Science /technology transfer from original research to day to day use. Is it just me, but if I hear a researcher say they expect a technology to be in use within the next 10 to 15 years, I expect to hear that about it for the rest of my life, and I know that it is something I will never see. On the other hand if a scientist comes on the radio saying that they don't expect it to be commercialised in their lifetime, but their grandchildren may see some benefit from it, I expect it in the shops by next spring...
