Top innovations for the future

The above website had lsited the following as possible top 10 innovations for the future, in 2005. I would like to track them progressviely in anotehr 15-20 years.

1. Human genome mapping and genetic-based personal identification and diagnostics will lead to preventive treatment of diseases and cures for specific cancers.
2. Super materials. Computer-based design and manufacturing of new materials at the molecular level will mean new, high-performance materials for use in transportation, computers, energy, and communications.
3. Compact, long-lasting and highly portable energy sources, including fuel cells and batteries will power electronic devices of the future, such as portable personal computers.
4. Digital high definition television. This important breakthrough for American manufacturers — and major source of revenue — will lead to better advanced computer modeling and imaging.
5. Electronic miniaturization for personal use. Interactive, wireless data centers in a pocket calculator-size will provide users with a fax machine, telephone, and computer capable of storing all the volumes in their local library.
6. Cost-effective "smart systems" will integrate power, sensors, and controls. They eventually will control the manufacturing process from beginning to end.
7. Anti-aging products that rely on genetic information to slow the aging process will include aging creams that really work.
8. Medical treatments will use highly accurate sensors to locate problems, and drug delivery systems will precisely target parts of the body — such as chemotherapy targeted specifically to cancer cells to reduce the side effects of nausea and hair loss.
9. Hybrid fuel vehicles. Smart vehicles, equipped to operate on a variety of fuels, will select the appropriate fuel based on driving conditions.
10. Edutainment. Educational games and computerized simulations will meet the sophisticated tastes of computer-literate student
