A third think we'll eventually have 3D televisions in our homes, but more than two fifths doubt anybody will ever market a quantum computer. Majorities believe that microscale robots will be a reality and that computers will soon be able to process speech and writing with almost perfect accuracy. But there's deep skepticism about "cold fusion" and room-temperature superconductors.
