Important technological developments of the next 15 years
(Extracted from http://wiki.mindcloud.org/wiki/Important_technological_developments_of_the_next_15_years ;-D)
The following is an evolving list of various technology that I think is likely to shape world affairs in the next decade or so. At some point I'll start adding various links, restructuring the list, and actually justifying the items within. Feel free to contribute to this process in whatever way (even if it is to debunk my claims) Tristan Miller
