It cannot be known for certain what will and will not be available in 2050. Speculation suggests at the present rate some fossil fuels will be almost exhausted and we may or may not have fusion power.
Some form of fission will be available as will solar and other renewable sources.

What will shoes look like in 2050?
they will either be glow in the dark or have secret sweet roll compartments. or they may just look like s h i t -_- or they might have dead fish in them. or even a dead lady of the night's finger!
How much of total US electricity production is used by the nuclear power industry for uranium mining fuel fabrication electric generation and waste storage?
Since asking the questions I have had more luck with my research and found a terrific paper directly on point. I knew that as of 1980 three percent of total US electric production (25% of total nuclear electric generation) was used simply to run the country's three nuclear fuel processing labs. So adding in the cost of mining, construction, operation and waste storage had to add significantly to the total power cost. However, the statistics to which I had access were 28 years old. I decided it was time to find something more recent. It is remarkable how little information there is on this point on the internet. You can find a lot of information regarding the carbon footprint of nuclear power. The industry (and certain politicians) want us to believe that nuclear power plants have a much smaller carbon footprint than fossil fuel electric plants. The truth is that nuclear power plants do generate fewer carbon emissions than coal, gas or oil emissions; however, if you take into account the carbon emissions of the entire nuclear cycle (i.e. mining, refining, processing, fabricating & storage of the fuel, and construction, decommissioning and storage of the plant, the carbon footprint is about the same for both the nuclear and the fossil fuel industry). In any event, Nuclear power - The Energy Balance, a report by Jan Willem Storm van Leeuwen, Senior Scientist, Ceedata Consultancy, Chaam, Netherlands, and Philip Smith, and updated as of February 2008, is available at http://www.stormsmith.nl/ This report concludes that after taking into account mining, refining, processing, fabricating, recycling and storing nuclear fuel, constructing, operating, decommissioning and storing nuclear power plants, and the quantity and guality of known and suspected world-wide deposits of uranium ore, that the net electric output of the nuclear cycle is profoundly negative. In particular the report concludes that the industry while marginally positive now, will drop sustantially into the negative between the years 2030 and 2050 as minable uranium deposits decline in quality. (fn. The carbon footprint of the nuclear industry increases in inverse proportion to the quantity and quality of minable uranium deposits. The world's known and suspected supplies of uranium ore are expected to be wholly depleted by 2050 or earlier). Personally, I think the author has made some assumptions that are more favorable to the nuclear industry than is deserved. For example, he assumes every nuclear power plant will have a useful life of 50 years, though not a single reactor has reached that grand old age and several have been retired prematurely (Chernobyl and Three Mile Island are two well known examples. The Enrico Fermi plant in Detroit, less well known than the other two, melted down on it's first day of operation and was encased in concrete. The story is the subject of the book "We Almost Lost Detroit.", so-titled after a quote by one of the emergency service workers, and Gil Scot Heron's song of the same name. But little quibbles aside, the report's unmistakable conclusion is that investment in nuclear energy is a losing proposition, that on balance the nuclear industry CONSUMES more electricity than it produces. To the person who answered "A small proportion," your answer though short and pithy, lacked citation to any sources, provided no background information regarding your own qualifications to make such a statement, or any information concerning the analysis you undertook, or read, to support your answer. I would be happy to see an open debate on this issue, supported by citation to evidence or credible research. This is an important issue of energy policy and there is almost no discussion of it on the internet.
What is the meanings of contiguous memory?
Memory allocation: When a program asks for memory and gets it.Contiguous allocation: When the memory is in one big block, for example memory addresses 1000-2000, as opposed to "fragmented allocation" where the memory comes as several smaller blocks in different places, for example memory addresses 1000-1050, 2050-2125, ...Memory protection: Normally some sort of limitation on who can write to which memory, to reduce the risk that a bug or a virus can damage data or bring down the computer.
What technology will there be in 2050?
The question is extremely broad and the answer can only be speculative. However, based on current technological development, some innovations are very likely. I will focus on some of the cooler ones. 1. A smaller processor and storage medium. Currently we are experimenting with placing tubes within carbon molecules. A mainframe will fit in a mobile device. 2. Improved 3d technology. Think star war's holograms. 3. Brain chips. You heard me brain chips. We can currently install a brain chip the size of an aspirin that allows you to move a mouse cursor. In the future we will be able to do much more. Whether we can avoid cancer is another concern. Basically we will be able to walk up to a digital screen, that will probably be placed in all glass, and be able to exchange information over the web. Brain chips will have the storage and processing power of mainframes and since we are working on the ability to transfer data from our mind to electronics, we may be able to interface directly with computers.
What is the energy revolution?
The Energy Revolution is an effort to have the world move away from tradition 'dirty' sources of energy to cleaner, renewable energy sources. It is believed we can be at almost 100 percent renewable energy by the year 2050.

Why is the US trying to find different sources of energy?
We are going to completely run out of fossil fuels by 2050. That's less then 40 years to find a replacement for gas, a fossil fuel that has become a staple in the daily function of human life.
