"The Next Wave of Tech Disruptions"

VIVEK WADHWA VIA BIG THINK

Vivek Wadhwa predicts that virtually every major industry will soon be disrupted by technology innovation. He says "An open-minded and diverse population that readily shares information, encourages experimentation, accepts failure and dispenses with formality and hierarchy is what makes Silicon Valley the successful hub that it is." Wadhwa argues that this decade will be the most innovative in history, predicting that "today’s technology is rapidly catching up to Star Trek" and that in the coming years, 3D printers will make it possible to synthetically produce meat and create an abundance of food, humans will eventually be banned from driving cars, and artificial intelligence will be able to be individual's personal medical assistants. Futurist Vivek Wadhwa predicts change "at a scale which is unimaginable before," thanks to advances in technologies like robotics and 3D printing. "New trillion dollar industries will wipe out out existing trillion dollar industries," he says. "This is the future we’re headed into, for better or for worse."  WATCH NOW THIS VIDEO VIA BIG THINK...
