Here’s how the editors of MIT Technology Review approach
their search for breakthrough technology:
“Our definition of a breakthrough is simple: an advance that
gives people powerful new ways to use technology. It could be an intuitive
design that provides a useful interface (see Smart
Watches) or experimental devices that could allow people who have suffered
brain damage to once again form memories (Memory
Implants). Some could be a key to sustainable economic growth (Additive
Manufacturing) and Supergrids),
while others could change how we communicate (Temporary
Social Media) or think about the unborn (Prenatal
DNA Sequencing). Some are brilliant feats of engineering (Baxter). Others stem from attempts
to rethink longstanding problems in their fields (Deep
Learning and Ultra-Efficient
Solar Power). As a whole, we intend this annual list not only to tell you
which technologies you need to know about, but also to celebrate the creativity
that produced them."
