10 predictions for open source in 2014 - TechRepublic (blog) | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

The year 2013 was a solid year for open source. There were plenty of highs and certainly a few lows. However, I believe that Linux -- continuing to build on its solid groundwork -- will have the best year yet in 2014.

Forecast 2014: The Human Transformation Revolution - Gold Seek

Forecast 2014: The Human Transformation Revolution - Gold Seek | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

The next twenty years will see more technological change than we have seen in the last hundred years put together. My Dad would hitch up the wagon to drive seven miles to town in the 1920s.

The Human Genome Project was seen as an expensive joke unlikely to be completed in less than a few decades. Twenty years ago, robots were still very limited in scope, and AI had lost its mojo in the public eye. Only a few years earlier a serious Stanford physics professor said Qualcomm’s technology violated the laws of physics and was a hoax.
