The Next Big Thing

Everything in the world of technology seems to move so fast today. Whenever something new and exciting comes out, we may be interested or impressed, but nothing seems to compare to the life changing shock and awe that the world experienced with the introduction of the internet in the 90s. Even amazing breakthroughs such as the Large Hadron Collider don't generate as much hype in the world as they really should. In this day and age we want information as fast as possible at all times, and it's almost as if we are numb to other up and coming scientific advancements.

What will be the next big thing? What will change the way we live like the internet did not so long ago? It could be so many different things: Renewable resource discovery, new ways of transportation, communication, medical advancements, etc. The possibilities aren't endless, but they're pretty close. What will our next life changing event be? Alien contact seems too far fetched, but it shouldn't be ruled out. Maybe 2012 will contain the next big thing, perhaps it will be the end of us all. Science is a possibility, magic is a myth, but the impossible is still very possible.
