#Five technologies IBM predicts will be possible in the next 5 years What if a computer could let us feel#the texture of a fabric before we buy clothes online?

it s all within the realm of possibility in the next 5 years, according to IBM s list of technologies it thinks are on the cusp of adoption.

Every year IBM polls its R&d brain trust about what technologies that may have been at the hairy edge before

#IBM fellow and VP of innovation Bernie Meyerson told me recently. This year those closer-to-the-scalp#technologies converge around computers growing ability to handle richer,

So, without further ado, here s IBM s sixth annual 5 in 5 technology picks. 1. Computer with a sense of touch Even people who love shopping online say that it s hard to get a good read on the finished

IBM thinks they also need to hear total sounds#ambient noise, words, music, a lot of inputs to get the full story.

teething, or something more serious. 4. Digitized taste buds IBM s brainiacs think that machines will increasingly be able to taste things#like chocolate

So, how s IBM doing as a sooth sayer? Since I m still waiting for the jet packs we were promised decades ago, I m skeptical about technology predictions,

but IBM s list provides a good starting point to track tech progress and priorities. It s also fun to grade its prognostication skills.

IBM has 4 more years to make good. Taking the longer view, looking at IBM s inaugural list in 2006,

it does better. It was on the money with its call that people would be able to access healthcare remotely.

IBM also predicted real-time speech translation now exemplified by products like Samsung s Galaxy speech translation.

Meyerson admits to some less successful calls#especially one about hydrogen-powered vehicles#but he s pretty happy overall with IBM s effort.

since the days of IBM s first contract in Qatar, because air pollution and congestion are no longer a problem,

Consider that IBM s Watson got a higher score on the American television game of Jeopardy than the best two human players combined.

and IBM moved its tape drive manufacturing division out there, which later led to the founding of storage start-ups Storagetek, Exabyte, and Mcdata.

#IBM's Watson Made Me A Kebabyou've probably heard of Watson IBM's super-intelligent supercomputer that dominated on Jeopardy!

not too long ago. Turns out he's not a bad cook either. At South By Southwest IBM has set up a food truck staffed with chefs from the Institute of Culinary Education who are whipping up (strange uncanny surprisingly tasty) daily recipes dreamed up by the machine.

Here's the background. For about two years IBM has been working on a way to harness Watson's data-driven computing into more creative fields--the kinds of things where unlike a game show there's no one right answer.

The first experiment with that has been in the kitchen. By mining a database of freely available online recipes (as well as recipes from professional chefs

Constructed by IBM the 120-rack Sequoia supercomputer has a peak performance of 25 petaflops per second

Sequoia based on IBM Bluegene/Q architecture is the first machine to exceed one million computational cores.

Bohrer ran the dataset through a high-resolution atmospheric model that he had developed on OSC's IBM Opteron 1350 Glenn Cluster.

Dave Bartlett, the Vice president of IBM's Smarter Buildings Initiative, recently made predictions for the top five building trends that are going to make a big impact in 2012,

For example, IBM is involved in a project in Boston's Backbay to help the neighborhood implement smart grid technology that electronically monitors

According to Bartlett, this system helped IBM identify carbon in unexpected places like in methane leaks from utilities.

IBM â¢s campus in Rochester, Minnesota has implemented this system of transparency. The buildings there take up a massive 3. 2 million square feet,

and IBM takes real time data from over 300,000 data points, combining the results help make the campus as efficient as possible,

Sensor technology, that is coming from the physical infrastructure (like that used on the IBM campus),

Bartlett said that IBM has found that people want to be involved in the improvement of their communities,

This method was implemented on IBM's campus, following a new sustainability mandate. I think that it is said really cool

IBM has been working with New york city a city whose buildings are much more responsible for green house gasses than many other cities due to its density,

The goal, with the help of IBM's carbon intelligence software is to reduce New york city's greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent by 2017.

A capitalist's view on water conservation (or, why a price on water is impractical) Laura Shenkar,

Technology companies large and small, from IT industry heavyweights such as Google, IBM, General electric and Dell to startups, operate in the market.

IBM analytics technology helps Sun World use drip irrigation to decrease its water usage by 8. 5%.That difference is readily apparent in a new agribusiness case study that was brought to my attention by the IBM mid-market group.

according to IBM and Sun World. Fuel usage has also been cut by 20 percent. The sales team can also use Sun World's data in conjunction with industry buying trends to figure out the best timing for campaigns.

Sun World worked with an IBM Business Partner Applied Analytix, to craft the solution. Here's his perspective from the IBM press release about the solution:

We've aimed to transform the company culture from a farming business where you'grow

director of business analytics for IBM, says there are typically three things that hold entrepreneurs back from a technology investment like this that could yield results similar to the Sun World example.
