Technology
Review identifies the developments that will dramatically affect the way we
live and work-and profiles the leading innovators behind them.
TECHNOLOGY REVIEW
February
2003
In
labs around the world, researchers are busy creating technologies that will
change the way we conduct business and live our lives. These are not the latest
crop of gadgets and gizmos: they are completely new technologies that could
soon transform computing, medicine, manufacturing, transportation, and our
energy infrastructure. Nurturing the people and the culture needed to make the
birth of such technological ideas possible is a messy endeavor, as MIT Media
Lab cofounder Nicholas Negroponte explains in Creating a Culture of Ideas . But in this special section, Technology Review's editors have identified 10 emerging technologies that we
predict will have a tremendous influence in the near future. For each, we've
chosen a researcher or research team whose work and vision is driving the
field. The profiles, on the following pages, offer a sneak preview of the
technology world in the years and decades to come.
