For the leading think tanks, labs and entrepreneurial innovators innovation is the key. An original thought can turn to gold with the correct team. Many thoughts fall by the way side, yet should be considered in more detail. Sometimes very good thoughts are moved forward without regard to the problems anticipated which will cause a future failure of the product, yet sometimes the human gut instinct says; “Let’s do it; we can figure out the details later!” A dangerous and risky proposition, yet many an invention was taken forward in this way and sometimes it takes risks to see it through.

One dilemma of the innovators is what will be the next invention needed? How can you follow the trends to figure it out? How can you predict the future? Indeed thinking ahead is not that hard if you watch all the trends simultaneously, actually it to me seems almost impossible not to do. And yet all the humans run around with turned off brains and think you are brilliant for merely pointing out the obvious. Some trends are so obvious that only a few people ever put them together. But the innovative groups must to survive. Unless they have money to burn and can simply better the efforts of the first innovative prototypes and buy up those companies.

Well, with Gates, he does not have to be “First to Market” he can be second and take all the new innovations and put them together and have the better consumer “Widget Mouse Trap,” hell that’s what everyone would do, if they had the funding. Risk reward is always an issue with Bureaucratic Large groups and labs, thus you need to keep is running within special teams of innovative talent in my opinion.

One of the groups, which does this well is DARPA, although some say they could do it better, they always seem to bring the right teams together. Indeed they are not the only superstars of innovation, as a few really smart companies which allow the creative geniuses their computers, drawing boards and brilliance that comes with baggage can often come up with an incredible break thru very quickly. But the creative innovators need some slack and they have quirks and needs. So, if we want their minds then we must insure that they can whatever they need to move forward in a semi-structured path with limited boundaries. Then they do it simply because they love to do it, then every one wins. Plato talked of this in the Republic; allow everyman to do what he is best at and alleviate them from what they are not good at. Entrepreneurs should not be forced to fill out forms or do accounting or wear ties for instance you see? Think on this in 2006.

    It seems it is time to add a little bit of artificial intelligence into the supercomputer system that predicts the weather and tracks the hurricanes at NOAA. Artificial intelligence computers can learn and program themselves and by feeding them all the archived data from all the past recent hurricane seasons and five years worth of normal airflow and normal weather patterns, we should be able to get a pretty good idea of exactly what the super storms will do. We need to know as hurricanes form exactly where they are going and where they will make landfall yet what amount of force on the Saffir-Simpson scale.

    If these supercomputers to train themselves in work through trillions of calculations per second, using all the old data collected they should be able to give us a pretty good idea of exactly what is to happen. Additionally we need to add some more datasets into these equations for instance solar flares and how they heat up our atmosphere; also underwater oceanography and volcanic vents. Since we are in a La Nina season we know that the 2006 Atlantic tropical hurricane season will be severe and it could perhaps rivaled the 2005 hurricane season. Of course we hope it won’t in early predictions show that will be somewhat less however we cannot know for sure. Once those ocean surface temperatures start heating up in the Gulf of Mexico and when those hurricanes into the Gulf of Mexico there is just no telling what type of devastation will be created.

    We must upgrade our supercomputers at NOAA to ensure that they are able to track, predicts and tell us the information we need to know to warn our citizens. During the 2005 hurricane season NOAA did a wonderful job providing the data we needed to protect the American people. But this is no time to rest on our laurels, because this is a time when we need to forge ahead and Press on to better what we have in our supercomputer weather systems. Introducing artificial intelligence, which can learn and reprogram themselves to better estimate weather is essential in this decade of hurricane cycles. Consider this 2006 per

    An artificially intelligent robotic android will need a little knowledge in order to become a viable part of a human grouping, whether that grouping is a family unit, team or even a catering company or a car wash if it will be working along side other humans. This is because humans need a baseline of knowledge in order to be accepted by a group and thus able to discuss relative information or knowledge with one another. Indeed it also helps humans as they further explain a thought to put it into some sort of context.

    Now then to program a computer or artificially intelligent android to work well around other humans it will need also a baseline of knowledge, too much knowledge could actually displace the robot in their human grouping and thus make it un-welcomed, outcaste or perhaps disliked. Human groups tend to do this, whether this is a good trait or not is quite irrelevant as it is merely a fact of basic human interaction in groups. Thus we need to address this.

    So rather than taking the Bill Gate’s approach and reading the entire encyclopedia as a child or programming into a artificially intelligent robotic android the entire set of Encarta on five CD ROMs or attempting to download all the pages of the Wikipedia Website, I propose that we take an over all approach with some dates and facts interspersed.

    So, I move we take Bill Bryson’s book “A Brief History of Everything” and program that into the robotic android, along with some basic dates that many humans know, such as the signing date of the Declaration of Independence, 1492 Columbus sailed the seas of Blue and the war of 1812; your basic stuff, not enough for the android to be a total smarty pants, but enough to hold its own under your basic organic human unit in the social grouping. Please consider this in 2006.

    At present, as a noticeable number of firms and directors are looking towards internet video websites as a fabulous place to post content to attract their potential viewers, it’s necessary to be acquainted with the key benefits of using web video promotion channels.

    Here are some basic bits & pieces you must be familiar with previous to you starting to circulate videos on internet video sites. If your are searching for a creative agency devoted to empowering your company with first-class Internet video marketing, visit www.vidify.co.uk now.

    All the time strive to use professional videos that provide value added material to your customers – Many business people misguidedly believe you can merely add any brand of advertisement on a video website, but nothing could be any further from reality. Every video must give some worthwhile info to the desired market, if not then at least topic of debate.

    Conduct some market research on the video websites before distributing your very 1st video – It’s a good plan to allot some substantial amount of time typing your market’s main keywords into Yahoo, in an effort to realise what comparable professional videos are at this time online. Next note down the profile names of the most key users in your market. Maybe down the line you can participate in a joint venture or even have some type of partnership with these users.

    Take into consideration that every video website has a community built into it – With this in mind you ought to respect the other members & it’s recommended that you write positive remarks about your rivals’ videos. Primarily you need to be a member of the society, offering comment, ideas etc. And only then should you think of being a video marketer and begin to distribute your own videos and services.

    Commit yourself to creating quite a lot of videos – You should have an obvious strategy for producing and posting numerous videos. Otherwise, your video company’s page on the video portals will give the impression of being empty if it just has one video on view. Thus, allocate extra time preparing the manufacturing of a series of short format promotional videos, rather than only one very long video.

    Internet video marketing is one of the best & fastest ways of promoting your organisation currently.

    Many people decry a time when man may merge with machine. Currently replacement of body parts is only done when someone is seriously injured such as an accident or in war. So far there is not a lot of talk about these issues and the technology and Bio Ethics debate, but you can hear some rumblings out there. Are people scared of the future? Many believe they are, especially as the replacement parts are better than the original. Maybe not better, but will last longer, be stronger and provide better performance. “better, faster, stronger!”

    Regarding the replacement of body parts which are not working or have been failed in the human body, soon we will have choices of re-generation due to advances in BioTech, stem cell and other methods being theorized and researched with nanotech, enzyme, protein, RNA, DNA therapy and switching.

    If you can get a Bionic Eye like Steve Austin or a Bionic Ear like Lindsey Wagoner, what is wrong with that? If I can get a computer chip with all the worlds libraries in my head attached somehow and accessible with my memory, why wouldn’t I? If we can help our young soldiers win more battles thru better uses of technologies or allow long-term space travel using such systems, why not? Think on this in 2006.
