This video coming from Corning, well known maker of glass devices of all sorts, is highly interesting. It shows how glass is getting more key in the tools we use and even though plastic seemed like the material of the future, we all love the design factor obtained by glass in our environment. It is especially interesting to see a relatively traditional industry that puts together a video depicting the future like this.

Based on the popularity of the video, we decided to make a shorter version, focusing on the key message of it's longer brother. Both videos will remain available for your viewing pleasure:

We have just released our newest video, tackling many of the upcoming trends of the next 50 years. Let us know what you think as we plan on making more of these!

Living 100 years in completely healthy conditions will require many developments in healthcare science. Stem Cell is indeed very promising and you probably heard the potential benefits of Stem Cells used to regenerate tissues and help patients to recover from a heart attack for example. If I live pass 100 years old, I will want a good heart but I would also love to have all my teeth to enjoy meals... Dental research is working on the path of using stem cells to regenerate lost and broken teeth. Think about the consequences if you could inject stem cells in your mouth and get new teeth instead of needing implants. This article tells you more about where they are standing regarding this advancement.
PS: People sometimes asks us, where do you get your ideas; this one came very simply last night while discussing about Stem Cells with a dentish friend at the hockey arena.
Fun fact:
While I was at a Gala last November with a few executives, we were discussing living past a 100 years old and one VP told me:
- Funny that you mention living a 100 years old.
- Why?
- Well, I just celebrated my 50th birthday on Saturday November 20th and at my party, I told all the ones who attended that I would see them on Saturday November 20th 2060. I checked the calendar and in 2060, my 100th birthday will indeed be on a Saturday. Rejean, I really believe I will live up to a 100 years old.

We are going through major breakthrough in healthcare science and definitively in the direction towards living 100 years and more. Based on the information below that we have assembled for you, 5Deka is predicting that soon, humans will start going to see doctor for periodic preventive maintenance, similar as you go to the nearest car dealership and change your oil or tires periodically on your car. Humans will go to hospital and ask to get an injection of stem cells to prevent heart disease for example, even if they have no symptoms of the disease. This will change drastically the healthcare industry. You will see clients, going to private clinics and asking for injection of stem cells in different organs while they are still in perfect health, just because they want to live longer or because their parents had a heart attack at 60 and they would want to prevent it. Barak Obama administration is fully supporting Stem Cells research as you know, and they want the US to be a world leader in that sector. Check this video wanted to have USA as leader in the world for that sector of science.
This week of December 6th 2010, the father of a colleague who is 72, had a successful quadruple bypass, and was also a test patient for Stem Cells injection. Discussing that fact with another friend, I discovered another patient who had a heart attack recently at the age of 56. He survived it and got a Stem cells injection. Doctors were apparently amazed by the recovery of the patient's heart post injection.
5Deka foresees in the next decade or so, the days of preventive human maintenance are coming, once we get proof of successful repair cases around the world using stem cells for different diseases. Therefore this article is fully supporting our vision of the Young Centenarian Age.
Below is a YouTube video talking about Stem Cells novel approach in Heart Attack recovery.
