Can Emerging Technologies Help the Economy?

So I've been quite slow in posting this past week and my apologies to anyone who follows this blog. I am as some would like to say an information hound, I read everything and anything I can get my hands on and latley everything I see surrounds the economy and it's effects on business, technology, fiance and most importantly us the people. We can talk about how we found ourselves in this situation until we are blue in the face but the real question is where do we go from here and how does technology help?

Technology has become our lifeline, it drives our economy and for the most has become a personal obession. What are some emerging technologies that can create new jobs, stimulate the economy and help you the CIO work more efficiently? We need your help in discovering and prospering these new tech companies as they are the future of the economy!
