Anticipated Technology Innovation in the next 25 years

This is an interesting one for possible future course development!

In an interesting "futurology" experiment, Social Technology's Technology Foresight program convened a "group of experts in technology, innovation, and business strategy from the Association of Professional Futurists, Tekes, Duke University, Hasbro, Worldwatch, General Motors, Shell, Johnson Controls, and Oxford University, among others." What emerged was a list of top 12 areas for technology innovation between now and 2025.

To put this in context, would you have foreseen what you do now with technology 25 years ago?? Mobile Phones and iPods? You'd have expected Windows to be a bit more advanced though, that's for sure.

See Change Waves.

Couldn't resist the Microsoft jibe... so obvious.

I'm impartial when it comes to technology. It's well known.
