Futurists:

I am currently working on a project that requires a view into what
technologies we can expect to have an affect on our lives in the next
5-10 years.  Things such as neural networks, artificial intelligence,
nanotechnology, etc. are things I am considering.

Obviously, I can't think of all of them so I am asking you for your
input.  What technologies do you think are important for next decade or
so?  When do you expect them to become a reality?  Who is currently
working on such activities?

Please feel free to share any ideas that you might have or give me
pointers in the direction of those that might know more.  I thank you in
advance for your input.  You can reach me at mike.dreisch@intercai.nl

Mike
