Wild Cards contributed by Martin Fatun
Chip is inserted in the body at birth which will monitor the body, prevent diseases and heal the body if necessary. It can also communicate with health centre and ask for medical intervention and treatments. People will no lo...
This wildcard was generated from the Grand Challenge Work Life Balance. The original idea was derived from a work saving aspect whereby thoughts could be transferred straight from the brain onto software similar to Microsoft W...
Secure and safe internet that is easy to use
This wild card was deemed originally as very dull but very wild. As the title suggests a new Internet would be developed that would be safe from criminal activity and social pathologies (private information theft, pornography,...
A significant breakthrough in physics of materials has been made to further to increase efficiency in production of energy. New non-fragile carbon composites were developed as well as new superconductors.
Clean coal technology discovered
Energy industry in number of countries will be still to a large extent based on conventional coal energy. Despite of the fact that coal is the most pollutive fossil fuel, it is still to be the most widely used source of energy ...
A breakthrough discovery in plasma physics
A shocking discovery has been made in ITER, which enables fast implementation of thermonuclear fusion into practical utilization in energy production.
A considerable increase in efficiency of renewable resources
An ongoing rapid development of renewable resources of energy results in increase of their efficiency, availability and stability. As a result, some countries start to consider renewable resources as a real alternative to conve...
Severe accident of a nuclear power plant
Although the risk of a severe accident of a nuclear power plant is extremely low, it is still not a zero-risk. In the past, at least two major accidents of nuclear power plants occurred – in Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, w...
The Moore's Law describes a long-term trend in the history of computing hardware, in which the number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit has doubled approximately every two years. When the ...
