Alacrity

CNN has an article from Business 2.0 listing the 10 technologies to watch in 2004. One of the coolest technologies is the Gecko tape:

"Lizards climb walls using the mechanical adhesive force of millions of tiny hairs on their feet. A synthetic version of those microscopic hairs allows gecko tape, developed at England's University of Manchester, to stick to almost any surface without glue. Applications include gloves that allow a person to climb a glass wall, the ability to move computer chips in a vacuum, and new bandages."

Oh, and if OLEDs really equal affordable flat-panel monitors... I'm so there. Technology is a crazy-amazing thing (when it isn't used for evil- muahahaha).
