Not as something you flip out of your pocket. Your entire world  will become interactive. The way you see and what you see with will merely be  the conduit for what is actually going on.<\/p>\n<p>Your display might be glasses, or a  contact lens. Bionic eyes might be better than having real ones. Either way  everything you come in contact with will have embedded microchips and wireless  communication built in.<\/p>\n<p>It will allow for a completely  augmented reality (AR). The information of the world will be available to you  everywhere you look and think. Computing power will be embedded in your biology  to enable you to fully interact with your physical world and your digital world  through your 5 senses, and a 6th, your mind.<\/p>\n<p>At first you may think that sounds a  bit creepy. But think of the applications&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>You will simply need to think about a  question you want an answer to, to find the information.<\/p>\n<p>People with a disability could use  this <strong>technology <\/strong>to control bionics and robotic aides. The world of AR will  slowly and comfortably <em>enhance<\/em> your  world and provide you with a seamless interaction between physical and digital  worlds. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\" type=\"1\">\n<li><strong>Safe and       Waste-Free Nuclear Power?<\/strong>\n<p>Nuclear Fission is the process by which the power is made in nuclear  power plants today.<\/p>\n<p>But the future of power lies in <em>Thermonuclear<\/em> <em>Fusion.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The detailed physics of how it all works is far too complicated to  explain briefly. But the key things you need to know are it&#8217;s safer than  Nuclear Fission, as it doesn&#8217;t produce radioactive waste.<\/p>\n<p>This means in the event of an accident there wouldn&#8217;t be a repeat  of Chernobyl or Fukushima.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, but thermonuclear fusion can generate about four  times as much energy as current fission. Advances in the science mean that it  could be the best source of energy the world has within the next 10 years. <\/p>\n<p>Right now in southern France the International Thermonuclear  Experimental Reactor (ITER) in being constructed. This has the potential to be  the first Fusion reactor to break the plasma energy breakeven point, and  produce more energy output than energy input.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\" type=\"1\">\n<li><strong>Liver       Failure?

But none are as potentially <strong>revolutionary<\/strong> as the benefit stem cells  can provide us.<\/p>\n<p>Poised to revolutionise the way the  world practices medicine, Stem Cells have the ability to find their way to  broken parts of the body &#8211; a bone, the liver, the heart &#8211; and to repair an  otherwise unrepairable organ.<\/p>\n<p>It means living longer, staying  healthier, and perhaps evading death.<\/p>\n<p>The current work on stem cells  revolves around the potential for growing of fully functional human organs. It  could be a future where as you age and parts of you wear away, you can simply  replace them. The most important mechanic you might have will be the one that  gives your body new parts&#8230;not your automated car.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\" type=\"1\">\n<li><strong>Safer Roads       Without Passing a Driving Test<\/strong>\n<p>Ever considered how misleading the  word Automobile is? It obviously refers to a car, but I can tell you one thing,  there&#8217;s nothing auto about it&#8230;yet.<\/p>\n<p>You may as well stop using the term  car now. In fact if you have young children, put away all the story books about  people driving cars. When your newborn is of &#8216;driving&#8217; age, he\/she will ask you  this simple question. &#8216;Why did you ever drive cars in the olden days? That&#8217;s  soooo 2013.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Cars themselves are the pinnacle of  safety and technology, but last year in Australia 1,309 people died from road  accidents. The road toll creeps down every year. But soon there could be a  dramatic shift towards a zero fatality year.<\/p>\n<p>And it will be because of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moneymorning.com.au\/20130528\/why-2013-might-be-the-last-year-you-drive-a-car.html\" title=\"Why 2013 Might Be the Last Year You Drive a Car\">a fully  automated car<\/a>. Jump in, input destination, and let the car take you there. This technology is already available, but laws and regulations are holding it back.  If we take human error out of the equation, traffic flows better, cars travel  at safer speeds, and getting everyone where they want to be more efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a future world not of flying  cars.
