Help me out here. If we wanted to define the "Top 10 Technology Questions" & challenges, what would they be? Delete, change, correct and adjust the following and send your take to the Harvard Technology Forum list as a member; sign up at http://harvtechforum.org . Or send your comments to me pg@harvtechforum.org and I'll post what you say verbatim. What are the problems where technology plays an important role?
1. Are there 11 dimensions, or X many more than we have established by experiment today, and what is the interaction with the world we perceive of those dimensions?
2. Are the current tools in play on Earth destroying it and making it unlivable and what are we going to do about it?
3. If we can redefine the building blocks of life what world will we build and what methodology will govern our choices?
4. With more and more data accessible can we make it useful?
5. Is there life elsewhere in other dimensions or in the Universe we perceive and can science establish that this is so?
6. What is going to be done about weapons development and use?
7. What is going to be done about human suffering and disparity between population centers in this regard?
8. When will we leave this planet and populate elsewhere; where, and how will we go?
9. What is life? I almost made this one 5(a).
10. Can technology help us resolve disputes better?
How will the necessary components to go after these questions be funded? I made these up. Many of you are experts in the areas where I am treading so please do not hesitate to comment and redefine what I am saying. And my question for the group is if we were to agree on a top 10 list (and that is a big if) what are we going to do to help in these areas, why or why not? And if we had to put the list in priority order what order would that be, and why?
