10 Emerging Technologies for Humanity

Answers are found in many disciplines: psychology, spirituality and religion, health and wellness, and even sociopolitical theory. In this paper, however, I focus on answers that may be provided bytechnology.
My name is Mike Adams, I'm the president & CEO of Arial Software, the executive director of the Consumer Wellness Research Center, and author of several books and audio programs on nutrition, medical ethics and food toxicology. I'm also the primary contributor to a number of websites covering technology and medicine, including TechnologyNews.info, FutureWheels.com, SpamAnatomy.com, and HealthFactor.info.
The ten technologies covered here each hold tremendous promise for uplifting our collective quality of life on planet Earth. Some of these technologies have already begun to appear; others will take years or decades. A few are stalled out for political reasons or because they threaten the profits of today's influential institutions or industries.
Most of these technologies will, at some point, be hotly debated for their social, economic, and political implications. Like nuclear energy, each of these holds both a promise for creative use and, simultaneously, the risk of abuse by those who seek to gain power and control at the expense of fellow human beings.
Taken together, however, these technologies can not only sharply improve the world in which we live, they can alter who we are as human beings, and in this way, they can forever shape and improve our quality of life.
