Which Industry Will Be Next Big Thing Just Like Silicon Valley Boom In 90's?

In summary: Renewable energy started getting big deal when the government created a tax credit for people to invest in it.

The competition for humanity can't even steer one car around another.

I think that's an unfair competion. You have a computer with less processing power than the brain of a spider and to win it has to perform better than a human driver.

Yes, that's how things are today, but it won't stay that way forever. There is no reason why eventually robots and artificially intelligent agents won't replace humans altogether.

Only in movies for now and next few centuries.

@OP:
Porn Industry is also good one :). I think manipulating people and their greed, insecurities & fears can/would generate more money than technological products but that is just an opinion.

imo fusion will take a while to take off

quantum computing and quantum cryptography should be booming soon
next gen phones beyond 4G HC-SDMA, using iburst technology is something to look forward to

upcoming console competition - expecting upgrades instead of next gen consoles in the next 5 years.

Spike in computer hardware technology with mutlicore systems, perhaps hyperthreading to begin with then more cores per pc, greater competition between nvidia and ATI - dual sli's will be a thing of the past

there will always be a market for energy and computing

google vs bing - internet search engine competiton
live mail vs gmail

I'm expecting more affordable electric cars soon - the hybrid will be short lived

Probably everyone here is going to end up being dead wrong.

Cap in trade if it passes will only create a temporary renewable energy boom. The burden on the general economy will eventually undermine the specific advantages and actually slow progress in the long term.

I think liquid metal anode solid oxide fuel cells will be the next big thing. http://www.celltechpower.com/technology.htm"
They can burn anything and are potentially much more efficient than large scale coal fired steam turbine generators.

I'll boldly speculate you may see a people with stand-alone off grid electrical power in the next 30-50 years. Eventually piped or trucked fuel (NG, LP or H2 or liquid fuels) will take care of heating and elecrical in homes and businesses.

(And there'll be a helicopter in every garage! ;-)
