- DirectorLarry O'ReillyStarsDwight WeistEmerging technologies and their uses are presented. Converting them to electricity, solar and nuclear are only two potential power sources, the latter which need not be used for destruction as the public better knows it. Computers are starting to replace what used to be manual human functions, humans who are only required to maintain and supervise the computers for their function. Warfare has turned to these electronic control systems, as witnessed by the guided missiles which, once set on its target, can reach said target regardless of changes in that target's path. The development of television has far ranging uses beyond home entertainment as it allows monitoring and thus controlling of commercial and industrial functions far from the viewer, including magnifying the images. Advances in recording technology allows playback of both video and/or audio immediately after recording for perpetuity. One of the technologies of the future are video calls. The development of the transistor allows for many of these technologies to function. Many of these future technologies will be conveniences for everyday life. Despite much of the focus being on non-human functions, it still requires human brain power as the driving engine.
