  Good question, cookem03.
  
  We’ve had the telephone, the tv, the computer etc etc. I think the next big invention will be big. Huuuuuge, in fact.
  
  I think we’ll build a time machine next and I’m not joking either. Scientists are working out ways of traveling back and forward in time using particles and also teleporting things from one plavce to another.
  
  Now that’s pretty cool, isn’t it? 🙂

  Don’t know – that’s the beauty of science. IBM predicted we’d only need 3 computers in the world in 1950 and nobody predicted the world-wide web or the laser or DNA or genome sequencing. I’d hope it’ll be a break through on energy production – ideally fusion – I think that is one of the biggest problems we face – lack of energy/resources coupled with a growing global population

  I think that it won’t be long until we have 3D television screens which we can view without glasses. Won’t that be cool!
