State of the Drone Industry
Software and hardware advances are converging to significantly increase the functionality, utility, and industry implications of commercial drones.
Augmented Humanity: The Future of Health and Performance
Technology is enabling new avenues for human enhancement, which will far surpass the performance-enhancing pharmaceuticals that athletes and militaries have been experimenting with for decades.
Responsible Experimentation with Blockchain
Permissioned systems provide opportunities for established businesses and public entities to begin experimenting with blockchain technology while maintaining control, so that important trade-off decisions can be made deliberately.
Cryptocurrencies Not Blockchain
Cryptocurrencies have been on a tear, growing from USD 20 billion to over USD 600 billion in the past 12 months, creating differing views on optimal investment approaches.
Augmenting Reality and Transforming Industries
AR is a hybrid visualization technology that combines the real world and the digital world. These technologies will transform the nature of skilled labor, as well as the retail and remote work experience.
The Body as an Innovation Platform
Advances in genomics, bioengineering, and health technologies have the potential to enable longevity, facilitate better health throughout the human lifespan, increase food supplies, and enhance performance.
Microprocessors and Line Spacing: The End of an Era
Moore’s law has been an important foundation of modern computing, but is likely to end due to “line spacing” constraints on circuits, absent a leap-ahead technology such as quantum or organic computing.
The Basis for Decisions in a High-Tech World
Leaders need to understand advanced modeling and simulation technology, as it forms the basis for many key decisions in business and government service.
Job Creation and the Robot Apocalypse
The coming “robot apocalypse” can both save and create jobs in the developed world, especially in the United States, which has barely scratched the surface on the application of robotics to manufacturing.
Blockchaining the World
Blockchain can be thought of as a trust mechanism that has the potential to bring new levels of trusted transactions across a variety of industries.
