| Professor Charles Francis Xavier, a.k.a. Professor X. World’s most powerful telepath |
- Mind reading is no longer science fiction: Mind reading is no longer science fiction: Scientists are researching how to link your brain to your devices, such as a computer or a smartphone, so you just need to think about calling someone and it happens. Charles Xavier’s telepathy is close at hand, using the brain and technology to do countless tasks.

| Sebastian Hiram Shaw has the ability to absorb and then reuse energy. |
- You will be able to power your home with the energy you create yourself: You will make your own energy: Anything that moves has the potential to create energy. Your running shoes, your bicycle and even the water flowing through your pipes can create energy. Like Shaw, we will be able to take the energy that we are already creating(the stuff that we aren’t yet using, like when we ride a bike…), “absorb it” and USE IT.

| Raven Darkhölme, a.k.a. Mystique. Her power is Shape Shifting. The power of an ever-changing identity |
- You will never need a password again: You will not need a password: Your biological makeup is the key to your individual identity, and soon, it will become the key to safeguarding it. Although Mystique can shape-shift, she has her own true, abnormal, personal identity. We all do! We can use ourselves as passwords!

| Dr. Henry Philip “Hank” McCoy. The Beast. Original x-man scientist. Mixing science/technology & humans. |
- The digital divide will cease to exist: the digital divide will cease to exist: In five years, the gap between information haves and have-nots will narrow considerably due to advances in mobile technology. The Beast is a hybrid of science, nature, and technology. He uses science and technology to enhance human life. This is the way that our world is changing. I the veil that divides the two is exponentially disappearing.

| Darwin. Armando Muñoz. Constant reactive evolution. |
- Junk mail will become priority mail: Junk mail will become priority mail: Think about how often we’re flooded with advertisements we consider to be irrelevant or unwanted – it doesn’t have to be that way anymore. Like Darwin, our technology is forever evolving. Ever Changing and getting more Intelligent as well as personalized.
Below is a video explaining a bit more about how IBM sees these changes already starting.

“We salute the veterans and survivors of Pearl Harbor who inspire us still. Despite overwhelming odds, they fought back heroically, inspiring our nation and putting us on the path to victory. They are members of that Greatest Generation who overcame the Depression, crossed oceans and stormed the beaches to defeat fascism, and turned adversaries into our closest allies. When the guns fell silent, they came home, went to school on the G.I. Bill, and built the largest middle class in history and the strongest economy in the world. They remind us that no challenge is too great when Americans stand as one. All of us owe these men and women a profound debt of gratitude for the freedoms and standard of living we enjoy today.
On this National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, we also reaffirm our commitment to carrying on their work — to keeping the country we love strong, free and prosperous. And as today’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan come to an end and we welcome home our 9/11 Generation, we resolve to always take care of our troops, veterans and military families as well as they’ve taken care of us. On this solemn anniversary, there can be no higher tribute to the Americans who served and sacrificed seventy years ago today.”
-Barack Obama 2011

A new rover will be sent to mars some time this month and will arrive some time in the summer of 2012! It’s name is Curiosity. It will pick up where the last generation rover, Spirit and Opportunity, left off. It’s said to be close to the size of a car! Good luck Curiosity!
