The answer is yes, according to the MIT Technology Review. Each year, the journal publishes a list of its top 10 predictions of technologies that could make a lasting impact in the year to come. This year’s list focuses on advancements in health, green energy and computing. We’ll talk with editors and reporters from the magazine about what technological advances they expect to change our lives, and what technological promises probably won’t pan out.
