Technology has more power than we think. <--- That would be a good topic.

It depends what sort of resource you are looking for. For general information on these technologies, see Wikipedia's articles on wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki and blog: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog\n\nIf you're looking for news or opinions on these, try searching Technorati for relevant tags. See http://www.technorati.com/tag/wiki for example.

Here's something you can do to get your ideas flowing.\n\nWatch an OLD episode of the original Star Trek (the 1960's TV show with Kirk and Spock).\n\nLook at the set and props.  Look familiar?\n\nRemember, these things did not exist as real technology designs until today. At the time, they were speculative. Many of the current technology designers of today used to watch that show.\n\nThen, go read Isaac Asimov stories. Look at the social analysis he does of modern politics, in the science fiction format.\n\nFinally, there are two novels you should read. "Brave New World" and "1984".  What do they show you about modern society?\n\nPeople who are readers are leaders. People who are readers and leaders, with access to speculative fiction, have things to think about that can often guide modern society.

Both.\nThe World as a Village \n  \nBefore we ask "what is technology doing to us," we must first ask "who has \naccess to technology at all?" \n\nIf we could shrink the Earth's population to a village of 100 people, with \nall existing ratios remaining the same, it would look like this: there would \nbe 57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 from the Western Hemisphere (North and \nSouth), and 8 Africans. \n\n   * 70 would be unable to read. \n   * 50 would suffer from malnutrition \n   * One would be near death; one near birth. \n   * Only one would have a college education \n   * No one would own a computer. \n   * 51 would be female, 49 would be male. \n   * 70 would be non-white; 30 white. \n   * 70 would be non-Christian; 30 Christian. \n   * One half of the world's wealth would be in the hands of only 6 people, \n     and all 6 would be citizens of the United States. \n   * 80 would live in substandard housing. \n\nIf the digital revolution really is having an impact on the psychological \nmakeup of the people that it affects, then we must remember that it only \naffects an infinite small fraction of the world's human beings.

Technology is certainly going to help - for example, there are tests now of fusion power (this doesn't generate as much dangerous radioactive waste that current fission-based nuclear reactors do). But this won't be enough by itself - people need to learn to use less energy, because if we don't reduce the need, there will be a crisis. "Though accounting for only 5 percent of the world's population, Americans consume 26 percent of the world's energy. (American Almanac)"

So the topic is your choice I'm assuming since you did not state your topic. Truthfully I would go with you are passionate about. Poverty in america, The stereotype of the nuclear family, Why sleep is necessary for societt's students, etc. If you need help please contact me, I would be glad to help you.

Blessing.  Certainly there are problems to solve, but those problems will be solved by further technology, not by banning what we already have.  \n\nIt would be possible to provide a long list of the benefits of technology in the modern world, but I will cite a single example:  modern communication technology allows me, a complete stranger, to answer your question.  We never had anything in the past like the information tool we have now in the internet.  No matter how good a library one had available, it would still take a lot of time and know-how to research every question.  Now, it's all here at your fingertips.\n\nAsk any modern physician how many of his patients would have been worse off ten years ago, let alone fifty.  Ask any research scientist what has happened in his field as a result of modern technology.  The world does not stand still, and we cannot make it do so.\n\nRemember, nothing is an unmixed blessing.  Certainly the internet brings its own problems, but so did the technology of the crossbow!

well science & technology has so many things to talk 'bout ,theres no specific thing.......regarding nuclear technology i feel itz a really good move as it causes no pollution ,renewable ,& will help in consrvation of depletable energy resources......we will benifit greatly 4rm it once itz developed to itz full potential......only problem is regarding safety as itz very dangerous if something goes wrong ........but if we are able to find a way 4r this .......then our energy problems will be solved 4rever

My brother-in-law is an electrical engineer and designs ultrasound equipment.  So he combines electrical engineering with the health field.  Maybe you could get into something like that.  \n\nNuclear is very well paid, but the jobs are hard to find.  Because of the sensitivity of nuclear, they are unlikely to ship the jobs oversees.  I think nuclear will be growing in the future in the US, because people are starting to realize that nuclear is actually less polluting than burning fossil fuels.

There are numerous topics you could cover. Here's some topics that you can start with for your speech (they're based on current events):\n\n- Gas Prices: Will they continue to go up or down?\n- Will we travel in Space like we travel in cars in the near future?\n- Will we have a republican in the White house as our next president?\n- Will we have books in the future or will everthing be on computers?\n- Will robots become our new pets?\n- How small will cell phones get?\n- What is the future of music?\n- Will human genetics be able to be changed in the future?\n- Will extraterrestrials ever visit earth?\n- Will the war end in Iraq?\n\nThese questions should help you to flesh out what you want to say. You'll need to do some research on the topics though, but they are broad enough topics to get you started on your speech.\n\nHope that helps!\n\n~JYH
