Ok you technonuts, is this technology gonna happen or not? If so, who is the leader? I'm going back into the market 2013 and I need an entry point. Risk is immaterial!
Or what is the next technology that is on the horizon?

3D printers will be the next greatest tech advancment.
Look at these two companies: Stratasys (SSYS) & 3D Systems (DDD)

Damn, Damn, Damn! Too late for these (SSYS & DDD) as a stock play for me. I will put them on the watch list for options. Maybe a split is near. Their numbers are good, and they make a product I can understand.
SSYS - has gone from $32.87 to $84.40 in the last year. A lot of bullish analysts.
DDD - has gone from $15.75 to $59.89 since July. A lot of very bullish analysts.
XDSL - disregard my comment about risk ;D! WTH! How is this stock even traded publicly? I will get in when the institutional investors get in.

How about robotic snakes designed to wiggle through the rubble of a collapsed building or a patient's intestines. The mechanical engineer at California Institute of Technology has built a computerized, multijointed snake that twists and inches forward when air is moved between bladders in its body.
1. Doctors at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles are testing a 10-inch plastic-and-rubber prototype in pigs. Entering painlessly through the mouth or rectum, the snake is computer-guided to slither to places that current fiber-optic endoscopes have difficulty reaching. With a camera attached, the snake could radio pictures to a computer screen outside. Armed with a small laser, it could perform internal surgery. Burdick thinks his snakes may be used one day to check gas lines, toxic waste dumps, and aircraft engines.
2. Medrobotics Corp., an emerging medical robotics company developing the innovative Flex™ Robotic System, announced today the conversion of notes totaling $33.6 Million purchased through recent financings into Series D Preferred Stock. Existing Medrobotics shareholders and undisclosed new investors participated in the Series D raise. Proceeds will be used for regulatory preparations and submissions and for anticipated commercial launches next year in Europe and the United States.
3. CardioArm Surgical Snake Will Worm its Way Into Your Heart - Just last year, we showed you the concept i-Snake medical robot, and now a different team actually has a similar device for real: the CardioArm. This little robo-tentacle is being developed partly at Carnegie Mellon University, and is apparently the most flexible endoscope ever that follows its own camera-head in a snake-like way through your innards. Since it enters the body through a single incision, it's much less traumatic for the patient: minimally invasive surgery is clearly the way ahead.
Its snake/tentacle body is designed to perform cardiac surgery without damaging other tissue on the way in to its destination. Currently their smallest prototype is 12 inches long and just 0.47 across, with 102 degrees of freedom and is joystick-steered by a surgeon. Successful cardiovascular operations have been carried out using CardioArm on cadavers and pigs, and more extensive human trials are upcoming.
It's a technology suited to many different surgeries, but not until it's a tad smaller: ultimately the team plan to miniaturize it to the point that it can get in via a vein.

Yep one in the same , to me this is the next big thing . It will enable the average joe with a brain fart to make whatever they can think of . Imagine some psycho alone in his basement mass producing WMD's , scary . |
