In the next decade,
there will be

These predictions come not from a sci-fi author, but from researchers at
a Siemens R&D unit. (Reuters)
``We are working on many of these future technologies now, and all of these
scenarios are technically possible already,'' Ian Stewart, chief technical officer at Roke Manor Research, said in a statement.
Television news will be revolutionized as bionic reporters provide live images
