WHO WILL BENEFIT AND WHO WILL BE HURT, AT LEAST IN THE SHORT RUN?
Cheap source of energy
Energy gives the ability of a given system to perform work. In order to perform the work in a smooth manner, a constant source of energy that is cheap is required. Therefore, they are certain ways that will be enhanced in order to see the development of the cheap energy source to be launched. This will ensure that most individuals will have access to the energy since it will be affordable. To create its demand it must have numerous benefits to impact the consumers. This will include pivotal advances in the battery technology for it to remain relatively longer in the field. The virtually unlimited source that is small to fit in the pocket will be convenient to most consumers. The visually unlimited energy will fit in the pocket but will become obsolete because of the cell phone. In the short-run the energy suppliers will be hurt, and this will impact the economy negatively and in return it will increase the rate of unemployment (Bullis, 2012).
Development of a transporter similar to star trek.
A transporter motive is to maximize the profits. In order to achieve this, the transporter is required to make many trips across the street or the world. This will have a huge impact on the society since families can transport their goods and will be cost effective. This also means there will be competition in the industry. The transportation industry will be affected negatively due to the dramatic change (Bullis, 2012).
Special memory chips in the human brain.
To implant human brains with a chip as a way of giving them knowledge without learning will be considered a huge impact. This will be done in standard ways that will save time for each individual to learn. There will be uniformity among the people and they will desire the same characteristics amongst themselves. This will impact human negatively since the impact of the chips can be severe in their brains and also undesired characteristics position in their brains (Bullis, 2012).
The internet and its impact.
The internet is a source of easily accessible information that allows the information to be simultaneous and disseminate for anyone who has an equipment that has the features which can allow internet connection. This source of information allows people to communicate and exchange ideas freely. Many adore it due to its convenience and the wide range of ideas and products that one can get from the internet. The future is taking a different direction due the information available and the knowledge that on can get. The use of the internet have numerous advantages but it also has a negative impact on the people. The Internet can be used negatively by spreading wrong and bad ideas as well as immoral values (Bullis, 2012).
