IBM - Smarter Planet - 5 in 5
In the future, everything will learn
- The classroom will learn you
- Buying local will beat online
- Doctors will routinely use your DNA to keep you well
- A digital guardian will protect you online
- The city will help you live in it
In five years, classrooms will learn about you, and personalize coursework accordingly. It's the end of the era of one-size-fits-all education, and the beginning of personalized learning.
In the next five years, buying local will beat online. Merging the tactility and immediacy of physical retail with the richness and personalization of online, local shops will make online-only stores seem downright quaint.
23andme estuvo en las oticias recientemente, la FDA los cuasi-obligo a dejar de vender su kit, parece que este tipo de informaciones estará más a la mano de los responsables de cuidar nuestra salud, aunque ello podría generar también nuevos riesgos. (no me hagan mucho caso en esa parte, tanto videojuego me ha hecho sospechosista
In five years, doctors will routinely use your DNA to keep you well. Cancer will be treated on a DNA level in both the patient and tumor, at a scale and speed never before possible.
In five years, the city will help you live in it. You'll play a direct role in the decision-making process, and your city will become a direct reflection of everyone who lives there.
Los mactards van a decir que el sensor del 5S señaló la ruta, y ni modo, hay que tratarlos como es debido (ignorando sus rebuznos)
In five years, a digital guardian will protect you online. Security is evolving from being based on rules, like passwords, to being automatic and made stronger through us just being us.

Australian research shows mobile phones affect brain function Apr 27 7:05 AM US/Eastern |
Radiation from mobile phone phones affects the way the brain works, Australian researchers have found.
Scientists from Swinburne University of Technology's Brain Sciences Institute in Melbourne found people's response times slowed during a 30-minute mobile phone call but their memory appeared to improve.
The researchers conducted a series of psychological tests on 120 volunteers as they were exposed to mobile phone emissions for half an hour.
Another set of tests was conducted on volunteers who were not exposed to mobile phone radiation but thought they were.
The results, published in April's edition of the journal Neuropsychologia, showed a small but discernable change in brain function among those who were exposed to the electromagnetic fields that mobile phones generate.
"The study showed evidence of slower response times for participants undertaking simple reactions and more complex reactions, such as choosing a response when there is more than one alternative," lead researcher Con Stough said.
"This could equate to driving a car and being distracted by another car pulling out in front of you. The drivers reaction time to chose between braking, turning or sounding the horn, could be affected, albeit slightly.
"The study also found that radiation from mobile phones seems to improve working memory, used for example when remembering a phone number long enough to dial it."
He said further work was needed using magnetic resonance imaging to clarify the way mobile phones alter on the way the brain works.
Stough said further, as-yet-unpublished, research by his team suggested the impact of mobile phone radiation on the brain was cumulative.
"People, for instance, who use the mobile phone a lot seem to have more of an impairment than people who are more naive users," he said.
However, he stressed that the impact on brain function was small and the study did not find that mobile phones caused a health problem.
"We haven't established that there's negative health consequences -- that's a different type of study," he said.
"We're just showing that the radiation is actually active on the brain. But the impairment is small. The convenience and the way that we communicate now these days outweighs that effect."
