3. KEEP IN MIND
The goal is not to become an expert in the
technologies, but to know where the technologies are
headed so you can jump on the wave.
● How to leverage it
● How to wrap strategies around it
4. REMINDER...
“If you go back 500 years, not much changed in a century. Now a
lot happens in 6 months. Technology feeds on itself and it gets
faster and faster.”
“In about 40 years the pace of change is going to be so
astonishingly quick that you won't be able to follow it unless you
enhance your own intelligence by merging with the intelligent
technology we are creating.”
~Ray Kurzweil

6. THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER
Look at the data.
Contrary to what the news is
saying:
● Less violence
● Living longer
● Living healthier
● Higher standard of living
...and it’s only getting better.
Thank you technology.
12. POPULATION PROBLEM?
Studies have shown that as
education rates go up, birth
rates go down.
In addition, as lifespan
increases, women are
having children later in life.
And technology continues
to turn scarcity into
abundance.

14. THE GOLDEN AGE OF AI
We’ve hit a tipping point.
Watching AI get smarter is
like watching a bullet train.
The moment you see it
coming, it’s already blown
past you.
17. MEDICAL DIAGNOSES
“IBM’s Watson is better at
diagnosing cancer than
human doctors.”
wired.co.uk/article/ibm-watson-medical-doctor
18. ELIMINATING FRICTION
The real value of artificial
intelligence is not in replacement,
but in complement.
Smart personal assistants will
allow us to adopt new
technologies and changes
seamlessly.
19. CONVERGING YOUR WORLD
“Ford meets Amazon.
Automaker to
integrate Echo and
Alexa with SYNC,
linking cars to homes
[through AI].”
geekwire.com/2016/ford-working-on-amazon-echo-integration-connecting-cars-to-homes
20. A QUICK NOTE...
There’s plenty of doom and gloom spread
about the future of AI.
Keep in mind that when general AI gets here, we will
be much more intelligent ourselves...
22. PROGRAMMING GENIUS
The largest
gene-sequencing facility in
the world (BGI) is searching
for the DNA markers for
genius.

23. BRAIN/CLOUD INTERFACE
Imagine being able pull up
“memories” stored in the cloud, or
run a Google search simply by
thinking it.
Ray Kurzweil predicts by the early
2030s we will have brain implants
that connect us into the cloud,
directly.

27. SELF REPLICATING
80-90% of 3D printer
parts and be 3D
printed.
It can replicate itself.
Send one printer to a
location and they can
create more printers
on site.
28. NOT JUST FOR TOYS ANYMORE
FAA is approving 3D printed
parts for commercial flight.

29. PRINT THE PAST
Want your own Stradivarious?
Print it.

36. ROBOT OLYMPICS
“Government officials [in
Dubai] said the three-day
event, officially dubbed
“World Future Sports
Games,” will be held every
two years and that it will
work to build sports leagues
for robots and other future
machine thingies around the
world.”

37. SOFT ROBOTS
“Yet another revolution
in how humans interact
with machines.”
news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2016/08/the-first-autonomous-entirely-soft-robot
39. HUMAN AUGMENTATION
Just like AI, the real value
of robotics is not in
replacement, but in
complement.
Smart prosthetics will
allow us to overcome
limitations and enhance
biology.

40. SPORTS TRAINING ROBOTS
“The 150-pound dummies can
be controlled by coaches, who

54. FACEBOOK DRONES
“Soaring above 60,000 ft., the
Aquila unmanned aircraft will
float almost effortlessly, while
its solar cells and
super-efficient motors let it
stay airborne for months,
delivering internet to some of
the most remote areas on
earth.”

63. SOLAR ENERGY
Getting cheaper and cheaper.
“Within 15 years we'll be able to
meet all of our energy needs from
solar. And at that point, we will be
using one part in 10,000 of the
sunlight that falls on the Earth.”
~Ray Kurzweil
65. REINVENTING AN INDUSTRY
Is it a ‘car with a computer’ or
a ‘computer on wheels?’
Every major car manufacturer
is projecting 2020-2025.
And a few tech giants are
jumping into the mix.

68. CAR AS A SERVICE
Instead of buying a car and asking, “What kind of car
do I need for everything?”
We’ll be asking, “What kind of car do I need today?”
