Several items posted on the New York Times website, Year in Ideas 2008, have some weak signals and possibilities for mega-trends in the future. Some of these concepts were discussed during the Visioning 2026 process in the different dialogue and focus groups and the educational sessions.
Here area couple that really stood out for me. what are your comments related to these topics?
- More fuel efficient engine for transportation, The Brinkley Engine
- Distant learning, 3D Simulation environmental stress effects related to Drone-Pilot Burnout
- Purchasing and investing local, The Locavesters
- Livestock production, MiniCattle
- Providing computer and communications technology while in transit, The One-Room School Bus
- Smart Grid Energy, similar in some respects to the NPPD electrical monitoring equipment and processes in parts of the state (Two-Way Automated Communications System (TWACS))
- Two-Tirer Teacher Contracts, providing rewards along with risks
Which of these do you think will have an impact in our community and region? Which of these should we look into with regard to further investigation and implementation steps, further connections and parallel process?
