The <em>FC</em> Wish List: Science Edition

By: <cite>Fast Company</cite> Staff
Advances we hope to see by 2016.

  • Personalized medicine
    Drugs should know our genetic profile and work around it.

  • Molecular transport
    Because we can't figure out these new airline boarding schemes.

  • Mosquito repellent that works . . .
    and, oh yeah, doesn't cause cancer.

  • Oil: the other alternative energy
    As in, the last resort after solar, wind, hydro, thermal, hydrogen . . .

  • Athletic robots
    We just want to see one play chess and box Mike Tyson.

  • A fat-burning pill . . .
    that works while we sleep. We're really that lazy.

From Issue 103 | March 2006
