IBM's 5 in 5

IBM has a list it calls the Next 5 in 5.  This is a list coming out of IBM research that provides a list of five innovations that are going to change the way we live in the next five years.  The next 5 in 5 according to IBM are

1. We will be able to access healthcare remotely, from just about anywhere in the world
2. Real-time speech translation—once a vision only in science fiction—will become the norm
3. There will be a 3-D Internet
4. Technologies the size of a few atoms will address areas of environmental importance
5. Our mobile phones will start to read our minds

For more information, access the IBM 5 in 5 website where you can read up on each of the five and download a PDF.

Very interesting! Not sure if I am ready for my cell phone to know what I am thinking. But, the technologies to address environmental issues will be great.
