Time Capsule - 2105

How would our economy, our jobs, our society and culture, our daily lives, be altered if in the future all of the material needs of all mankind could cheaply and easily be met by developments in such technologies as nano-engineering and nuclear fusion? What if nobody had a corner on any form of knowledge or information? What would then be the motivation for careers? for our lives?

Developments in Cryptography and Invulnerable Security

"Quantum Bit Commitment Protocol" (QBC) has been proven formally to be invulnerable to all attacks consistent with the laws of quantum mechanics."
What a statement.
Any organization involved in the application of quantum cryptography is on the cutting edge of communications security.
Companies that find innovative, efficient, and adaptable ways to implement and/or apply the principles of quantum cryptography to communications security should turn tremendous profits.
Moreover, non-security related applications of quantum technologies are sure to drive much future research and invention.
