Ge would have the most to gain with anti gravity. Ibm the most to gain with Quantum computing.

No one has mentioned this but what about a Robotics company? This could change the face of the world we live in plus help Americans stay obese..(P.S. I am an American Citizen I just have Eye's)

I'll bet that it will be Google Inc. and Apple Computer Inc. Both have niche and appealing products. Extremely capable people and management.

yes, I guess it's very reasonable idea...
Remember movie "I, Robot" ?
it looks for me that it's not a big technological problem to finally create affordable home robot. We have all nessesary parts for it. Computers are getting smaller, less power consumpting and ligher, mechanics itself and motion control electronics also improving ( Segway !!), motors are getting smaller, less power consumpting, ligher and more powerfull. What remains? Artificial intellect? Are u really need it for home robot? robot should be able to bring you favourite beer from bar, clean you closet, bring nessesary food from the shop.... It's not too difficult task for modern computers and optical/RF/MW sensors ...

 

Good point-a half ways decent robotic woman, that didnt nag, fetched beer without complaing etc.
Just might be on the market by then, that would slay any competition, even if they were a million $ a pop.

 

Robotics will be huge. The price of labor is the only reason anything costs anything. Take the labor out of the equation and things would be free, except for the small amount of labor that probably can't be taken out.
