Top tech for 2016
Elias Stein · IEEE Spectrum · 2015
Prediction is hard, as the Danish proverb goes, especially about the future. So the editors of IEEE Spectrum have hedged our bets this year by including more topics than usual in our January special report on the coming year's top technology. We include subjects encompassing a geographic span from the bottom of the sea to outer space. The scope is similarly broad, ranging from consumer electronics that you might soon buy and use yourself to multimillion-dollar projects that will affect corporations and countries.
