24 CommentsI'm afraid nuclear energy will be the answer.
October 25, 2005 1:51 PMOf this issue's five 'hyped' technologies (biometrics, fuel cells, hybrid vehicles, nanotechnology, robotics), I consider the most promising to be fuel cells, which will no doubt replace gasoline and diesel internal combustion engines, by 2050.
October 25, 2005 1:58 PMFor industry and housing I think we can't avoid the nuclear power plant. Ideally - fusion, to avoid the major problem of nuke waist.
For transportation I see the fuel cells, but before they mature enough I am sure we must do something else, like: developing the public transportation (see Europe), bringing small shopping centers closer to home (within walking and biking distance), build more self contained high-rise buildings instead of spreading homes over the farmland, use of alternative fuels...
In my opinion, of the five 'hyped' technologies, I was immediately drawn to "Beyond Oil", and my first choice is hydrogen for internal combustion engines and beyond.
October 25, 2005 2:30 PMI sincerely believe that the hybrid vehicles will grow constantly from now on and are destined to supply the general automotive market with a big, big success.
October 25, 2005 3:10 PMI believe nano-technology will be the most promising. Making components smaller and lighter will have applications in all facets of every persons life on a daily basis. Medical, automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics will all benefit from the nano-tech explosion.
October 25, 2005 3:39 PMI think that the farther away from oil and gas we get, the better Americans will be - And i think we all know we do not need to pump dead animals and plants out of the ground to live. A lot better life without these two because 80% of the sickness would go away!
Leads to Hybred cars first leading to total elect - wind electric - hydro - coal - none radiation atomic - fusion - byo - ecetra we could take these items x3 and still have more to go.
The people need to wake up and take back America and not the the Federal Reserve Bank and the Goverment Run our life - It is our job to run them - try to get an audit by any of the goverments from the local to the Wihte House - Thanks George Dibble
PS- it does not take 50 yrs to do this. We already know what to do. We need to boycott or whatever it takes to not to use oil or gas. We know all we need on hydrogen electric, that is fact.
October 25, 2005 4:09 PMI think I saw a 1927 Popular Science cover story about the revolutionary fuel cell car.
It took this long to get Detroit to acknowledge
that a hybrid "might work"! Does anyone have a prediction about an all electric? Seventy percent of our auto trips are 1.7 miles of less.
Amazing! A simple question and half of the people didn't answer it!? The question is:
Of this issue's five 'hyped' technologies (biometrics, fuel cells, hybrid vehicles, nanotechnology, robotics), which do you consider the most promising?
The answer can only be two words maximum, and then maybe more verbage on your thoughts to why. Geez
Hybrid vehicles are the most promising, because it uses a fuel we actually HAVE!
October 25, 2005 6:04 PMBiometrics has to be the future. Fraud reduction has to be huge at all levels. Identification of high risk people in business is a giant market. There are many uses of biometrics that have not been mentioned. It's just a matter of time until we start to see many more uses in systems that make them practical at the individual level.
October 25, 2005 7:05 PMNano-technology is the watershed of the 21 Century.
October 25, 2005 11:04 PMFuel cells are the future of all technology, because without reliable energy sources none of the others will have a future.
