Mad Scientists Predictions Here!

Last August, the U.S. Army held a three-day conference in Portsmouth, Virginia, to look at new developments in military science and hardware. The confab was called the "2008 Mad Scientist Future Technology Seminar." Really. It was.
"The objective of the seminar was to investigate proliferating technologies with the potential to empower individuals and groups in the next 10-25 years." 

The Mad Scientist group sees more than just a world of danger in the 2030s. "Most likely results include 

• an increased life span, 
• a solution to the energy crisis, 
• ready availability of food and fresh water to all, 
• a global distribution of technology, education, economics, and -- therefore -- wealth. 

This will reduce the tension between the 'haves' and 'have-nots' while the capabilities of robotics and access to virtual reality to both care for and entertain will create the perception of well-being almost universally around the globe. Advancements are limited only by imagination and resources."

Hope some of their predictions are not flying cars...
