| Sumario: | Predicting breakthroughs that span the whole spectrum of science and technology is the daunting task of a major forecasting project conducted over the past decade at George Washington University and TechCast LLC. Working online through a sophisticated Web site < http://www.TechCast.org > the project pools the knowledge of 100 high-tech executives, scientists, engineers, academics, consultants, futurists, and other leading experts around the globe. By cycling through this pooling process every few months, the team creates a “learning system” for uncovering the best possible answers to difficult questions. The result is arguably the best forecast data ever assembled, based on trends that outline how the technology revolution is poised to transform life over the coming two to three decades. The writer presents a selection of the findings accumulated on the TechCast project's Web site.
