Where do you find the best source info when it comes to science and technology? The foundation building blocks that enable a spring board for advance applied technologies that make something useful and beneficial for mankind. Just Googling it does not cut. To create the ground breaking and game changing things there is  a composite of various things which don’t fall under popular search or terms and concepts could be totally outside the digital world.

Written sources are a great place to start like books, magazines, industry reports and white paper publications… oh yeah their digital websites too.

The conference will cover areas like addressing the interconnected systems involving food, water and energy is critical to achieving solutions to one of the most pressing issues facing our planet.

2017 a Game Changer year.
My bold prediction is the best new technology will be a combination of old tech hacks (i.e. flywheels, composite plastic, trade secret recipes to get healthy, etc) and new applications.
 
As hardware techies can attest anything generating motion has the potential to generate electricity. I hope to see more power assisting bikes on the road as more people commute via bike. Convection ovens, dryers and washing machines will pay for them selves with 90% – 50% power reduction lowering your electric bill. Fitness centers retrofit the cycles, treadmills and stair climbers with mini generators and become a local power source to feed into the regional power grid.
 
Hoping hybrid truck can get a boost with solar cell coating and wind technology generating the majority of power, so they only need to sip gas. I can see that headline “18 Wheeler Gets 100 miles to the Gallon”.
 
Stylish homes that can be built in 4 weeks and withstand hurricane force winds.
 
Develop water technology processes that will generate power and/or fresh clean water.
 
The old video phone does a redo as smart phone combine with a TV monitor lets you see everyone in the room.
 
The driverless car has been 20 years in the making, give it another year or two before it goes main stream.
 
These are just a few things on my wish list for 2017. What are yours?
