KEEP IN MIND
The goal is not to become an expert in the technologies, but to know where the technologies are
headed so you can jump on the wave.
● How to leverage it● How to wrap strategies around it
REMINDER...
“If you go back 500 years, not much changed in a century. Now a lot happens in 6 months. Technology feeds on itself and it gets
faster and faster.”
“In about 40 years the pace of change is going to be so astonishingly quick that you won't be able to follow it unless you
enhance your own intelligence by merging with the intelligent technology we are creating.”
~Ray Kurzweil
OUR JOURNEY
● Life expansion & extension● Artificial intelligence● Human intelligence● 3D printing● Robotics● Space● Biology● Buildings
● Internet everywhere● Blockchain● Next generation
computing● Energy● Autonomous vehicles● Virtual & augmented reality● Drones
THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER
Look at the data.
Contrary to what the news is saying:
● Less violence● Living longer● Living healthier● Higher standard of living
...and it’s only getting better.
Thank you technology.
CLEAN OUT THE BAD STUFF

POPULATION PROBLEM?
Studies have shown that as education rates go up, birth
rates go down.
In addition, as lifespan increases, women are
having children later in life.
And technology continues to turn scarcity into
abundance.

THE GOLDEN AGE OF AI
We’ve hit a tipping point.
Watching AI get smarter is like watching a bullet train.
The moment you see it coming, it’s already blown
past you.
MEDICAL DIAGNOSES
“IBM’s Watson is better at diagnosing cancer than
human doctors.”
wired.co.uk/article/ibm-watson-medical-doctor
ELIMINATING FRICTION
The real value of artificial intelligence is not in replacement,
but in complement.
Smart personal assistants will allow us to adopt new
technologies and changes seamlessly.
CONVERGING YOUR WORLD
“Ford meets Amazon. Automaker to
integrate Echo and Alexa with SYNC,
linking cars to homes [through AI].”
geekwire.com/2016/ford-working-on-amazon-echo-integration-connecting-cars-to-homes
A QUICK NOTE...
There’s plenty of doom and gloom spreadabout the future of AI.
Keep in mind that when general AI gets here, we will be much more intelligent ourselves...
PROGRAMMING GENIUS
The largest gene-sequencing facility in the world (BGI) is searching
for the DNA markers for genius.

BRAIN/CLOUD INTERFACE
Imagine being able pull up “memories” stored in the cloud, or
run a Google search simply by thinking it.
Ray Kurzweil predicts by the early 2030s we will have brain implants
that connect us into the cloud, directly.

DIGITIZING OUR WORLD
● Satellites imaging Earth (0.5 m resolution)● Autonomous cars imaging everything within 100 m● Augmented reality headgear (1 mm resolution)● Drones imaging cities (1 cm resolution)
SELF REPLICATING
80-90% of 3D printer parts and be 3D
printed.
It can replicate itself.
Send one printer to a location and they can create more printers
on site.
NOT JUST FOR TOYS ANYMORE
FAA is approving 3D printed parts for commercial flight.

HUMAN AUGMENTATION
Just like AI, the real value of robotics is not in replacement, but in
complement.
Smart prosthetics will allow us to overcome
limitations and enhance biology.

REINVENTING AN INDUSTRY
Is it a ‘car with a computer’ or a ‘computer on wheels?’
Every major car manufacturer is projecting 2020-2025.
And a few tech giants are jumping into the mix.

CAR AS A SERVICE
Instead of buying a car and asking, “What kind of car do I need for everything?”
We’ll be asking, “What kind of car do I need today?”
