7. HMT's 2020 vision is not about a magazine with perfect eyesight, but the predicted trends in technology and practice in the medical world. These predictions are made based off of new trends and innovations that have begun to introduce themselves to the field. 8. HMT is claiming that current medical trends will lead to the items on their list of predictions by 2020. 9.As a medical magazine, it would seem that they have more authority on the subject on medical innovations, but I thought it was already a thing for doctors to wash their hands regularly. 10.

 * Subject: The predicted future of medicine in 2020
 * Occasion: The rapid advance of medical technology, some of which is evolving into creations much like those seen in Star Trek
 * Audience: The medical community, readers of Health Management Technology magazine
 * Purpose: To predict new trends and innovations in the field of health technologies in the near future
 * Speaker: HMT magazine, those with a heads up on new technology and trends in the medical world
 * Tone: Lighthearted, optimistic.

 * "If you leapt into a spatial vortex that transported you back to the year 1966 and saw an episode of the new television series "Star Trek" for the very first time, you'd most likely marvel at the chirping handheld communicators and those trusty tricorders with the beeping and multicolored blinky lights."
 * "Roughly four decades later, you can call, compute, play games and music on your smartphone that can chirp, stream your favorite tune or whatever else piques your ring-tone predilections. In fact, some companies already have produced hand-held devices that come this close to Mr. Spock's trusty diagnostic and medical electronic sidekick."

7. NASA engineer Harold White has recently collaborated with artist Mark Rademaker to create a CGI design of a "warp capable" ship, designed to go faster than the speed of light. His designs are based off of a "loophole" in the theory of relativity, and new calculations on how to exploit this loophole using far less energy than the original 1994 calculations. 8. Warp capable ships may be possible some time in the future and these designs may be what they look like. 9. While no predictions of the future are ever certain, there is an increasing amount of scientific evidence saying that light-speed travel may be possible sometime in the future. 10. > “In late 1942, humanity activated the first nuclear reactor in Chicago generating a whopping half Watt — not enough to power a light bulb,” he said. “However, just under one year later, we activated a ~4MW reactor which is enough to power a small town. Existence proof is important.”

 * Subject: The new designs for a space ship capable of travelling at the speed of light.
 * Occasion: The advent of a mathematically calculated formula allowing for plausible light speed travel.
 * Audience: The science community, especially those in the astrophysical field. The ship design was actually created as an attempt to motivate people to pursue STEM careers.
 * Purpose: To discuss the possibility of light-speed travel, and introduce a ship that could potentially do that.
 * Speaker: The Washington Post; Harold White
 * Tone: Matter of fact in terms of The Washington Post, hopeful/optimistic in terms of Harold White

 * "NASA engineer and physicist Harold White announced a few years ago that he was working on a potentially groundbreaking idea that could allow space travel faster than the speed of light. Yes, like in “Star Trek.”
 * "White and his team at NASA’s Eagleworks Labs are now working to create a “proof of concept” for this idea."
 * "According to White, in an interview with i09, proving that the math can become a reality in the lab is the first and probably most important step in the process:What White is waiting for is existence of proof — what he’s calling a “Chicago Pile” moment — a reference to a great practical example.
