Honors Tech Report: Future Tech.

PhysOrg.com is a news site about science and technology. To open the search bar, click on the "Search" link at the bottom of the page (it's at the bottom of the first column of links).

This is a great resource no matter what topic you may be focusing on!

Really useful as it shows loads of technologies as well as when we can expect them. Each of the items has a linked source for it, so although the original site my not be citable, you can still get citations from it.

This is a website published by MIT that features a lot of developing technologies. It provides useful results that can be searched from the site.

This article starts by differentiating two processes of regeneration and then goes into the molecular science of regenerative abilities.

The article summarizes what scientists currently know about amphibious regenerative capabilities and directs that knowledge towards making regeneration a possibility for mammals.

This article has an introduction to 3D printing, history of rapid prototyping (3D printing), explanation of 3D printing, the current state of 3D printing, the future of 3D printing, and a Q&A with employees of 3D printing companies.

3D Systems is a company which sells 3D printers and 3D printer materials. This site has links to different 3D printers, ranging from personal to industrial. The site also has different materials that 3D Systems' printers use.

Taken from "Technology Review," this article touches on how 3D printing has effect the toy industry. Very basic article, just shows some of the potentials of 3D printing. Taken from Technology Review: "what's changed since the invention of 3D scanners and stereolithography -- now known by the more inclusive term 3D printing -- is that they now have the ability to directly translate real world objects into miniature versions of themselves."

Taken from Proquest abstract: "The fact is that deploying new technology is only one of the steps needed to soft-land in the future. Smart machines do not automatically catalyze us to smarter lives. Switching on the future entails more effort. For example, what good is going global on the Internet if your real-time allegiances remain nationalistic and ethnocentric? You can gloat over your portable equipment, but if you continue to run in place in unportable lifestyles, marinating for decades in the same apartment, the same city, the same country, the same profession, the same social ties, how portable are you?"
