  IBM predicts five biggest tech trends: News - Hardware - ZDNet Australia 

  http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/hardware/soa/IBM-predicts-five-biggest-tech-trends/0,130061702,339285955,00.htm

  update IBM has released a series of predictions that they see as the five big new trends in tech for the next five years. These include programmable electricity meters, smart car sensors, smart shopping ... displays, phones as wallets and better nanotechnology techniques. IBM's Glenn Wightwick spoke to ZDnet.com.au about these predictions, saying they arose from IBM's "global technology outlook" -- an exercise to predict future technology trends. IBM spends an estimated US$6.1 billion a year on research and development. Wightwick commented that global technology outlook predictions are used to set future directions for IBM innovation investments. Smart electricity meters IBM's first prediction says that smart electricity meters could be used to better manage power use for consumers and utilities. Such meters could also be used by utilities to get better information about electricity use. Citing a possible consumer application, Wightwick said, "I have motion detectors around the house, and   [More...] [Less...]

What policies are needed to address the main environmental challenges? How can OECD and non-OECD countries best work together to tackle these challenges?  The OECD Environmental Outlook to 2030 provides analyses of economic and environmental trends to 2030, and simulations of policy actions to address the key challenges. Without new policies, we risk irreversibly damaging the environment and the natural resource base needed to support economic growth and well-being. The costs of policy inaction are high.  But the Outlook shows that tackling the key environmental problems we face today -- including climate change, biodiversity loss, water scarcity and the health impacts of pollution -- is both achievable and affordable. It highlights a mix of policies that can address these chall   [More...] [Less...]
