Welcome!
Future For All is my personal web site about future
technology and society.
I hope you enjoy my site and find it
interesting.
Virtual Reality
The virtual universe is expanding. Virtual
worlds are being developed for gaming, education and
socialization. Future vacations might be taken by
immersing yourself in a virtual paradise.

Brain Machine Interface
Brain machine interfaces (BMIs) are currently assisting
paralyzed patients communicate, control
robotic arms, computers and other devices. In the
future, BMIs could provide a path to brain
enhancement.

A
Clone Again, Unnaturally
Cloning scares me. Then again, so do spiders. What I
found after
my brief research for this article, is that there are
different types of cloning. And just like spiders,
some types of cloning I should be wary of, but many
may be considered beneficial.

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.

The Singularity
Like the singularity at the center of
a black hole, our model of the world breaks down
when it contains entities smarter than human.

Live Long,
If You Prosper
At an age that lies
somewhere between Kid Rock and Mr. Spock, any talk of

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. The only interaction I have with the house is when
I must dance the Macarena with the motion detector to
get my outside lights to come on. What can we
expect to experience in the smart home of the future?

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
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.
