(In Your Best Don LaFontaine Voice) In A World That Is Forever Changing... 

One agent is ahead of the curve, but this too, will change? We live in a world where the only constant is change. Well Don Lafontaine, one of the greatest voices ever, whom has voiced well over 5,000 movie trailers and countless TV spots got away with just his voice, but not all of us sound like a God. For the rest of us, we have to get by with our bloody beat up hands and our crazy irrational brains. (well at least that's how I like to imagine it)

A change agent is "someone who alters human capability or organizational systems to achieve a higher degree of output or self actualization." according to toolbox.com. I personally like the think of a change agent as an acting catalyst for change.

"Love Is Three Quarters Curiosity"
To be a change agent one must essentially live in the future. To change for the better, you must always look to the future for the best and brightest ideas and innovations. A change agent is the one that is fueled by passion and is the spark that gets others inspired. Steve Jobs may be one of the most famous of these people. He was always pushing for the best, the most excellent, and would not except anything less than perfect. 
To be on the cutting edge of technology is a tough challenge, technology as a whole is no longer a battle on one front, this battle comes from many directions, mobile devices, web standards, touch screen TVs, Xbox's kinect, iPads, and all trying to go green! We are the minute men of this war. 

Yes, just like this, but without the tights

Newest Technologies 
I am myself a change agent, I was before I knew what a change agent even meant, which means some of the people that will read this will realize that they, as well, are change agents in a sense. When you combine passion with getting the newest and most efficient technologies, or you could substitute technologies with just about anything, for your company or yourself.
Whether you like it or not, the world is run by money, people will pay top-dollar for the shiniest, sleekest, newest things, obviously you want these things. At the moment I am a cock-tail server and it drives me crazy that our computer systems run on old software. I have researched this and found better ones, newer ones, even ones within the budget of what the current one was in. 
I would love to see implemented technologies in my life in the fields of:

• Gesture motions to improve qualities and speed
• HTML5 and CSS3 
• Web Standards being reinvented and implemented
• Smart phones growing to include: windows, TV's, cars, and games (most of this has already started)
• Voice recognition for, well anything. (also for safety reasons with motor vehicles)

Or safety for your smart phone

Looking To The Future
The biggest impact withing the next 5 years will be improvements and tweaks to things that are breaking ground now. The kinect is one of the most popular. Doctors using it mid-surgery for help without having to touch a keyboard is probably one of the greatest accomplishments I have seen with it. 
Within the next 10 years I think is a bit too far off to imagine. There are technologies that have not even been imagined that will be out at that time. Personally I am hoping for time travel or displacement devices. To keep up with the frontline I will be standing, musket in hand, eagerly waiting for the new and boldest to approach and embrace change for the good!
I realize my dreams of space travel or real life portal guns are a bit crazy, but someone has to be! What are some of your hopes for future technologies?
Until next time, your friendly neighborhood dreamer, Nick Stamper
