b6bloke Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 We were just going the massive speed forward of information technology based off a clip someone put on here earlier and it got me thinking. If you were going to think of starting a business in the current climate what would you think would be a good gamble based on the current or potential furure market?

Eames Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I think realistically it will be an existing piece of technology tweaked to become more useful. Eg. Fixed line telephones to "mobile" My bet would be the further integration of personal data onto a single device so for instance a smart phone through "new" near field technology can become a bank card, biometric passport etc. A bit like OBE's idea but less like a pet microchip and more like an iphone. Either that or the introduction of glassess/contacts with HUDs bluetooth linked to a phone/tablet for browsing/sat nav etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumerican Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 There's a youtube video of Dr Michio kaku giving a lecture on the world of tomorrow.
