We have discussed in the class with our teacher some topics relates to the future, and from these topics we should fine three websites for these topics, then we have to make an argument about we found in those websites.
1) When will the broadband Internet speed/download speed offering reach 1 GBPS (gigabyte per second globally (i.e 51 to 49 % being dominant), where downloading a whole movie (approx 2 Gigs) would happen in 3 seconds at max?
a) http://gigaom.com/2009/02/01/by-2012-koreans-will-get-a-gigabit-per-second-broadband-connection/. (This article talks about that Korea will get 1Gbps Broadband Connections by 2012).
b) http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/147451/study_calls_for_1g_broadband_in_us.html . ( this article about study calls for 1G broadband in US).
c) http://www.cellphonehits.net/1gbps-internet-speed-now-available-in-japan/ . ( this article saying that 1Gbps internet speed new available in Japan).

2) What will the average human lifespan be in the US, in the year 2050?
a) http://www.imminst.org/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=67&t=680&s ( This article talks about Average Human Lifespan, Maximum Human Lifespan, and different things that may help to a make a research on lifespan in the US, in the year 2050.
b) http://www.mentalhelp.net/poc/center_index.php?id=72 (this article talks about Medical Disorders and how do the affect people life).
c) http://www.infed.org/biblio/lifecourse_development.htm (This article talks about lifespan development and lifelong learning).

3) Green energy technologies.
a) http://www.alternative-energy-news.info/150mpg-algae-powered-toyota-prius (this article talks about if we could use algae instead of gasoline in cars.
b) http://www.alternative-energy-news.info/more-efficient-solar-cells-with-carbon-%20nanotubes/ (in this article there are thinking on using carbon instead of silicon which is cheaper and more efficient hopefully).
c) http://www.alternative-energy-news.info/solar-flower-tower/ ( this article talks about thr future solar power in South Israel).

In the second part of the homework we are asked to apply TRIZ in our topic. My topic is transportations in the future. I think is a good example for that is making cars working without spending any gays when they reach like sixty five or seventy mile per second, I think in that speed cars can produce energy by their movement, and that can be used instead of the gas.
Then part B we are asked to pick up ten TRIZ items and apply them to our topic.
1) Local Quality: make something that is uniform, nonuniform. When we make cars produce energy in certain speed that is changing them from uniform to nonuniform.
2) Asymmetry: make something that is symmetric, asymmetric. I think having cars with more number of wheels could help them to produce more energy than having four tires.
3) Segmentation: break something unitary into parts, modules, pieces, etc. in our situation when the car reach the speed that it needs to stop spending gas we could let the part that we do not need to be off.
4) Universality: make one thing do more than one thing. I think we cars could be able to fly in the future.
5) Preliminary action: do something to an object before it is needed. Cars in the future might be able to tell driver if something wrong would happen before it happens.
6) Equipotentiality: compensate for gravity. As I mentioned before cars may be able to fly in the future.
7) Dynamics: make it movable or flexible. Cars can be fixed by themselves, like if there is something wrong in them they get fixed without taking them to a mechanic.
8) Self-service: something serves itself. In the future cars might have programs which can lead them anywhere we want to go.
9) Color changes: change color or transparency of object or environment. We might have cars can get change their colors as we like.
10) Cheap short-lived objects: throw it away afterwards. As I mentioned before that we may need more wheels in order to produce more energy, therefore tires should be cheaper in the future.
