The Online Think Tank believes so and has submitted the first artists concept rough sketches. Here is what one thinker had to say about the design: |
Time Travel Theory - Is Time Travel Possible? Is time travel possible? The laws of physics seem to allow the possibility of time travel to take place. There are several time travel paradoxes that come into existence. If one day someone knocks on your door and says that they are a distant relative of yours, you might want to think twice before you close the door. |
Traveling in the Universe - A Thought What is the best way to travel through the Galaxy or Universe? How about moving thru space by standing still, perhaps like the World Wide Telescope, but by using a Galactic Positioning System map. How so you ask? Well, let me explain a thought to you. |
3D TV Technology Has Plenty Of Applications Three dimensional TV, or 3D TV as it will undoubtedly come to be called, is sure to become a winner when it comes to market in the future. This futuristic way of watching TV has been envisioned for years. In fact, it's a rare science fiction scenario that doesn't anticipate some kind of holographic or three dimensional entertainment or communications technology. |
Sparking Students' Interest Using Colored Paper and Binding As most teachers know, creating lesson plans and making bulletin boards are tasks they were able to practice and begin to master as part of their teacher preparation programs. What many programs fail to address is how to spark student interest in those lessons. As seasoned educational professionals know, getting the students interested in the assignment is often the biggest hurdle they must cross. |
Blended Learning - Audio-conferencing As A Cost Effective Delivery Technique Many students have demands on their time that can dictate how or if they can further their education. Schools looking to serve these students should consider adopting blended learning techniques to provide flexible educational opportunities. Using a combination of online or face-to-face classes with audio-conferencing is one cost effective way to make this happen. |
How Pro Athlete's Can Inspire Youth Pro Athletes can now inspire kids with their actions and their words. In the past athletes couldn't necessarily demonstrate their skills live on location, but not anymore. With the advent of Action Sports helped by the popular X-Games, these stunt athletes have a unique opportunity to demonstrate incredible stunts on location LIVE, but more importantly, inspire today's youth with powerful life-changing messages delivered in a "cool" and unforgettable way! |
What Is The Next Step In Evolution? It would seem preposterous to talk about the next step in evolution while 84% of the world's population is stuck in archaic religions and have been for thousands of years. In the course of its history humanity has not moved very far from worshipping trees, stones, animals statues and imagined Gods. As enlightened or sophisticated as we think we are in the western world, we are still down on our knees. |
The Cristo Rey Model is More than a Dream Shortly after I heard about President Bush's proposal for Pell Grants for low-income children to attend parochial schools, I finished reading More than a Dream: The Christo Rey Story, a inspirational book about the founding of the first Cristo Rey Jesuit high school in Chicago's Pilsen/Little Village neighborhood. More than a Dream is a history of the challenges that Jesuit leaders and Jesuit school alumni faced twelve years ago. Cristo Rey started with a focus on its neighborhood, to educate low ... |
Want to Teach Intelligent Design? Put It In a History Class In 1980, the Reagan Revolution meant not only a reconsideration of sex education, but also a reconsideration of the theory of evolution. Back then, the alternative theory was called creationism or scientific creationism; today it's called intelligent design. |
The Third Level of Education Our schools and educators have not advanced beyond systems developed 5,000 years ago. Thought, obviously necessary to educate our children, turns out to be the problem fatale at a deeper level that keeps humanity stuck in the quasi-animal world of self-inflicted violence. |
Dreams That Inspire Millions Martin Luther King had a dream that inspired millions. This compelling motivational speaker has one with a similar potential to influence millions. |
Mind Science - A Brief History of the New Thought Movement Mind science has recently become the rage. Over the last 20 years, ever since science realizes that mind has far greater influence on the state our physical body and life than previously thought, there have been an increasing number of researches, experiments and studies done on the mind. The phenomenal success of The Secret movie that advocates that our mind is the creator of our realities and we have the power to be in control over our own destiny simply by mastering our own mind has further generated interest in this field. |
Animals Inspire Human Development We frequently look to animals and their ability to adapt to their environments for inspiration when developing new technologies or improving existing ones. Birds, snakes and dolphins have proved to be particularly influential in human development. |
Shoes of the Future Available Now Shoes designs are becoming more and creative and innovative as people grow tired of the basics and demand more novelty and functionality from their footwear. We now have shoes that combat obesity in children, emit fruit scents as we walk and are working prototypes of science fiction designs. |
Teaching Today and Tomorrow There are many problems with the public school system. Here are some ideas regarding what some of those problems are and possible solutions, to provide children of the future with a better educational experience. |
Considerations for the Design of Orbital Hotels When designing an Orbiting Hotel or Orbitel, the consideration of artificial gravity doesn't eliminate the possibility for a weightless experience. The nature of artificial gravity is that it occurs only at the outer perimeter of a rotating cylinder. It is still weightless in the center areas. Manipulating your location in the craft can give you the sense of loosing weight or gaining weight. |
Normality Will Be The Shock Of The Future In the future human beings will live between 3000 (three thousand) and 4000 (four thousand) years old. Of course, there will be some who will live as nowadays (year 2007) between 70 and 100 years old, but we will talk about these people in the following article. |
Road Messenger The news continues to be filled with reports of road rage incidents to such an extent, the symptoms of someone working themselves up to a frenzy have become identifiable. It is clear that something new is called for to advance communications between motorists beyond flashing lights and honking horns. |
Experiential Training and Development Experiential education is just like other learning processes in the way that it is best taught and understood by the breaking down into stages. Experiential learning cycles treat the learner's subjective experience as of critical importance in the learning process. Experiential learning cycles (ELC) draw on experiential education principles, which are largely based on the educational philosophy of John Dewey. |
Education In Today's World Today's world is undergoing rapid changes and the implication of these changes on education and educationalists is great. Education today requires one to mould a child into an individual capable of contributing effectively to society and to the world community at large. Children in today's world must be taught to think and not merely to remember. |
In Our Grasp - How The Interent And New Technology Will Democratise Publishing For a century Wider access to education has changed the world, opening up the possiblility of participating in human intellectual life for millions of people who otherwise would have merely repeated the ways of the past. Now the internet, new technology and the vision of a few far sighted individuals is opening up access to publishing and promises a flowering as great for future generations. |
Learner Based Culture - Experiential Learning Fact Sheet Experiential learning is education that occurs as a direct participation in the events of life. Here learning is "informal", organized by people themselves. It is learning that is achieved through reflection upon everyday experience and is the way that most of us do most of our learning. |
Merit Pay For Teachers - How Will It Work? One enduring argument against rewarding teachers with merit pay is that it will encourage these professionals to "teach to the test". The "test" that is the object of this constraint is the "standardized achievement test," and it has been evolving from research results for nearly 65 years. These student-test outcomes constitute the basis for judging school performance, and even comparing public school students with their International counterparts. America is a competitive society and, no matter how much money we provide education, the competition seems to always be winning. |
Interactive Voting System It is also known as interactive learning response system or audience response system and is used to promote group participation during classroom teaching, discussion, debate or brainstorming session. It uses RF (Radio Frequency) technology and is generally used with interactive whiteboards (of the same brand) to obtain instant real time audience feedback in response to questions asked or the teaching delivered. |
Think About Solar Flares - Space Energy and Solar Power for Future Space Colonies Current Solar Energy may not be enough power up entire space colonies, but it might with future technologies. Solar energy and natural space radiation is sufficient for many things. Mars has no atmosphere compared to Earth, so it has some additional choices that we cannot use here on Earth as easily. |
Space Colonies How would Space Colony inhabitants protect themselves from solar flares, incoming space debris and the perils that lie ahead? Is it feasible to put a colony on the Moon and one on Mars? Recently, this discussion came up in the online think tank and one individual said with regards to living in a space colony: |
Preschool Education In USA - Emerging Trends And Implications For Future United States of America has a federal structure and education is primarily a State and local responsibility. This is reflected well in the expenditure pattern on America's education. While the local communities, private organizations and State agencies contribute more than ninety percent of education budget; federal expenditure generally remains below ten percent. States and communities, as well as public and private organizations of all kinds are involved in establishing schools and colleges, develop curricula, and determine requirements for enrollment in educational institutes of USA. |
Improvement And Growth - Qualities That Are Taught By The BMX Stunt Team If you have ever been to a BMX stunt show then you will probably appreciate just how much the professionals actually put into the show. You will probably also appreciate the stunts, but you may not fully appreciate what sort of impact the BMX stunt team can actually have on young people. |
Future Advances for Voice Recognition Applications The future of voice and speech recognition is upon on, but where is this technology going and how will this help us in our daily lives, work or assist our government in becoming more efficient? Well, it is time to start discussing some of the potential future applications or 'killer aps' that are now possible or will be shortly, along with issues of funding the research forward. |
Vocal Cord Speech Vibration Recognition + Current Voice Recognition Communicate without saying a word - is it possible? Yes, as a matter of fact they are doing it right now. Currently, there is advanced research in the US Military that allows vocal cords to be read, without actual speech or voice, these systems are working now. How do they do that you ask? |
The Turing Test, Artificial Intelligence and Science Fiction Much discussion on the subject of AI is philosophically shallow. In this century it may become an urgent issue for us to face. We need to acknowledge that consciousness is transcendent and cannot be "created", but it can perhaps be triggered. |
Classroom Management - How To Handle Power Seeking Students The sad fact is, it doesn't matter how well teachers know their content, it doesn't matter how many strategies teachers know to improve reading comprehension or to increase academic achievement. If teachers can not manage their classroom, they can not teach. |
Robotic Fire Fighting UGVs and UAVs - Put Out the Fire and Save the Trees! Every year, firefighters die fighting fires to save lives, but what if firefighters didn't have to die to save others? What if we had robotic firefighting equipment that used unmanned ground vehicle technologies - what if we used unmanned aerial vehicles or UAVs to put out wildfires to save our trees? We have these technologies now, and it is just a matter of allocating some research and development dollars and making it available. |
Looking Ahead - A Futurists Dilemma Most futurists know that if they predict technology into the future out some 50-years, then people think they are crazy and I suppose if you told some one that many would land on the moon, before aircraft had been invented, they would tell you that you were nuts. So, looking ahead is a problem for some futurists, thus they generally try not to stray too far into the future. |
Will Voice Activated Software Hyperspace to Speech-Thought Recognition Communication? And what comes next? What about thought recognition software, thought to speech, speech to thought, thought to thought? What about communicating in this way with other species, such as chimpanzees, animals, dolphins - is that really possible? |
The Future Cometh - But What Will It Be? Depending on your age you have seen quite a bit change during your lifetime and without giving away my exact age, men had not yet walked on the moon. My Grandmother before she passed saw the first automobiles, airplanes, jet aircraft, microwaves, TV, etc. When I first started in business we did not even have fax machines, there were no cell phones and the Internet? Ha, there was no internet - Imagine that type of world? |
Clothes Make The Man? In previous times, there was an old adage about dressing for success which included the saying, "The clothes make the man." Fashions come and go through the years, and some fashions return again after they have spent enough time in moth balls. For the not so distant future, fashion might play a role in more than just appearances. Taking a queue from Hollywood concepts and the propensity for science fiction to become fact, there may one day be technology where clothing plays a role in the next stage of human development. |
What a "Number Two America" Will Look Like? Around the year of 2015 American's world as they currently know it will change dramatically. To think about the concept of becoming #2 in the world makes people's hair stand up on their back of their necks. The confidence of the Country is going to be shattered and a new psychological outlook will emerge. What will the country look like? |
Jack Vance and the Medium Future The medium future - a few tens of thousands of years ahead - poses a problem for the science fiction writer. We are not yet in the far future, in which man may have evolved into just about anything you care to invent. Constraints of credibility still apply: man is likely to be more or less what he is now. Jack Vance's approach to this is interesting. He has man amazingly similar to us, yet the far future setting is convincing. |
How to Cope with the Really Far Future in Science Fiction At first glance it might seem that the problems of writing about the far future are overwhelming. Actually, it is easier than the near future. The opportunities it gives for layering of ideas, and for stories based on mood, greatly increase the author's freedom of action. Ways exist meanwhile for keeping the reader 'grounded' in a sense of reality, with the perception that no matter how much time has elapsed, not everything changes. |
Personal Development is Bringing Artificial Intelligence to the Internet It never ceases to amaze me... that the personal development industry is growing as rapidly as it is. When you see that self help is being used to raise money for charities, it doesn't come as much of a surprise. When you read that there is a cruise or a personal development retreat, you may think "Well, that sounds like fun. It's good that they do things like that for people." |
Robots - The Future of Eldercare Advances in technology have been astounding over the last decade. Electronics are starting to be built into everything from vacuums to toothbrushes and slowly, but surely, computers will become an invaluable part of every aspect of daily living.

So, since you missed this one, perhaps I can shed some light and give you a quick summary. |
Unlimited UAV Range - Aloft for 5-10 years - It is Possible Engineers and scientists are rising to the challenge to design and build a UAV, which never needs refueling and can stay aloft for five or more years doing surveillance. There are many different concepts in mind. One would be to make a solar aircraft, of course that would not work in all regions or areas of the world. Another thought is to make a system that takes hydrogen from the air and uses it to run a fuel cell. Still another concept is to have a balloon aircraft that inflates and then rises up, deflates and glides down, then re-inflates to go up, over and over again. |
Has The 'Tragedy Of The Commons' Scenario Finally Reached Almeria? Here, I discuss the problems of water shortage in my home area in Southern Spain. I relate to Hardin's Tragedy of the Commons paper from the 1960's. I put forward suggestions on what should be done in the future re construction. |

Kantian Ethics - "Good vs. Evil" Many people who are into Kantian ethics make a comparison that it is similar to Christianity. Although this is true to some extent, here's how it differs: Kantian ethics do not have to, nor do they support, belief in God. The just of this theory is based upon If I make a correct choice, I am good. Where the theory gets kind of crazy though, happens when you take out God. |
Education Lite - Feels Good But Less Filling The public school system is not interested in education, but merely psychological conditioning - therapy that turns out obedient soldiers, factory workers, consumers and dependable voters. It teaches little and takes twelve years of mostly wasted time. |

How Do Think Tanks Decide What to Think About? Often we read in a news article that certain Think Tank recommends that things be done a certain way. Yet one has to wonder why a think tank decides to research, study or set up a committee to explore a certain topic in the first place. So, how does a Think Tank decide what to think on anyway? |
Becoming a Futurist - It May Be In Your Future Often people ask me why I became a Futurist? The interesting thing is that our minds are set up to plan for the future, perhaps this is why the human species has indeed made it this far. Unfortunately, if we do not plan in advance and throw caution to the wind too often we make rather poor decisions and the law of unintended consequences prevails. |

Pulsed Laser Light Creation Singularities and Time Travel Is it possible to create a light beam that never actually starts but sends our pre-waves, which stop the event from occurring, but once the waves are created they cannot be uncreated. Yet if the creation of the light itself is stopped, how can you have the energy by its self? |
Can We Send Information Faster Than the Speed of Light? Well we know that the precursory waves to light waves occur as disruptions as the light pushes them out. So what if the precursory waves were labeled as a one or zero? This is information now. So you could have a pulsed laser send out precursory waves and kill the main event of the light from the pulse laser just before it starts. Thus you send precursory disruption waves as your actual signal |
Religion As A School Subject Religion is the subject of live discussions of whether it should be taught at schools or not. |
The E-Citizen Future-Currently Governments Move Slow Protecting Us From It Moving Too Fast There are huge numbers of eGovernment initiatives going on around the planet in nearly every government on Earth. Previously in past periods the bureaucracy protected citizens from the government moving to fast. Will the eCitizen, you, have that same protection in the future? |
Designing an Ocean Wave Hydro Electric Generator Which Can Withstand a 500 Lb Bomb With all the conflict in the world we must be careful with the infrastructure projects we put into Third World nations. With all the help that the NGOs, world governments and United States of America give we must be realistic with the money we spend and how we spend it. First order of business should not be simply to cure diseases or feed people. |
MindMaps of the Future; Online Think Tank Topic We have all seen the MindMaps that have become so popularized through seminars and their excellent spokesmen, authors and psychological researchers, but it is now time to take these MindMaps to a whole new level and use them to predict behavior mathematically by way of computer and perhaps even use them for AI or Artificial Intelligent Computer programming. |
