[...] „Puterea oamenilor” va deveni realitate. „Puterea oamenilor” în sensul de energia generată de noi și nu sintagma aia belicoasă „Power to the People” din discursurile sforăitoare ale politicienilor. Ultimele descoperiri în tehnologie ne vor permite să capturăm energia kinetică generată (în prezent risipită) din timpul mersului, jogging-ului, mersului cu bicicleta sau a curgerii apei prin conducte (huh???). O bicicletă încărcând un iPhone? Nu e nimic în neregulă cu afirmația asta numai că eu sunt de părere că vor trece mai mult de 5 ani până când va deveni ubicuitate. Deocamdată avem o bicicletă controlată de un iPhone. Not bad. [...]

Everything in this video is already tried and tested, unless they can come out with one with proof that it works. It’s just another ad advertising n imposing old ideas with a superficial touch to make it look appealing. The mind-reading concept looks scalable though.

baahhh…baahhh. Got to be one of the stupidest things I have had to sit through ever. Tesla had free energy in the early 1900′s (not the Tesla Coil idiot), Security is oppression, they already control our minds. WTF people.

This is more like an ad to show that IBM did not completely lose track of what’t going on. But they want to make you believe it’s their creation.
Passive houses without any need for external input are in use today in Germany, and not developped by IBM. The use of tidal energy is researched and put to use for quite some time, and not invented by IBM either.
Sorry to say, but this video is not about predicting anything, but about advertizing IBM.

They don’t seem to identify that a miniature set of accelorometers at the 7 NM gate width they use for their teraflop processors of graphene linked together and imbedded in a simple cloth could generate a fair supply of AC current off the slightest twitch …. Or that same processors controling nano versions of the Swiss self replicating group aware bots could form an exoskeleton that could excell this world to unimmagined awe and apperently don’t pay attention to other developments nia has been around for ever. And a device to read your brain for your computer is available on newegg for $100 made by ocz a reputable company predicting the past is like an admission of retaration you knew it already by looking at them but they still want to make sure you know… Oh and I read that ocz will discontinue their production is that a slap in the face to IBM or are they just shaking hands by declaring they are abandoning the work product and hence their patent is now public domain?see wickapedia on that if you don’t eliminate the password terminals with the exoskeleton then rebroadcast chips like used on buss passes or work I’d cards will take their place

Ocean wave energy? Sure. But energy from the water in your pipes? Possible, but a fundamental misunderstanding of how energy is transferred.. that would simply cause additional energy to be consumed by the pump or water company.. and a bicycle generator? It assumes that surplus energy from riding a bicycle is more efficient than the industrial sources of energy we see today.. sorry, but I don’t see it. Maybe for iPods or cell phones, but not for indoor lighting.
