IBM's Next Five in Five |
|
| (Nanowerk News) IBM's " Next Five in Five" list is a view on five innovations that will change how people around the world work, play and live over the next five years. Here are IBM's predictions: | |
| 1) We will be able to access healthcare remotely, from just about anywhere in the world | |
| 2) Real-time speech translation—once a vision only in science fiction—will become the norm | |
| 3) There will be a 3-D Internet | |
| 4) Technologies the size of a few atoms will address areas of environmental importance | |
| 5) Our mobile phones will start to read our minds | |
| These five innovations were selected based on projects in our Research labs, research conducted by our business think-tank, and ideas pooled from more than 150,000 people from 104 countries who took part in an online brainstorming session called “IBM InnovationJam.” | |
| Item 4 deals with carbon nanoptubes used for water desalination and nanostructure fabrication used in making better solar cells. | |
