Welcome! Future For All is my personal web site about future technology and society.

I hope you enjoy my site and find it interesting.

Is the Large Hadron Collider Safe?

Could experiments at the Large Hadron Collider produce a man-made black hole? Is the LHC a doomsday device?

I Didn't Even Know You Had Kids

Some of the smartest individuals I know, suddenly remember their kids have soccer practice when I mention the latest technological break-through. I asked six of my friends for an honest answer to why they gave me the techno-snub.

Future Technology Predictions

How far will technology advance in 20, 30, even 50 years from now? How will it affect our lives? Here are some scenarios and technologies predicted by science fiction writers, futurists, technology experts and my Uncle Walt.

Approaching the Singularity

Thinking about the Singularity gives me a headache. No doubt a reaction to asking my brain to think of ways of replacing itself. Both intriguing and frightening, my approach to the Singularity is to treat it like a dessert tray, the further it is away, the less I am infatuated by it.

The Singularity

Live Long,
If You Prosper

At an age that lies somewhere between Kid Rock and Mr. Spock, any talk of extending my stay with the living gets the immediate attention of my good ear. While waiting in a crowded clinic for a flu shot, I overheard two people discussing an article one was reading about "living forever". 

Live Longer

Virtual Reality

Virtual worlds are being developed for gaming, education and socialization. Future vacations might be taken by immersing yourself in a virtual paradise.

They're Just Not That Into Us

SETI projects have scanned the sky for over 40 years looking for an intelligent signal. Could our level of intelligence be unique in the universe?

Smart Clothing

Smart Homes

My home is not very smart. It does not know when to start my coffee or how to clean the floor. It has difficulty distinguishing between a roaring grease fire and a steamy shower, which makes it a good thing it can't remember the number to call in an emergency. What can we expect to experience in the smart home of the future?

Smart Home

Ready or not, here it comes. In the next 20 years, nano-technology will touch the life of nearly every person on the planet. The potential benefits are mind boggling and brain enhancing. But like many of the great advancements in earth's history, it is not without risk. Here are some of the risks posed to society by nanotechnology.

Genetic Engineering - Super Spud

More than 50 biotech food products have been found by the FDA to be as safe as conventional foods, including canola oil, corn, potatoes, soybeans, squash and tomatoes.

Labeling the Future

Nanotubes have slipped into my sunscreen with the stealthiness of a cloned kitten. Why are products that use nano or bio technologies not clearly labeled?

Labeling the Future

Wealthy, Healthy and Wise

When they first hit the market, future technologies like memory implants and longevity drugs, may only be affordable to a small percent of the population. What scenarios could lead to human enhancement technologies for all?

Transhumanity

 

Future Cars

Cars of the future will be intelligent, fuel efficient, zero emission vehicles.

Vehicles will communicate with each other, with the road and with traffic signals. Sensors will help you navigate through bad weather and warn you of a possible collision. They will also let you know if you are getting drowsy or straying from your lane.

Regenerative Medicine

Scientific researchers and medical doctors hope to make the legendary concept of regeneration into reality by restoring lost, damaged, or aging cells and tissues in the human body

Regenerative Medicine

Future of Imaging

I wanted to learn a little about the future of microscopes, because if we are going to build intelligent self-replicating nanomachines, I thought it might be a good idea to look in on them from time to time. Microscopy led to medical imaging, where I discovered 3D imaging, displays and printing. Soon I had a whole new section for the site.

NBIC - Merging Technologies

 

NBIC is an acronym for nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology and cognitive science. As these technologies race towards their own future with ever increasing speed, they merge to drive the new products, benefits and dangers predicted by forecasters, futurists and science fiction writers.

I broke these technologies down into a few more categories, and created the icons above to post with articles on this site, to signify which technologies are merging to create a current breakthrough or future scenario.
