“Business thinkers still pondering what sort of social, economic and cultural shakeups will define 2010 are officially behind. That’s because Fast Company’s own contributor, ultra-wonk and professional futurist Richard Watson just released this Trends & Technology Timeline charting the estimated arrival of global innovation through 2050″ Source>>>>

Rethinking Artificial Intelligence:
Realizing the Ultimate Promises of Computing

Large-scale quantum computers could be able to solve certain problems much faster than any classical computer.

Today’s robots are less intelligent than cockroaches, but advances in quantum computing—transferring information using atoms rather than silicon—could revolutionize the field of AI.

ACCESS 5X5 ANOTHER WONDERFUL WORK OF ZAPPA

Michell Zappa is a London-based technologist and designer originally from Stockholm, who has spent part of his life in São Paulo and Amsterdam. He holds a BA in Social Communication and has worked for advertising agencies and the trend forecasting bureau trendwatching.com.

His true interest lies in thinking about the future of technology and how society adapts to its rapid change. In 2008 he presented a keynote about (then) emerging technologies in São Paulo, and the idea of professionally thinking and writing about emerging technologies and accelerating change stuck with him.

Currently, he is developing and designing a framework for visualizing the future of technology, attempting to demonstrate for different areas of research cluster — and speculating about when said technologies are bound to become mainstream.

The current iteration of the visualization, which can be found here is evidently subjective, but nonetheless attempts to facilitate other researchers to see the connections between seemingly disparate areas of research. Envisioning these correlations is key to predicting potential solutions and imagining where humanity is headed.

He is studying toward becoming a systems-thinker with a distinct outlook on how technology transforms society. He hopes to see this research being applied to human-centered design and strategic development of products, scenarios, and policy.
