The National Intelligence Council has released a preliminary report describing “Six Technologies with Potential Impacts on US Interests to [the year] 2025.”  What is most interesting is that the “Internet of Things” or, ubiquitous computing is one of the items on the list.  I am curious how education and learning will fit into this scenario?

NIC - Disruptive Civil Technologies

Through a process of online discussions, clustering, development of technology descriptors, screening, and prioritizing, SRIC-BI Explorer and ScanTM analysts down-selected from 102 potentially disruptive technologies. They identified the following six technologies as most likely to enhance or degrade US national power out to 2025:

Biogerontechnology

Energy Storage Materials

Biofuels and Bio-Based Chemicals

Clean Coal Technologies

Service Robotics

The Internet of Things.
