Chief Prognosticator

In the era of the Semantic web, I see a very amazing application: The Truth Machine. In natural language, you type in something you want to know, e.g.

“Who Invented the Internet?”

The search agent goes through the entire web and assembles “the truth”.

Instead of returning pages with this text (a la Web 1.0 / 2.0), the search agent quantifies and qualifies the data to come up with a succinct answer (most likely in terms of probability). For example, the answer should be something like:

“There is no one inventor of the Internet, it was created and built upon a series of inventions and advances in communication technology, primary participants in this process were Kahn and Cerf, Researchers at ARPANET, and Researchers at CERN” – 95%

Think of it as a Web 3.0 version of “Fact Check dot Org” but instant and limitless.

Here’s a prediction: Several key technologies will continue to evolve and finally combine to create contact lenses which will be able to record everything you see. The video will be captured and wirelessly transmitted to a storage device on your body. Perhaps even the video could be stored directly on the lens and download later when you clean them!

The future is going on all around us right now. The seeds of technology planted today are going to be the high tech fauna which fills our lives tomorrow. My looking at technologies, trends, products, and ideas, we can make predictions about the future and perhaps even help shape it.
