looking towards next generation of optical storage. Holographic Versatile Disc are the future of optical storage. With current estimates the new HVD will be able to store 3.9 terabytes of data. That is 80 times the storage of current blu-ray discs.
