@RickiTarr 1/ Outstanding topic for discussion. Let’s not confuse business and technology #innovation. They are only loosely connected. Let’s just focus on tech. Here are some thoughts:
(1) Form factor will be much less important. Displays: Augmented reality, laser retinal painting, electronic contacts. Virtual keyboards, non-contact gesture recognition. Compute: New #microprocessor paradigms (PIM, SOC) and distributed virtual computing will drive down power requirements.
@RickiTarr 2/ So everything gets much smaller. Implants and #neural interfaces are one possible future, but there are many unknowns along that path. Instead, think #wearables. An earring maybe.
(2) #Software (more generally, re-programability) offers plenty of opportunity for #innovation. #Middleware will be key. For example, self-organizing distributed virtual #computing systems will be far more powerful than any standalone device.
@RickiTarr 3/ The tech I described exists today. Will it be productized? Can’t say. Most tech isn’t. My job for many years was to essentially live in the future. Forecast, envision, and run R&D technology programs to make it real. Let your imagination be free and as long as you don’t violate the laws of physics your ideas might become real sooner than you think.
