X-Prize Wants Input on Tech

The concept of the WTN X PRIZES is to utilize the concepts, procedures, technologies and publicity developed X PRIZE Foundation's Ansari X PRIZE competition for space and the global science and technology innovators identification process and community developed by the World Technology Network (WTN) to launch a series of technology prizes seeking to meet the greatest challenges facing humanity in the 21st century.

ATS'ers, here's your chance to talk to a millionaire. What do we want, and when do we want it? I want direct methanol fuel cells and an artificial babe living in my computer.

Wow, do you think the link is long enough?

Big link, big opportunity. BTW, if you visit the little link watch out what you tell to chatterbots- they log input. HAL told me NOT to trust them

I submitted mine. I want an automobile eco-challenge!

I would like an anti-grav car or vehicle that is fusion powered and is fast with built in safety systems for automated travel across the US. Safety systems I was thinking of would be avoidance collision systems with the possibility of using magnetic or electromagnetic fields to prevent collisions between two similiar objects. Maybe a gravity dampening shield to negate all the negative g's too from extreme deceleration. Of course all of this talk sounds too far out there right now I think.

A simpler task would be creating an interactive internet with a variety of female and male voices selectable for reading aloud text messages. Automating computers to respond via voice commands instead of keyboards via intelligent systems would be nice and similiar to the Star Trek or sci fi computers. Having a smart internet that can actually find exactly what you want without finding a million other things would be nice too. Smart programs that organize internet data and web sites into online versions of their paper catalogs would be much easier to use than most current web sites with a few search exceptions.

Another thought, home robots that follow Isaac Asimov law's of robotics and are smart and cheap and able to do home chores.
