Lets take a journey together. A journey into the not-so distant future.

Scientific advancements of the future


Here in the future, we dont think in terms of gadgets any longer. Theyre no longer accessories, theyre augmentations which enhance our life, our productivity or our abilities within a given field of knowledge, industry or profession. Now that were harnessing the abundant power of the human body, theres no longer any need for batteries and such like. And our bodies no longer simply power such devices, they play host to them, too. What remains of the gadgets we once knew are merely the fascias. In a very real sense, we skin these devices to suit our very own skin. As mobile phones become thinner, and as we inch closer to living cell microelectronics, we just have to rethink why we call these things cell phones in the first place!

Predictions Of Human Technological And Scientific Advancements


Such a small devices screen could be as thin as sheet of paper, inserted onto the inside of your wrist, equipped with a touch screen display. While the earpiece and the microphone could be either implanted close to the ear or throat, or be implanted close to or inside the brain, serving other such devices that have similar needs, too. Communication is central to almost everything we do, so its no accident that the example I provide is that of a mobile phone. And as wireless communications technologies become more prevalent even wireless energy being a real possibility we might never need to see a cable again. The world of consumer electronics technology wont just inspire people and help save the environment, itll get right under their skin

Meeting the Energy Requirements


Antimatter When the opposing spin particles meet, they annihilate each other and release tremendous amounts of energy as dictated by Einsteins famous equation, E=mc2. Fuel Cells Hydrogen fuel cells might seem like the perfect alternative to fossil fuels. They can generate electricity using only hydrogen and oxygen and are pollution free. Nuclear Albert Einstein told us that the line between matter and energy is a fuzzy one. Energy can be produced by either splitting or combining atomsprocesses known as fission and fusion respectively.

Hydroelectricity Whether falling, flowing, or otherwise moving in tides or under-ocean currents, water can be harnessed to produce electric power.

Meeting the Energy Requirements


Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Oceans cover 70 percent of the Earth, and water is a natural solar energy collector. Ocean thermal energy conversion, aims to exploit this fact and use the temperature differences between surface water heated by the sun and water in the ocean's chilly depths to generate electricity.
Biomass Biomass energy, or biofuel, involves releasing the chemical energy stored in organic matter such as wood, crops, and animal waste. These materials are burned directly to produce heat or refined to create alcoholic fuels like ethanol.
