I seem to loose more and more imagination with each passing year. Either
that or I have less and less time to just sit and think. My reading time
decreases as my work time increases.
I did have one silly little 'hope'. I don't even know if it was an
original thought or something I'd read over and archived so deeply in my
brain I don't recall seeing it before. Total recycling. Taking a
substance and breaking it down into it's molecular components (carbon,
oxygen, silicon, sulfur, iron, etc). Nanotech may become a vital
constituent of this process.
I am not the personality to become a fanatic about any particular idea (so
far) and have more fun reaping the fruits of others labors in areas I
mainly consider entertainment (and of course the ego boost at watching an
MTV add on the Sci-Fi channel with a doubter...'the I told you so' thing).
I do often wish I had the finances to try an idea. You gotta spend money
to make money.
I would like to hear if total recycling has been theorized and how possible
(given that the technology does not now exist) it may be.

Those are very interesting ideas, which turned out to work well. Of
course
as Edison said 99% of success is perspiration. Maybe you need to work up
more of a sweat.
Do you have any predictions of the new ideas we will see succeed in the
next decade?
