Churchill Club Top 10 Tech Trends Debate

I just came from the 13th Annual Report of the Churchill Club Top 10 Tech Trends Debate (). Curt Carlson, CEO of SRI, presented their trends from the podium, which are meant “provocative, plausible, debatable, and that within the next 1-3 years whether they actually will become clear trends.” Then the panelists will discuss it. Speaking is Aneesh Chopra, CTO of the U.S., and with a grin on his left is Paul Saffo, and then Ajay Senkut of Clarium, then mich.Hier SRI 2011 Top 10 tech trends [and my votes]: Trend 1 Age before beauty. The technology is developed and disproportionately by the young-employed. But the boys are getting less. The big market will be elderly. The aging generation have grown up, and is comfortable with, most technology-but not with today’s latest technology products. Technology product designers discover the baby boomer technology comfort zone and it will leverage in the design of new devices. An example today is the Jitterbug phone with a large keypad for easy dialing and powerful speakers for clear sound. The trend is for Baby Boomers to dictate the technology products of the future. [I yes, it is an important and underserved market, but for tech products, they are not the early adopters. The central problem is the age-inspired entrepreneurship. How can we focus the entrepreneurial spirit in this important market?] Trend 2 The doctor is in. Some of our political leaders say that we have “the best health care in the world.” Think what it must be like in the rest of the world! There are many problems, but one is the high cost of provision of expertise. Powered with the development of practical virtual personal assistant, through artificial intelligence and pervasive low-cost sensors online for people all over the world, “the doctor will be.” Instead of the current web paradigm: “fill out this form and we will show you information about what might be ailing you”, will this be true diagnostic support, and in some cases replacing-human doctors. We sent X-rays to India to read, now India is connecting to doctors here for diagnosis in India. We see the idea in websites that now offer online videoconference interaction with a physician. The next step is automation. The trend is toward complete automation: a combination of artificial intelligence, the Internet and very cost-effective medical devices, high-quality diagnosis and patient advice including present to answer questions online to a worldwide audience [NO.. Most doctor check-ups and diagnosis must be performed in person (blood tests, physical examinations, etc). Sensor technology can not completely replace human doctors in the near future. Once we can engage the physical interface (people for now), then the networking and AI capabilities, bringing specialist reactions to locally collected data. The real short-term trend in point-of-care is the adoption of iPads / phones with cloud services like ePocrates and Athenahealth and soon EMRs.] Trend 3 Made for Me Manufacturing is undergoing a revolution. It is technically and economically possible always to provide products that meet the specific needs of the individual are unique to create. For example, a cell phone, the only hardware you need to so it lighter, thinner, more efficiently support the features that you want, much cheaper and easier to use. This level of customization is possible by converging technical advances: new 3D printing technology is well documented, and networked micro-robotics follows. 3D printing as well as applications in jewelry, industrial design and dentistry. While all of us may not be good, product designers, we have different needs, and we know what we want. The trend is toward practical, one-off production of physical goods in widely distributed micro-factories: the ultimate customization of products. The trend is toward practical, one-off production of physical goods in widely distributed micro-factories: the ultimate customization of products [NO.. Personalization is happening just fine on the software level. The UI skins and app code is changeable at zero incremental cost. Code permeates outward into the various vessels we build for them. The iPhone. Soon, the car (eg Tesla Sedan). The electrical circuits (when using an FPGA). This will of course extend to biological code, with DNA synthesis costs plummeting (but that will probably remain centralized in BioFabs for the next 3 years. When it comes to creating user-defined physical things point, the cost and design challenges prototyping , crafts and hacks. too many people have a difficult time in 3D content creation. The problem is the 2D interfaces mouse and screen. could maybe help a multi-touch interface for digital audio, where the polygons to fit, after the form is molded by hand into place.] Trend 4 Pay Me Now. information about our personal behavior and characteristics will be used regularly for commercial purposes, often returning little or no value for us, and sometimes without our knowledge. This knowledge thinking is always an important asset and a key competitive advantage for the companies that collect it. you. Such knowledge and collectors have to convince smarter and more aggressive we share our information with them at your supermarket club card and not with their competitors. If TV advertisers could know who the audience would greatly enhance the value of advertising., the trend is a technology and business models to the recovery of consumers to store large amounts of information that exclusively with service providers. [YES but it is nothing new. makes Amazon more than merchandising product sales margin. And certain companies getting better and better on the acquisition of customer information and personalization offer specifically for these customers. RichRelevance offers this for e-commerce ( journey time 25% of all e-commerce on Black Friday) Over all these operators, the average elevation of personalization of the shopping experience. increase 15% of total sales and 8% increase in the long-term viability But just explicit and transparent to the consumer. about the source of the data, the effectiveness of targeted programs by up to 100% (for example, say: “Since you bought this product and other consumers who bought it also bought this product, other” showed a 100% cent increase in product recommendation effectiveness in numerous A / B tests). social graph is incredibly valuable as a marketing tool.] Trend 5 Rosie, At Last. We have waited a long time for robots to life in and run our homes, like Rosie in the Jetsons’ household It’s happening a little:… robots are finally starting to leave the production floor and in people’s homes, offices and motorways robot can climb walls, fly and run we all know the Roomba for cleaning floors, and now there’s the Verro for your pool., real-time vision and other sensors and affordable precise manipulation, enabling robots to assist in our care, drive our cars and protect our homes and property. We to our view of the robot and the forms they expand to take-thinking robot compliant from a self-loading washer or a self-protecting house., the trend is robots are embedded in our environment, and to understand the benefits of the cloud, to meet our needs and [NO Not in 3 years want it bad, does not make it so, but I just love that Google RoboCar robots are leaving the factory -….. thats where the possibility of newer robots and even humanoid robot starts. There are a lot of factory work still to be automated. thinks Rodney Brooks from MIT, they can be cheaper than the cheapest outsourced work. example, the robots are coming to start the factory and the streets, and then the house .] 6 Social trend, really. The rise of social networks is well documented, but they are not really social networks. They are a mixture of friends, strangers, organizations, Chandler it’s more like walking through ., a raucous crowd in Times Square at night with a group of friends there is a growing need for social networks that reflect the fundamental nature of human relationships: known identities, mutual trust, controlled levels of intimacy and boundaries of shared information the trend. is the rise of true social networks that maintain a genuine, respectful relationships online. [YES. Area Temperature intimacy Facebook is on some startling statistics on fB evidence reuse by leading divorce lawyers (80%) and employment rejections (70% .) There are different approaches to solve this problem. Altly alternative networks with partitioning and control, Jildy the better filtering and automatic segmentation and Path 50 friend limit] Trend 7 In-Your-Face Augmented Reality. With ever-cheaper computation and advances in computer vision technology, augmented reality has always practical, even in portable devices. We are expensive telepresence environments and virtual reality to move beyond games to fully immersive environments, in the office, the factory floor, in medical facilities and new entertainment options. I once an experiment in which a person came into a room and sat down at a desk in front of a large, 3D, high-definition TV screen. A showed the projected image Rooms with a similar desk in front of the screen. Man would put on 3D glasses and then projected a person would enter and sit down at the other table. After talking for 5 to 10 minutes, the projected person would stand up and put out her hand . most of the time, the first person would get up and put her hand in the screen and they had adapted quickly forget that the other person was not in the room. Augmented Reality is not reality., the trend is a enchanted world-The trend is hyper-resolution augmented reality and extremely accurate artificial people and objects that fundamentally improve people’s experience of the world. [NO, are lenticular screens too expensive and 3D glasses are a pain in the cerebral cortex. Augmented Reality with iPhone is great, and pragmatic, but not a top 10 trend IMHO] 8 trend Engineering by Biologen.Biologen and engineers are different types of people when they are working on synthetic biology. We know about genetically modified foods and creatures, such as gold fish in various other colors. Next we’ll biotechnology have circuits and devices. Evolution has adaptive processing and reliability system that much more advanced than anything we have been able to design is created. We will learn how to tap into this natural expertise, designing devices using the mechanisms of biology. We have seen simple biological circuits in the laboratory., the trend is practical, technical artifacts, devices and computers to biology and not only on the basis of silicon . [YES and NO, because it was so badly mangled as a trend. During the next few years these approaches for fuels, chemicals and materials processing will be used, as they are to a 3D fluid medium be to lend. then 2D self-assembling monolayers. Finally chips starting with memory and sensor arrays long before heterogeneous logic. And processes of biology is an inspiration throughout (evolution, self-organization, etc.). Having forecasts along this theme for over a decade, is a gift to be simple, the wording of this one frustrated me] 9 Trend ‘Tis. cyber attacks are becoming more frequent and more effective. Most attacks exploit holes that are inevitable given the really understand the complexity of the software products we use every day. cyber researchers. To avoid these vulnerabilities, some cyber researchers only basic infrastructure and applications, the setbacks of the computer world of two decades ago are beginning to to use. As a simplification, it is shown that an effective approach to avoid his attacks, it will become the guiding principle of software design., the trend is cyber defense through widespread adoption of simple, low-feature software for consumers and businesses. [No. I understand the benefits of openness and heterogeneous city code (to avoid monoculture collapse), but we have long ago the domain of simple left. Yeah, gained Internet transport protocols over simplicity., the presentation layer, not so much . stupid if you want tubes, you need smart edges and smart edges can be hacked Graham Spencer was a big discussion at SFI. The trend towards transport simplicity (eg dumb pipes) and “intelligence in the edges” led to mixing code and data which in turn to all kinds of XSS attacks as introduced. Drive-by download (enabled by XSS) is the most popular vehicle for delivering malware these days.] 10 reverse innovation trend. cellular communication is an amazing pace in developing countries proliferating fall as price points and improved wireless infrastructure. As developing countries overtake the need for physical infrastructure and brokers, with mobile apps at the micro-scale to conduct business and to improve the quality of life, they are innovative new applications. The developing countries is quickly becoming the largest market, we have-for ever seen mobile computing and more, the trend is turning to developing countries to control the flow of innovations. Silicon Valley start to learn more from them about innovative applications than they from us need to learn about the underlying technology. [YES globalization is a megatrend still in the making.’s mobile markets are clearly China, India and Korea, with app layer innovation increasingly originating. Not entirely of course, but we have a lot of to learn the early-adopter economies.]

portion of audience agreement with trends 1-10, by electronic query: 44%, 40%, 46%, 69%, 60%, 80 %, 58%, 51%, 29%, 71% So the audience agreed most with Trend 6 (social privacy) and disagreed most with trend 9 (simple code)., and we have a few laughs as well 
Quite an interesting panel discussion. Thanks for posting the content of the debate, as well as the images.
# 2 is very interesting … but many would argue that nothing direct interaction (and physical examination) replaced with a patient sounds like a fascinating event.
Steve I’m not quite sure I follow part of your answer to # 9: “When you silently wish pipes, you need smart edges and edges Smart can be hacked.” When it’s a given that smart edges can be hacked, why we need it, from a security perspective?
As one of your iAudience, agree I “Yes” for “Trend 1 Age Before Beauty”., The Apple people certainly did a fantastic job to answer their parents’ and grandparents have in technology. Shortly after the iPad release of AARPbulletined ” Apple iPad Field Test: Did Senior Appeal “in his Gemeinde.Wie the younger generation, we think stereotypically, the new technology is for uns.Aber there is always someone who thinks differently in his novel.,” The Old Man and the? Sea, “Ernest Hemingway asked a young Manolin, fishing with the old go wollteSantiago even he has been forbidden by his parents to the old man, and sail was to fish with more successful order younger fishermen. wisdom and insight, becoming, during aging is built.
wonderful post as always … so sorry that I missed this event this year, … in the next year and listen online … it is always interesting to hear the estimate with respect to deadlines … Trend, in a large long-term and not so obvious in the next year …
Fascinating … on # 9: I do not know if simple = dumb, and I do not think that is the answer backwards. Very often (especially in software) a simple, clean design is exactly the same functionality as a complex, adult, winding design, but with far fewer errors and weaknesses haben.Was I think should be done to finally using advanced programming languages and other tools that about 90% of all bugs and vulnerabilities of the design (eg to languages in which buffer overflows can not occur in principle, already eliminated to avoid a large number of attacks). Z. – (I would not say that this is “backwards”, but rather that it is not backward about using these tools Of course, some of these languages have been around for 20-30 years, and were constantly being revised). Example, the Ada language has been designed for high reliability – the structure and syntax of the language already avoids a lot of problems by readable, orthogonal and strongly typed, and the compiler will catch a large number of silly mistakes. If that’s not enough, there are add-ons such as SPARK enable the automated formal verification of critical code. At the moment, especially for aviation, air traffic control, banking and aerospace, where mistakes hundreds of people to kill or create billion dollar losses – but I think it’s time, a similar level of care for server software and other systems are used, the ausgesetzt.auf to external attacks No. 2: “Some say our political leaders that we are” the best system of health care in the world “Think what it must be like in the rest of the world. to be “- Really? I think some politicians say a lot of things … I’m not as familiar with the U.S. medical system, but on reading the news that I did not have the impression that it is the best in the world … ? To # 3: I agree that Rapid Manufacturing will not displace regular production (and definitely not in 3 years), but I think it will be bigger and bigger niches where personalized products will appear. I do not think that this will be in the electronics market, though, as this is not to compete with the regular manufacturing – but I think that it will be printed with personalized features more and more physical / mechanical properties and equipment, 3D. However (and maybe your point), this is driven by software again – mass customization requires user-friendly software interfaces for customers to express what they want – CAD is still tricky things for a few Menschen.Also I think in the short to medium term, there will be a series of product designers to offer the personalization features into their products, and the customer will use those to the product that they want. Probably, even if we had perfect modeling and virtual clay, most people would not really know what they want, the product should look – good design requires a lot of knowledge and creativity.
One Tech Trend missing is , as exemplified by the Mentifex AI spirit JavaScript who can think now, viewable in English. Shameless plug, yes – but true AI is here, the rabbit died, and the cat is out of the bag.
I think everyone is used to multipurpose bat ..
=) On the aging demographic trend # 1, it was a funny moment when Saffo has been argued that good design trumps all and no products needs only the boomers have been designed in mind: Saffo: “Boomers are so excited about phones with big keys like toddlers on training diapers are. “” Or maybe it’s vice versa, “joked Tony Perkins.Ich disagree with Saffo, but we had no time to have further diskutieren.Ich electronic voting data from the audience divided by gender and age. So I looked at Trend 1 There was no difference by gender, but by age, it was a predictable difference is that the older cohorts supports the trend (the majority of people over 60 years old agreed with the trend). Interesting tidbit: Although support percentage increased monotonically with age, there was an exception. People in their thirties were most opposed to the trend, more so than people in their 20s or 40s. The highlight of denial perhaps? =) Some other summaries of the evening: Forbes , Xconomy
haha (both jokes .. that’s how many I found) .. i remembered my mother was once frustrated with a remote control .. and said it is for Monkey .. after my first reaction .. I somehow saw her point .. I would think it is also related personality .. but it looks like the look-up does not think so
🙂
Steve, I love the way you Flickr … But if it goes away and we lose a good idea, this will be a good day sein.Als Boomer (1956, just at the edge) with an innovative 16-year-old son, I like almost all of the comments about # 1 … I think the dirty little secret of the iPad for boomers with poor eyesight is pinching and enlarges the image so easily makes glasses unnecessary. Our eyes are just like our ears are going to boost rock and roll in our earphones too many Jahre.Oft wonder if Apple’s next big thing is walk-in clinics (ala The Apple Store) for boomers with hearing and visual impairment, where they match with trendy (pinchable focus) glasses, hearing aids have also embedded.
Probably many people are frustrated with Facebook. I’m one of them. Goes like LinkedIn: it’s great (my own feelings). I’ve never had a single issue or a feeling of discomfort while using it. Not sure if other people did. It saves time and helps network in many organizations and industries. I have found most people through LinkedIn and met some of them in person and then a couple of very cool events occurred in VC industry. I do not think that LinkedIn with facebook should be combined as for the invasion of privacy. It is interesting for me to hear that most people in the audience and the panel also had some resentment towards Facebook.Ich am referring to the one of the summaries of the event with reference: “Social, really:” The trend is the increase in true social networks that maintain a genuine, respectful relationships online “Is not Facebook and its clones .. you all are green. Saffo says that’s absolutely true that the novelty of the social networks is 3.000 friends absurd. He thinks it is great response to the world of Facebook and the like, the connection can be lost in. It will be cool, will not be on LinkedIn or Facebook. Aneesh says it is the communication in the areas of the economy that needed it trust. Jurvetson says this problem has become so bad, “ambient intimacy,” he exclaims. He says people need not take the piracy violations. (. Self-injury, I think he means) says Royan trend in social networks increases been correctly; look at PayPal, essentially a trust early social network, he says, that kind of thing is much easier to build, real networks and identities we have rooms votes: a sea of Green Electronic guests: 8.0 “.. .
