        10 Emerging Technologies 2011

Today's site, from the MIT Technology Review journal, offers their annual
assessment of nascent technologies of potential significance. Gentle 
Subscribers,
who enjoy a look at the possibilities of technical breakthroughs, will discover
some promising developments which may improve the quality of modern life.

"Every year, Technology Review ... chooses 10 emerging technologies that we 
think
will have the greatest impact. The ultimate criterion is straightforward: is the
technology likely to change the world? ... all 10 promise to make our lives
better." - from the website

Beginning with a video introduction from the special products editor, the
presentation flags 10 remarkable advances which may herald singular progress in 
a
variety of fields. From the promise of a crash proof operating system kernel to
improvements in battery technology which may make electric cars a practical
alternative, the journal offers details on each of the projects that made the 
list.
Other noteworthy developments include new processes in DNA analysis which may
result in more effective health care treatments, while cloud computing may 
receive
a boost from new encryption methodology
