Like to drive? Enjoy it while it lasts. This site is useful because it shows a very recent study on the future of a car controlled completely by a computer. This site is reliable because it is on a news website and Fox is usually pretty reliable.

"So, what does the future hold?" This site is useful because it describes how the internet, super computers, and data storage devices will be. This site is reliable because it has very detailed and factual information and it has many charts and graphs proving its legitimacy. 

"In the future rush to get to work, the day's tasks will be checked using a personal robotic butler, the misplaced car keys will be located by entering the word "keys" into a cellphone and getting a call back saying "bedroom." I find this site useful because it gives another insight on what future computers will be like. It gives great examples of what the technology will be like. For example; our phone will be able to command the dishwasher and the laundry machine while we do other activities. This site is reliable because the concept of this site correlates with many other sources about the future of the computer.

"Google Glass is a wearable computer with an optical head-mounted display (OHMD) that is being developed by Google in the Project Glass research and development project,[8] with a mission of producing a mass-market ubiquitous computer.[1] Google Glass displays information in a smartphone-like hands-free format,[9] that can communicate with the Internet via natural language voice commands.[10][11]"

The history of AI as written by Think Quest

"Evidence of Artificial Intelligence folklore can be traced back to ancient Egypt, but with the development of the electronic computer in 1941, the technology finally became available to create machine intelligence. "

"To call the evolution of the computermeteoric seems like an understatement. Consider Moore's Law, an observation that Gordon Moore made back in 1965. He noticed that the number of transistors engineers could cram onto a silicon chip doubled every year or so. That manic pace slowed over the years to a slightly more modest 24-month cycle."

"Michio Kaku on Artificial Intelligence" This site is reliable because it is and interview with Michio Kaku. This site is very useful because it states some of Michio's ideas about AI and Computers of the future.

Alan Turing drew much between 1928 and 1933 from the work of the mathematical physicist and populariser A. S. Eddington, from J. von Neumann's account of the foundations of quantum mechanics, and then from Bertrand Russell's mathematical logic. Meanwhile, his lasting fascination with the problems of mind and matter was heightened by emotional elements in his own life (Hodges 1983, p. 63). In 1934 he graduated with an outstanding degree in mathematics from Cambridge University, followed by a successful dissertation in probability theory which won him a Fellowship of King's College, Cambridge, in 1935. This was the background to his learning, also in 1935, of the problem which was to make his name. As far as history goes, Alan Turing was basically the father of AI. He was the one of the first to even work with computers, as he was a computer scientist during WWII. He worked on cracking German codes with advanced (for the time) computers.

I feel this goes quite well with what we have been looking at for main topics. One part that I found particularly interesting was the medical section where the hologram and glass room was used. I feel that this video would be a good insight into future touch technology, computing in the medical field and augmented reality in the small girls field trip.

"Engineers at the University of Florida (USA) have created a housing that incorporates a tiny microchip and antenna and, after administration, warns that a patient has taken his medicine. According to Rizwan Bashirullah, creator of the invention, the smart pill could be very useful in patients who forget if you have taken medication, or just clueless and do not take it daily. The pill consists of a capsule containing a microchip and an antenna that is printed on its surface using non-toxic ink of silver nanoparticles . The antenna is biocompatible and dissolves almost 100%. When the pill is swallowed, the microchip is communicated to a small external electronic device (which could be incorporated into future mobile phone), which in turn sends a message to a phone or a computer, informing both the patient and the doctors and family members if necessary. According to the American Heart Association, the main problem in treating illness today is that no medical requirements are met . Recent studies show that chronically ill patients only take half of the pills prescribed . And that 10% of hospital admissions due to this lack of consistency. Even 218,000 deaths annually are attributed to this problem. "Using technology to remedy may be a good idea," says Bashirullah."

"The Internet is just a few decades old, but in that short span of time it has experienced significant changes" This site is useful because it explains how in the future internet will be faster. I believe this site is reliable because it has factual information that seems legitimate.

"Moore's law is the observation that, over the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years. The law is named after Intel co-founder Gordon E. Moore, who described the trend in his 1965 paper.[1][2][3] His prediction has proven to be accurate, in part because the law is now used in the semiconductor industry to guide long-term planning and to set targets for research and development.[4]"

"Q: You believe that within about two decades, nanotechnology will replace the computer industry as the field of the biggest technological innovations, right?"

This shows Dr. Kaku's spectacular revelations.

This site is useful because it tells us about the future of mini computers hidden in our lives. This site is realiable because it is Michio Kaku's official website.

"Every twenty years or so since the Industrial Revolution, a group of new technologies has had a major impact on economic life. Steam power, canals, railroads, telegraph and telephone, electricity, road transport, radio, air transport, pharmacology, television, computers and information technology. Some of these have been general enabling technologies (such as steam power or electricity) which change the way production is organised; some (such as television) create new consumer goods which command a large fraction of household time or expenditure. Enabling technologies transform business life. Consumer technologies transform domestic life." This is talking about how technology can be used for wealth. This also says how every twenty years we get new technology.

in the future we will be able to control our homes by our minds

Google Glass page.

I agree with Mason and Michaela that this page is straight from Google. This website is helpful because it shows us how even in just a year, Google Glass could be everywhere. This information can be helpful in predictions for 2100. We could predict that in 2100 everyone would have Google Glass and other technological devices of that sort. Google Glass could make life so much better for everyone. If we were going to make a prediction with Google Glass' place in the future, we would need to mention that it could be distracting and could enable students to cheat at school. Overall, this is a reliable resource.
