What science & technology advances will impact your life in next 5 years?

What science and technology advances will most impact your life in the next 5 years & if you could invent one what would it do? I'm a futurist and am interested in different perspectives from around the world on how science and technology will affect our lives, our work, our society, our challenges, our environment and planet. I'm also intersted to hear where you think the greatest unmet needs are and what scientific or technolgical breakthroughs you'd like to see created to address them. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ I personally would like to see inventions mentioned below. Some of them may appear funny or may appear practically impossible but anyway I would love to see these become a reality. 1) Fully functional BCI (Brain Computer Interface) i.e. controlling a PC with mind signals or if possible vice versa. Some interesting things come in mind when I think if it can be possible such as a Brain Area Network, direct connection of brain to google or wikipedia,colaborative use of several brains for problem solving, Brain User Interface, Automated Learning etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain-computer_interface 2) One smart card for everything - credit cards, ATM cards, Driving license, etc. All such information on one single card. 3) Air bike/car.A small affordable bike/car which can travel onland/sea/air. 4) Music generation from musical notes. Scan/Read written musical notes and generate instrumental music from that. 5) At last this one seems to be impossible and funny. If mass can be converted to energy(e = m (c)square), what if we convert humans to light energy and transfer them thorugh wires. Don't know what will happen if energy is lost while doing the transfer.
