How about those printed solar panels?

10 Tech Concepts for 2007 (Popular Mechanics via Slashdot)

This was really interesting read and one which I would find at the beginning of every year. New technologies and the level at which they might impact us in the coming year. A couple stand out:

1. Printed Solar Panels : LOW IMPACT Next step is an energy-generating pair of jeans or solar roofing tiles. Nothing but good can come from this.

2. Plasma Arc Gasifiction: LOW IMPACT (2009) Superheated trash with helpful by-products. Bring it. Build on the craters left by the landfills and do it right.

3. Data Clouds: HIGH IMPACT On it. I can see this one being huge for us in the next year. Ubiquitous data is everything. And it has arrived.

What's your most exciting tech for 2007, whether on or off this list?
