Convergent Technology

Convergent Technology

1. Exponentially accelerating technology

   • Moore 's Law
     • A technology can improve over time while keeping/reducing costs
   • Law of Accelerating Returns
     • A technology can improve itself using as input the same improved technology
   • Enough regulation?

2. DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES CONVERGING: Quantum computers, artificial intelligence, robotics, nanotechnology, biotechnology, material science, network, sensors, 3-D printing, augmented reality, virtual reality, etc.

3. DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION

   • Society not ready. Unemployment
   • Politicians are ready?
   • Increase Technology GAP (human and economic capital)
   • Institutions and organizations need to be reinvented (education)

4. Transport Options

   • Flying Cars
     • Flying cars ready. Now working on scale
       • Ex. eVOLTS (safety, noise & price)
   • Autonomous cars
     • Importance of data recopilation
       • Car as a service, not as a thing.
         • Alliance between companies (Toyota, Google, Apple, BMW)
   • Hyperoloop (vacuum tubes)
   • The Boring Company
   • Rockets (passenger transport around the world)
     • Elon Musk
   • Avatars
     • No need to move. Robots and sensors
