Talk:Science and Technology (1983: Doomsday)

I hereby start to tackle a new theme in the Doomsday ATl. the scientifical and technological background needs some seriouswork and foundation. I need your collective help as this touches a lot of different fields of knowledge. Please keep descriptions realistic (progressslowed by DD, serious loss in lab capacities and demand, new priorities as consequences etc. And please also refrain from introducing science fiction (e.g. suddenly nanotech curig fallout sickness, fusion power workable within 25 years after WW3,just to name a few examples.

But please ::: HAVE FUN!!!! :):):) --Xi&#39;Reney 03:41, 30 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I added the bit on Hawaiian biofuel. I'd assume that with world trade hurt so badly, people would be desperate for new fuel sources, and with the Islands so ful of sugarcane...  Benkarnell 21:45, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Other tecnologies (health and transport)
There must a mention to health and transport. In health perhaps a look at new techniques of emergency medical procedures and public and primary health care. Along with research and treatment of burns, radioactive poisoning, infectious disease (like tuberculosis, malaria and influenza-like illness), malnutrition, food contamination, child mortality, vaccination programs, waste control and AIDS. We must think that there will be at least a generation of children and newborns with major health problems. Areas of importance for, lets say first ten years. Later on, because of the high radioactive contamination, perhaps theres a resurge or important funding in the study of genetics and treatment of genetic abnormalities and mutations. Must be keep in mind has one of the consequences of Doomsday is that most important and technologically advance health facilities and research centers, along with pharmaceutical industries and research is destroyed. On transport, I guess most of the movement of goods and people will be on the sea. So there will a boom on ship design, manufactures and naval technology. Air transports to expensive due to the use of fuel. --JorgeGG 14:22, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
