Futuristic highway glows in the dark, reports the weather and an induction priority lane that will charge electric cars as they drive, presumably via induction coils that are powered by wind.- http://www.nbcnews.com/t...ports-weather-1C6670949

Yes. A very exciting field. Engineer genes, enzymes, nanotech assistance. . . very interesting collaborations.

APIs. Open data will definitely benefit from this. I want to see if someone will come up with an API for web content.Instead of sharing links,you can share the information contained in the links.Like a data feed. With everything getting connected from the fridge,tv,cars,smartphones...people will also need interfaces for them. Uncertainty is certain.Let go

Already possible and done ...via web services and other technologies like Json, ajax. As for other devices communicating, its just a question of strapping something like a bluetooth, infrared or wifi transceivers, add an embedded mini computer running a http or tcp stack ..the rest is just specifying a communication protocol. But manufacturers dont want to do this, its costly and the majority are not asking for it.

I'm talking if a wazuan puts up a businessdaily link,the story is transfered instead of you going to the website.Content portability.The need is there but people know they won't get it.The problem with technology is that they don't want to open their platforms.For example,tvs have usb ports but although its your product access to it is limited to what they want.

I still think people will want to drive their cars. We like the feel of holding a steering wheel. Uncertainty is certain.Let go

I see what you mean ....something similar to 'mail this story' but more elegant. This becomes a broadcast vs pull choice in delivery ..if links automatically transfer data to the consumer, a lot of data would start moving automatically, include not just text but audio and video then add scale, storage and bandwidth issues start to become worrying. Publishers ...esp dubious ones would start 'content spamming', this is a bad problem with email systems already....This is why I see push/broadcast architectures not becoming widespread in the near future.

Do you see an opportunity for it or a demand for it? @ChessMaster, do you think HTML 5.0 will address this opportunity? Possibly,something I read about HTML 5 and web services that got me into that line of thought. I can't remember it now though. But HTML5 is definitely here to stay and I'm seeing movements towards it helping smartphone development.Though not so promising as of now. Uncertainty is certain.Let go

HTML 5 is good cause its open, bad cause it develops at a really slow pace. Take Adobe Flash, yeah its closed but they keep tweaking it, improving it while ISO and w3 consortium keep haggling about standards and interoperability. Apple made people consider HTML5 as a format cause it doesnt like Adobe, but Apple itself is losing momentum, with Android slowly taking over the world. This will leave HTML5 stranded .....

http://mobilehtml5.org/Its a link on html5 and mobile. I agree hmtl5 will take long to improve upon.Just look at how long it took to reach here.But this is how I see it,its a big improvement on web and mobile development. Its a standard that has brought a lot of improvements in it at least that's one step forward.You can still build an android app with html5,css3 and javascript though won't be as good.
