Some of the advances that are being made in a fairly quiet manner, are a bit of a mind blow when you look at them together as a list. I’ll give you a small list here to give you an idea of what I’m talking about.
Keep in mind that these are all things that have already been done in the lab and some are in production. Typically, the gestation period from lab to production is 5 to 10 years, but that timeframe is also shrinking fast. Click on the link to read an article about the topic.
