These technologies all have staying power. They will affect the economy and
our politics, improve medicine, or influence our culture. Some are unfolding now; others will take a decade or more to develop. But you should know about all of them right now.

Breakthrough Technologies
The List

Scientists are making remarkable progress at using brain implants to restore the freedom of movement that spinal cord injuries take away.
Tractor-trailers without a human at the wheel will soon barrel onto highways near you. What will this mean for the nation’s 1.7 million truck drivers?
Face-detecting systems in China now authorize payments, provide access to facilities, and track down criminals. Will other countries follow?
Advances at Google, Intel, and several research groups indicate that computers with previously unimaginable power are finally within reach.
Inexpensive cameras that make spherical images are opening a new era in photography and changing the way people share stories.
By converting heat to focused beams of light, a new solar device could create cheap and continuous power.
Scientists have solved fundamental problems that were holding back cures for rare hereditary disorders. Next we’ll see if the same approach can take on cancer, heart disease, and other common illnesses.
Biology’s next mega-project will find out what we’re really made of.
The relentless push to add connectivity to home gadgets is creating dangerous side effects that figure to get even worse.
By experimenting, computers are figuring out how to do things that no programmer could teach them.
