The future of technology is something that has always intrigued human societies. Science Fiction writers in the past have often taken a stab at what might be in the future. Some are laughed at, some not, but many are revenged by the exact technologies they described coming into existence, sometimes before their deaths, often much later.
Predicting the future is difficult as generally we use the past as a reference without seeing the convergence of such technologies. The author of the Best Selling book "The Black Swan" seems to challenge the foundation of futurism as silly in that there are events, which will occur that you cannot predict which will change future history, no matter how well you plan or how much you think about it. If you are interested in futurist studies, then may I suggest the following topics to study and consider to help get you going:
- 3D Holographic Projection and Spectral Imaging (future of living room)
- Carbon Nano-Tube Car Bodies to save weight boost fuel economy
- Alternative Energy Concepts; Ocean Waves, Algae Bio Fuels
- LED lights and Energy Conservation
- Water Conservation Technologies
- Video Holographic Cell Phones
- Voice-Video-Infrared Security Systems
- Human/Brain Interfaces
- Life Extension
- BioTech Disease Innovations
- Vibrational Energy Medicine
- Laser Weapons
- Stealth Aviation Technology
- E-Government Initiatives
- Artificial Intelligent CEOs
- Artificial Intelligent Software Programming Machines
- Underwater Cavitation Propellers that Oxygenate Dead Zones
- Asteroid Deflection Strategies
- Future of Earthquake Predication
- Hurricane Diversion Technologies
- Weather Control Exploits
- RFID Unique Uses
- Traffic Mitigation Tech
- Space Energy Schemes
- Space Colonies on Moon and Mars
- Mapping Systems for Ocean Floor
One way futurists predict the future is by considering current technologies of today or those that are on the cutting edge and then projecting those out into the future and thinking on what potential applications might solve a pressing issue that plagues mankind. By studying the above technologies and the advances in these sectors about you will have a good basis to predict the future. Please consider this list and enjoy the interesting studies that await.
