Most Important Inventions of Next 10 Yrs
Business Week by Damian Joseph Innovation from Recession - Things are looking pretty bleak right now. But, the saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention. So BusinessWeek asked several futurists, including Futurist.com's Glen Hiemstra, consultant David Zach, and author Howard Rheingold, to describe what they'd like to see arise from the current downturn. Notably, our experts didn't think of innovation merely in terms of products or services. These ideas will change the way humans interact with the earth—and with each other. 1 Ocean-Driven Hydropower - Till now, hydropower has mostly been generated at dams. Now, turbines around the world are being designed to…

Graphite as a Storage Medium a Step Closer
Science Daily September 13, 2009 Advances by the Rice University lab of James Tour have brought graphite’s potential as a mass data storage medium a step closer to reality and created the potential for reprogrammable gate arrays that could bring about a revolution in integrated circuit logic design. In a paper published in the online journal ACS Nano, Tour and postdoctoral associate Alexander Sinitskii show how they've used industry-standard lithographic techniques to deposit 10-nanometer stripes of amorphous graphite, the carbon-based, semiconducting material commonly found in pencils, onto silicon. This facilitates the creation of potentially very dense, very stable nonvolatile memory for all kinds of digital… Click Here To Read The Full Article

Ditching Binary Makes Powerful Computers
New Scientist by Paul Marks August 2009 Memo to the developers of superfast quantum computers: give up on the familiar 1s-and-0s binary system used in conventional computers. By switching to a novel five-state system, you will find it easier to build the staggeringly powerful machines. So claim Matthew Neeley and colleagues at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). So far, the development of quantum computers has followed the traditional binary computing model. This encodes all information using components that can be in two states, either 1 or 0. But other possibilities exist, Neeley explains. "We could use a 'trinary' system with three digits… Click Here To Read The Full Article

HP Prints Flexible Screens Like Newsprint
Discover Magazine by Stephen Cass May 13, 2009 A flexible computer screen—one that you can roll up and stick in your pocket—is coming closer to reality. For those of us old enough to remember the original Knight Rider, using a computer once meant sitting in front of a specialized particle accelerator. This bulky device smashed electrons into a phosphorescent screen that displayed your text in exciting white-on-black, green-on-black, or the supersnazzy yellow-on-black. Since then, flat-panel technology has revolutionized desktop and laptop screens (and TV, of course). But these can be expensive, and they are awkward to carry around.

The Enduring Mystery of Saturn's Rings
Space.com by Jeremy Hsu August 24 2009 Saturn's rings have fascinated scientists ever since Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei first spotted them through one of his telescopes in the 17th century. But just how the icy rings came into being remains a mystery that has only deepened with each new scientific finding. Astronomers now know that the planet hosts multiple rings that consist of roughly 35 trillion-trillion tons of ice, dust and rock. The Cassini spacecraft and its Voyager predecessors have also spotted changing ring patterns, partially formed ring arcs and even a moon spewing out icy particles to form a new ring. All of this suggests that… Click Here To Read The Full Article

Space Junk Problem Visualized
Space.com September 12 2009 It's not as bad as it looks, NASA says. New images depict man-made objects bigger than 4 inches (10 cm) orbiting Earth, and there are a bunch of them -- some 19,000 by the latest count. NASA released the illustrated representations of space junk today based on the latest data and analysis from the U.S. Space Surveillance Network and the space agency's Orbital Debris Program Office. As with previous depictions, it looks like a mess. But in a statement, NASA said the situation is not as dire as it may appear, even though each year brings more flotsam into the…

Dwindling Resources Drive Exploration
By Marsha Freeman April 10 2009 Space exploration has created whole new fields of science, and revolutionized our understanding of the Solar System and the universe. But before the Space Age had even begun, German-born space visionary Krafft Ehricke had given us the "real reasons" for exploring space. He wrote in 1957: "The idea of traveling to other celestial bodies reflects to the highest degree the independence and agility of the human mind. It lends ultimate dignity to man's technical and scientific endeavors. Above all, it touches on the philosophy of his very existence." This quote from Krafft Ehricke appears in the foreword to his biography… Click Here To Read The Full Article

Mars: Make It a One-Way Trip
Scientific American by Philip Yam Sept 2, 2009 Landing humans on Mars is a completely achievable feat with current technology—if you are okay with the idea of a one-way ticket, points out physicist and Scientific American columnist Lawrence Krauss in an op-ed in yesterday's New York Times. The problem today isn't the launch capabilities or the guidance systems or the navigation. It is the energetic particles from the sun, which can rip apart DNA. Space travelers returning home from a Mars mission would soon die from this radiation poisoning, if they managed to survive the experience at all. A protective shield would simply be too massive to…

Another League Under the Sea
Popular Science by Abe Streep 08.05.2009 Armed with better batteries and stronger materials, new submersibles aim to go deeper than ever before and open up the whole of the unexplored ocean to human eyes. By liberal estimates, we’ve explored about 5 percent of the seas, and nearly all of that in the first 1,000 feet. That’s the familiar blue part, penetrated by sunlight, home to the colorful reefs and just about every fish you’ve ever seen. Beyond that is the deep—a pitch-black region that stretches down to roughly 35,800 feet, the bottom of the Marianas Trench. Nearly all the major oceanographic finds made in that…

String Theory: A Beginner's Guide
New Scientist by Michael Marshall April 15 2009 For similar stories, visit the Cosmology and Quantum World Topic Guides. String theory is one of the most famous ideas in modern physics, but it is also one of the most confusing. At its heart is the idea that the fundamental particles we observe are not point-like dots, but rather tiny strings that are so small that our best instruments cannot tell that they are not points. It also predicts that there are extra dimensions to space beyond the obvious length, breadth and depth, but we do not experience them because they are bunched up in tiny spaces. While these notions are deeply strange, the key issue for string theorists has… Click Here To Read The Full Article

13 Things That Do Not Make Sense
New Scientist by Michael Brooks March 19 2005 1 The placebo effect - Don't try this at home. Several times a day, for several days, you induce pain in someone. You control the pain with morphine until the final day of the experiment, when you replace the morphine with saline solution. Guess what? The saline takes the pain away. This is the placebo effect: somehow, sometimes, a whole lot of nothing can be very powerful. Except it's not quite nothing. When Fabrizio Benedetti of the University of Turin in Italy carried out the above experiment, he added a final twist by adding naloxone, a drug that blocks the… Click Here To Read The Full Article

Making Computers a Partner, Not a Product
ZDNET by Chris Jablonski August 20th, 2009 Researchers at Oregon State University are hoping to improve artificial intelligence with a project the uses “rich interaction” to teach machines when they make mistakes. Their work would allow for ordinary users who spot a computer’s errors to be able to step in and explain directly to the machine the logic it should be using. The scientists claim that the project is based on an idea that is one of the latest advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence– A computer that not only learns from its own experiences, but also listens to the user, tries to combine what it…

When Will Computers Be Smarter Than Us?
Forbes by Nick Bostrom 06.22.09 Superintelligence is on its way. Intelligence is a big deal. Humanity owes its dominant position on Earth not to any special strength of our muscles, nor any unusual sharpness of our teeth, but to the unique ingenuity of our brains. It is our brains that are responsible for the complex social organization and the accumulation of technical, economic and scientific advances that, for better and worse, undergird modern civilization. All our technological inventions, philosophical ideas and scientific theories have gone through the birth canal of the human intellect. Arguably, human brain power is the chief limiting factor in the development…

Facebook To Nonprofits: More Pages...
Wall Street Journal by Andrew LaVallee August 28 2009 Nonprofit organizations seeking to harness Facebook can get the most bang for their buck by using fan pages in addition to groups, streamlining their app usage and livening things up, one of its marketing execs said Friday. Pages operate like profiles for organizations or businesses, can only be created by official representatives and can add applications, while groups are unofficial and can be created by any user. Relying on groups, which have been available longer, is one of the biggest mistakes nonprofits make, said Randi Zuckerberg, who works on marketing and nonprofit initiatives and is co-founder Mark Zuckerberg’s sister…

The Purposeful Techie: Nonprofit IT
On Philanthropy by Mark Shaw Thursday July 31, 2008 The nonprofit 'accidental techie' phenomenon is not a new idea. Everyone has one in their- office the staff member who happens to know how to un-jam the printer becomes the go-to person for all manners of organizational and individual technology troubleshooting and repairs. Before he or she realizes what has happened, they have become the office technology guru. In challenging economic times, many nonprofits’ reliance on the internal, ‘accidental’ techie will remain a necessary strategy. As such, it may be time for the nonprofit community to turn the ‘accidental techie’ concept on its ear, and take renewed control of this… Click Here To Read The Full Article

Sustainability Finds Its Sweet Spot
On Philanthropy by Elisabeth Anderson April 9, 2008 Andy Savitz has found his sweet spot and he wants you to find yours, too. As the noted Triple Bottom Line author, “recovering lawyer,” and conference comedian presented to a standing room only crowd at the recent CRO Spring Conference in New York City, he had a lot riding on one thing: a Venn Diagram. In one circle, business interests; in the other, societal interests. Where they conjoin? The sustainability sweet spot. It was, as Mr. Savitz recalled his wife’s telling, “the beginning and the end of his contribution to the field.” With all due respect to Mrs. Savitz, this… Click Here To Read The Full Article

Transitioning from Dot Com to Dot Org
On Philanthropy by Molly Brennan October 15, 2008 An increasing awareness of the need for business-world skills coupled with a looming leadership deficit has caused many non-profit executives to look to the for-profit world for talent. But transitioning from one sector to the other can be challenging for new hires, management, and co-workers alike. Looking for Talent - According to some estimates, by 2016, as many as 640,000 new senior managers will be needed in the non-profit sector -- the equivalent of 2.4 times the number currently employed. This dearth of leadership is due in part to the departure of retiring baby boomers, but also to the significant… Click Here To Read The Full Article

GenX -vs- GenY: Are the Naysayers Right?
ZD Net by Dennis Howlett September 14th, 2009 It seems that analyst firm Forrester has woken up to the fact that Gen Y are not the big movers and shakers that we’ve been told the last couple of years. According to Read Write Web Enterprise: A favorite argument among those who talk about the gap between Boomers, Gen X, and Gen Y is that the youngest demographic is more adept with technology. According to the [Forrester] survey results, that’s just not true. Gen X employees contribute to discussion forums and social networks just as much as their Gen Y counterparts. The use of blogs and wikis was either… Click Here To Read The Full Article

In the chart below, the largest segment (ITA) is ad-supported, the second largest (ISV) is Freemium.

The Future of News in 4 Dimensions
Nieman Journalism Lab by C.W. Anderson Sept 8 2009 The future of news in 4 dimensions: How real news orgs fit in the model. In my last post, I spent a lot of time laying out a fairly abstract framework for how we can think intelligently about future kinds of news organizations. I argued they could be usefully evaluated and charted on four factors: the type of work they do, how institutionalized they are, how many resources they have, and how open they are to outsiders. But the value of any model lies not in its elegance, but in the degree to which it can help us think about…

Future of Branding in a Connected World
Media Futurist September 10, 2009 I contributed to a fun event at the Host Gallery in London tonight, organized by Canvas8 (where I am involved as one of the adjunct thought-leaders): "Twitter, Facebook, Spotify, Tripadvisor, Augmented Reality, Smartphone Apps, YouTube – the range of technology choices for brands wishing to engage with consumers is huge. For many these are uncharted waters, and these technologies can raise more questions than they answer. This time the theme of ‘The Changing Face of Media’ is emerging technology. Based on the speakers’ experiences it asks the question: how can brands best use technology and not be used by it...

Microbes Clean Oil & Radioactive Wastes
Scientific American By David Biello Sep 7, 2009 There appears to be literally nothing microbes cannot do. From the invention of photosynthesis to lifecycles that require no sunlight—even surviving extreme radiation—the most extreme microbes thrive almost everywhere scientists look. And now microbiologists have added two more energy-related tricks to the microbial arsenal. At the European Society for General Microbiology meeting this week, Richard Johnson and his fellow scientists from the University of Essex will present research showing that a mixed ecosystem of particular bacteria can survive—and clean up—one of the most lethal man-made environments: the residue from extracting petroleum from oil sands… Click Here To Read The Full Article

Eight Solutions For a Hungry World
Popular Science by Hilary Rosner 08.07.2009 The Future of Farming: Eight Solutions For a Hungry World The challenge of growing twice as much food by 2050 to feed nine billion people—with less and less land—is everyone’s problem. But scientists are hard at work fomenting a second green revolution. Today’s crops crisscross the globe: Mexico’s tomatoes end up on your plate, our wheat heads to Africa.

Autodesk To Change Green Building
Earth2Tech by Justin Moresco August 28th 2009 When software is designed well, it can radically improve the way an industry works. That’s the vision behind ongoing efforts at Autodesk to upgrade its building performance modeling software — to make energy retrofits of buildings cheaper and easier. The San Rafael, Calif.-based firm believes the improvements it’s making to its suite of construction industry software will compress the time it takes to do detailed sustainability analysis (energy, water, emissions) from weeks to days and as a result, make such analysis cheap enough to be accessible to a majority of the building market. More than 100 million buildings in the U.S... Click Here To Read The Full Article

BMW Vision EfficientDynamics
Dexigner by Levent OZLER August 29 2009 BMW sees technical innovations reducing both emissions and fuel consumption as an elementary part of the brand's product strategy, just like vehicle concepts enhancing the Sheer Driving Pleasure so typical of BMW as a lasting, sustained experience.

10 Ideas for 21st Century Teaching
Tech Learning by Lisa Nielsen I’m often asked for advice on how to get started with using 21st century tools to enhance teaching and learning. The mistake some people make is believing educators instantly need to become producers of websites, blogs, wikis, podcasts, social networks etc. Most educators need to become comfortable and familiar as participants in these environments before they can feel successful as creators in these areas.

Truths about Creativity
Yanko Design By Brian Ling 09.11.09 I have been thinking about the relationship between creativity vs. design vs. where it comes from. I have also thought and wondered why some people, not just designers, are more creative than others? Here are some thoughts on creativity that may help you understand what it is and how to get it going for you. 1) Creativity does not exist in a vacuum. The thing about creativity is that it cannot exist without a baseline, starting point, trigger or input. In other words you will not be able to come up with a design or a design solution if you…

How To Communicate With Developers
Smashing Magazine By Ryan Scherf, August 14th, 2009 If you have ever worked with a developer or a development team, this article will probably strike close to home. As designers, we work with dozens of developers across the globe each year. Some of us are fortunate enough to find a gem; a developer that just gets it. A developer that you feel is on your same wavelength in terms of what needs to be accomplished with the user interface, and what it needs to happen. Most often, however, we find developers that we generally don’t see eye to eye with. This is not meant as a slam on…

Breaking Down Building Energy Use
Jetson Green by Preston Koerner August 25, 2009 We've all heard the numbers before, but here's a nice little chart with a helpful breakdown of information. Buildings account for roughly 40% of all U.S. energy use. Or stated with more particularity, residential buildings account for 22% of all U.S. energy use and commercial buildings account for 18% of all U.S. energy use. When you parse the numbers out, here's where that energy is used: Residential Energy Use: 1% - Computers 5% - Cooking 5% - Wet clean 7% - Electronics 8% - Refrigeration 11% - Lights 12% - Cooling 12% - Water heat...

Building an Interstate Highway for Energy
Discover Magazine Written by Peter Fairley June 10, 2009 Tomorrow’s smart grid will keep the lights on and factories humming with clean (but fickle) renewable energy. President Obama plans to spend billions building it. General Electric is already running slick ads touting the technology behind it. And Greenpeace declares that it is a great idea. But what exactly is a “smart grid”?
