• Building Sky Scrappers or Vertical Tunnel Habitats?

    Rating: 

    If global warming truly becomes a problem then human populations may be forced to build underground where it is safe. This would also protect us from solar flares and solar radiation. Building vertical Tunnel habitats straight down instead skyscrapers makes a lot of sense.Read more…
  • Fast Hole Drilling for High Rises which Go Straight Down

    Rating: 

    In the future the human species may have to build our city's underground where they can be safe from the weather, global warming or a loss of atmosphere, which allows more space and solar radiation. We know that the cycles of ice ages and solar cycles to severely impact our planet over the period of millions of years.Maybe not in our lifetimes, but definitely sometime in the future mankind may need to live underground for a millennium or more.Read more…
  • Large Scale Vertical Laser Mining

    Rating: 

    If our mining industries are to survive into the future we need to be able to extract more material in a shorter time without causing harm to the environment. I believe we should look into vertical mining technologies and when we find coal, iron ore or any other material that we need for industry that we should dig straight down.I propose using vertical laser molecular Mining technologies to do this.Read more…
  • Laser Digger to Build Underground Lunar Colonies

    Rating: 

    When we build a lunar colonies on the moon we are going to need to build them underground to protect those in the colony and our astronauts from solar and space radiation. Unfortunately it is rather hard to dig and that requires some pretty robust equipment. And we know it costs a lot of money to deliver heavy-duty equipment to the moon because it of its weight.Read more…
  • The New World and Future is Ours if we Dare!

    Rating: 

    There is another world besides ours, another realm we will soon discover and the future is ours if we dare to take it. If we will take it and seize the day or we can sit idle, while opportunity evades us and we continue on the path of our self-defeating ways repeating our history as mankind seems to be doomed to do. You see the truth is that; The New World and Future is Ours if we Dare!Read more…
  • Space Race or Forward Progression for the Human Race

    Rating: 

    The Space Race is on as many countries are now using known human technologies in order to reach space. These countries are using the race space as a sense of National Pride and using it to propel their nations forward using the internal PR and it also helps them stake claim to being a more advanced civilization to the rest of the world as well. This allows them to join the first world nations and be taken seriously as a high-tech society.Read more…
  • Talking Robotic Androids are Hear!

    The future is coming forth much faster than expected with artificial intelligent robotic androids. In Japan they are giving American research and development companies, universities and institutes a run for their money. How much further have the Japanese come?Read more…
  • Why Build Better Distribution Channels Now: Transporter Rooms and Beaming Technologies Soon

    Rating: 

    Should we spend billions and billions of dollars upgrading the current distribution systems in order to handle the increased capacity, which will be needed? The current distribution models are old and archaic. The railroad is ancient and our roads and highways do not make a lot of sense, there are better ways to move stuff that would be more efficient too.Read more…
  • Should We Wait Until Everything Is Right to Launch into the Future?

    Rating: 

    In the future many futurists like myself believe that Ray Kurzweil’s theory of the coming Paradigm Shift is indeed inevitable and this will include a hyper advancement of the human race. Things such as life extension, which would allow humans to press on and fix the things which plague mankind without allowing our offspring to fail miserably and be doomed because they forgot our history.Other technologies such as nano-materials will allow better efficiencies and toughness in structures, equipment, buildings, transportation and just about anything you can think of.Read more…
  • Real Time Distribution Models of the Future?

    Rating: 

    In the future real time distribution models may not need actual shipping containers, trains, trucks, planes, etc to ship with. In fact the distribution may seem a bit like Star Trek Transporter Rooms. How so you ask?Read more…
  • Flying Cars – Where Are They?

    Rating: 

    For over half a century, the vision of flying cars has captured the science fiction imagination in books, movies, and commercials. At face value, the idea of a car lifting off the ground and soaring through the air is a wonderful dream, but there are more than a few caveats to making them a widely distributed reality. As people sit in traffic jams across the country, more than a few people have wished they could simply rise up off the ground and zoom past the tangled ground based transportation system.Read more…
  • Global Warming and Parched Earth Virtual Reality Strategies

    Rating: 

    The global warming alarmists have warned us of the future parched earth and a barren planet void all of plant life and they have told us about millions or even billions of people dying from lack of water or food. They describe things like the barren planet of Mars and a surface that cannot support life. If this happens that human beings will have to live underground and use underground water supplies and be careful with their resources.Read more…
  • Sphere Life Virtual Reality Considerations for Space Colonies

    Rating: 

    In the future there will be humans living on the surface of Mars in space colonies and because the Martian surface is so hostile and is void of oxygen most likely the humans will either live in underground communities or partial aboveground space colony habitats. Some of these people may never come back to Earth during their lifetime. It is for that reason that perhaps we should consider setting up virtual reality simulators so they do not get too homesick.Read more…
  • Teaching Humans to Think Does Not Mean Indoctrination in How to Think

    Rating: 

    Do you find it quite interesting that when you join different groups or industry associations that they often offer seminars teaching you how to do things better and how to think in such a way to provide yourself with a greater chance of accomplishing your objectives or goals in that endeavor? Personally, if you are teaching people to think and then you tell them exactly how to think then you are really indoctrinating them into your way of thinking. Of course they think they are thinking but they aren't, not really.Read more…
  • The Future Over-regulation of Nano-Tech; Fearing What You Cannot See?

    Rating: 

    There are many environmental type groups and OSHA watchdog groups calling for the complete banning of Nano Technologies and yet these new technologies could change everything and completely revolutionize nearly every industry. Even the FDA is being attacked for being slow to develop rules and regulations concerning NanoTech.The EPA is concerned and already has several committees on the subject to protect water supplies, the air we breath and make sure nothing escapes from the manufacturing process or laboratories.Read more…
  • Human Sanity in Long Term Space Flight and Virtual Reality Strategies

    Rating: 

    In the future there is no doubt that humans will travel outside of our solar system and visit a new worlds and discover interesting things. In doing this they will most likely be in an artificial environment or spaceship. Unfortunately this might cause psychological issues and whereas some people might be able to handle it by watching movies, reading and studying all the information inside the computer's data banks; for others it could be a literal living hell.Read more…
  • Road Crew Strategies for Image Capturing for VR Simulators Considered!

    Rating: 

    For fast-moving companies that are involved in the virtual reality simulator industry sub-sector it will be necessary to collect images in real life as fast as possible and then digitize those images or videos into workable pieces that can be used for computer games, video games or virtual reality simulators. One of the strategies that is recommended is to have a road crew in a high-tech motor home that also has a number of cameras on the front of the vehicle. These cameras will be located in various parts of the vehicle to be used in the virtual reality simulator.Read more…
  • What City Design Will Future Space Colonies Have?

    Rating: 

    Have you ever consider what kind of city design a future space colonies will have? If we are going to put tens of thousands of people all living in a space colony on Mars then obviously the city will have to be designed in a much different way than the surface cities are designed for human civilizations on earth.It makes sense that future space colonies will have much of the colony built underground instead of on the surface.Read more…
  • Human Longevity May Yield Great Results to the Forward Progression of Mankind

    Rating: 

    It has often been said by Futurists that soon everyone will live over 100 years old. This means that humans will be able to do more things and have longer careers. Consider if you will if Einstein had more time here on earth he might have come up with more discoveries.Read more…

  • Bind Your Own Customized Yearbooks - By: Jeff McRitchie
    For small and medium sized schools, creating a high quality customized yearbook can often be cost prohibitive. The large companies that specialize in creating yearbooks for schools are not set up to handle small runs of just a few hundred yearbooks. As a result, smaller schools either have to pay a huge premium for their yearbooks or do without. However, there is now a new option for creating yearbooks that is far more reasonable for small and medium sized high schools.

  • Delays in Innovation Initiatives Considered - By: Lance Winslow
    Many times we hear of great new initiatives being sponsored and feel we are rounding a corner and looking towards a bright new future, yet eventually we see that things are not moving and we feel it is only hype and get frustrated. Sometimes delays in innovation are caused in the marketplace by competitive and political barriers.Often, there is a reason for this and that is because some innovation is so disruptive that it can cause instant chaos in a given industry or get in the way that things are currently done.
