Marcus Wolfe Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I'm doing a Tech class ISU, so I decided I would briefly research various candidates for the title of the next "Great Technological Breakthrough". Does anyone feel like suggesting something? (Other than the LHC?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasder Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Well Cold Fusion would be pretty amazing, but I doubt that'll come along soon.Actually that's scientific, but it would solve most of our problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiDelacot Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Wireless computer interface implanted in a person's skull. No power sourse...it would run off the energy the body emits. No monitor since all images would be directly in the brain. Hey, you said "great".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humanbean234 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Current popular rumor suggests that Obama may reverse the bans Bush enacted on Stem Cell research, so we could possibly see some major breakthroughs in the field of medicine within the next four years.

I saw a story on it five years ago and haven't heard zip since... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that's a breakthrough. Much better than my idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Wolfe Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 First of all, I'd like to thank you all for your suggestions. They were good, and helped me a bit in class today. So, I'd like to throw "Quantum Computing" into the mix. Our modern computers run off the binary system, where a bit can be one or zero. In Quantum Computing, a qubit can equal one and zero at the same time. This will allow for crazy processing power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds veeeeeeeeeeeery interresting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
