Technology Development Which are Expected to be Achieved by 2015.
The world’s first zero-carbon, sustainable city in the form of Masdar City will be initially completed just outside of Abu Dhabi.
The city will derive power solely from solar and other renewable resources, offer homes to more than 50,000 people.
Personal 3D Printing is currently reserved for those with extremely large bank accounts or equally large understandings about 3D printing; but by 2015, printing in three dimensions (essentially personal manufacturing) will become a common practice in the household and in schools. Current affordable solutions include do-it-yourself kits like Maker bot but in four years it should look more like a compact version of the uPrint. Eventually, this technology could lead to technologies such as nano fabricators and matter replicators–but not for at least a few decades.
