New Year's tech review

The inevitable end-of-year technology roundups are appearing in the media and a few are even worth reading. As the rate of scientific progress continues to accelerate, the forecasts that we used to see at this time of year have become almost superfluous as recent advances are as dramatic as much science fiction. Among the best compendiums is a series of articles at MIT's online Technology Review Website where ten of the most revolutionary of the many developing technologies are expounded upon. These "Emerging Technologies That Will Change the World" include Brain-Machine Interfaces, Data Mining, Microphotonics, Robot Design and Microfluidics.
