For the most part, these technologies have been dreamed of centuries ago, but were not articulated in words that we use presently.
I am more interested in the technological advance of more simple devices. When I look at my circuit breaker box, I think, "This is ridiculous." I can easily conceive of a device that digitally disconnects the lines of electrical wires in my house and contains my wireless router and other devices, and it certainly should communicate with my electric utility company to manage my solar array and battery backup. In fact, there is no reason why individual neighborhoods or streets should not have electrical storage units that operate when power is lost due to outages or natural disasters. It's not so much new tech that I am eager to read about as present tech that is used in new and significant ways.
