· Contact lenses will grant us Terminator vision.
When miniaturization reaches its full potential, achieving superhuman eyesight will be as simple as placing a soft lens on your eye. Early prototypes feature wirelessly powered LEDs. But circuits and antennas can also be grafted onto flexible polymer, enabling zooming, night vision, and visible data fields.

The limit on supersonic flight is not one of engineering but of economics. Aircraft that break the speed of sound guzzle fuel, so new jet engines will have to be efficient. One solution—the pulse detonation engine, which uses a fuel— air mixture—was tested at the Mojave Air & Space Port in 2008. By 2030 a successor will power that fabled 2-hour hop from New York to London.
YOUR HOME WILL BE TRULY CONNECTED

· The carpet will detect intruders and summon help if you fall.
· Lawn sensors will tell you which part of your yard to fertilize.
· The electric meter will monitor local power consumption and help you make full use of off-peak rates.
· The thermostat will learn your preferences and adjust the climate in each room as soon as you enter.
Within 30 years humans will begin augmenting their brains by plugging the power of tomorrow's cellphones directly into their heads. — Shawn Carlson, founder of the Society for Amateur Scientists.
