OUTDATED April and May 2016 Presentation Slides
This document discusses emerging technologies from 2012-2016 and their future implications. It describes how mobile device usage surpassed desktops by 2014, and how messaging apps exceeded social media usage. It also discusses advances in biotechnology like a 16-year-old inventing a low-cost 3D printed bioreactor for growing "mini brains" and conducting disease research. Finally, it outlines developments in computing like IBM and Google expanding access to quantum computers through the cloud.

- 6. 2016: Biologists built apiece of software that can program living cells like a computer For the first time, researchers have developed a new kind of software that makes it possible to genetically engineer, or ‘program’, a cell to perform any kind of function, via a simple programming language.
- 7. 7P a ge IBM HAS OFFERED CLOUD ACCESS TO THEIR QUANTUM COMPUTER Quantum computing is still very much in the early research stage, but IBM is hoping to accelerate the progress around it by making a quantum computer available to researchers as a cloud service. IBM is allowing interested parties to access a 5 qubit quantum computer it’s calling IBM Quantum Experience.
- 8. 8P a ge While conventional systems are designed on binary principles (where opening/closing semiconductor gates represents on/off, or 0/1) quantum systems utilize “qubits’ which can be on, off or both on and off. SUPERCOOLED IBM has created its own quantum chip running at 5 qubits. It could take a machine running between 50 and 100 qubits to surpass the capabilities of today’s fastest super computers. 5 QUBITS IBM: Quantum and Watson? The programming language IBM created for this project operates almost like writing music. The programmer can simply drag quantum objects to the “staff” to write a program.
- 9. 9P a ge D:WAVE is Google’s Quantum Computer. The tech giant has been practising M&A as a competitive strategy, as their desktop search market continues to drop. In this instance, they have joined with NASA to create a Quantum Computing Lab (pictured centre). Google have also teamed up with Chrysler America to create a unit that integrates into existing cars for driverless applications. They are currently testing 100 SUV’s.

With augmented reality, you still see the real world – but with some digital embellishments. Microsoft’s prototype augmented reality headset, the HoloLens, doesn’t even use a screen. The device adjusts the scene before you by projecting light directly on to your retina, conjuring virtual objects that Microsoft calls holograms.
- 14. 14P a ge California’s minimum wage hikes are going to force logistics firms with low-paid warehouse workers to invest more heavily in robotic technology. “It will increase the introduction of robotic technology with these companies,” he said. “That’s the conveyor belts and things that pack boxes and move them down the belt. That sort of thing is going to increase, and it’s already been increasing.” John Husing Inland Empire Economist California’s minimum wage increase will add more robotic automation in logistics Boston Dynamics ATLAS

- 17. 17P a ge DIVERSITY A huge revolution is taking place in the technology industry, with women forming an increasing part of leadership and the entire tech workforce – evidenced in part by fast growth in annual events such as the Women in Tech Summit that takes place in several US cities. Bridging the gender gap is a great place to be. Tech holds the reputation of being diverse in its make up across nationalities, but gender remains a concern. True diversity is more than visual however. Real diversity requires difference in thought.

Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality.” WE ARE VERY CREATIVE PEOPLE
