Forecast #1 By the Year 2020 there will be more than 1 billion people age 60 or older. Three quater of them will be in developing countries.
Forecast #2Nanomedicine will emerge by 2025. Nanotechnology based medical therapies will clear clogged arteries and destroy cancer cells before they become tumor.
Forecast #3 Hydrogen is poised to match the effectiveness of fossil fuels in powering cars, planes and ships. The most abundant element in the universe, it emits a virtually harmless water vapor when burned in an engine. Carmakers are commiting billions in hydrogen and fuel cell research over the next decade.
Forecast #4 Mass customization will increasingly be the rule for many comsumer products. Just as Michael Dell revolutionized the microcomputer industry, manufacturers will soon be offering custom-built TVs, bikes, clothes, food and other products created toeach person's specific desired.
Forecast #5 Water shortages will become severe in most major cities in the developing world over the next two decades. By 2040, 3.5 billionpeople will run short on water - almost 10 times as many as in 1995.
Forecast #6 Fuel cells will be in common use by 2009, powering cars, homes and applicances. Fuel cells the size of soda cans will make long-lasting power practical for products ranging from toys to televisions to lawn mowers.
Forecast #7 Fish farming will overtake cattle ranching as a food source by 2010. Aquaculture has been the fastest-growing sector of the world food economy over the past decade, while beef production has stagnated.
Forecast #8 By the year 2020, automated highways will allow people to use their own cars without the trouble of driving them. The "Dualmode" system will take cars swiftly from city to city, then drivers will be able to take their own vehicles to their final destination, or have them automatically parked.
Forecast #9 Schools will solve many behavior problems with better nutrition: One school eliminated fights,expulsions and suicides by offering students a healthy menu and not allowing them to fill up on junk foods.
Forecast #10 New materials for uniforms will give soldiers superhuman capabilities. MIT's new Institute for Nanotechnologies is developing fabrics that could change properties as needed, such as becoming rigid ro serve as a cast if the wearer breaks a leg. Shoes could store energy, allowing soldiers to catapult themselves over 20-foot-high walls.

Em đọc lướt qua cái mục giới thiệu về bản tin này, em quá chóang váng vì thấy thế giới khoa học hiện đại ngày càng tiên tiến. Em hì hụi type lại xong cái bản tóm tắt này thì mắt em cũng mờ, tay em cũng run rồi, làm gì còn lời nào để mà nói lên cảm xúc nữa ạ!
