  1. Tomorrow’s Technology……It’s Called Singularity John H. Lundin, MBA, PhD John@AskDrJohn.com 408-856-6112 Complexity #2-Begin with the end in mind! All Rights Reserved -- John H. Lundin

  2. What does your life look like +25? • What do the movies think? • How accurate is that view? • What could you do if you received tomorrows newspaper today? • Can we see into the future? • …are you ready for the best vision of the future we have? All Rights Reserved -- John H. Lundin

  3. Purpose • To organize technologies so that they make more sense (SRI and JHL Typology) • To populate the technology typology with current hot technology domains and research on the horizon of tomorrow (Kurzweil’s Singularity) • To motivate your exploration with examples from the populated diagrams • To build an education and career path All Rights Reserved -- John H. Lundin

  4. JHL Technology Typology • Materials Technology • Process Technology • Information Technology Information Technology Design & Specifications Informational Properties & Characteristics Materials Technology Process Technology Solution Functional Properties & Characteristics All Rights Reserved -- John H.

  5. JHL Computing Typology • Hardware: • Physics >> Computer Engineering • Software: • Mathematics >> Computer Science • Solutions: • Input, Process, Output, Feedback, Storage… • Purposeful behavior: • Business, administration, communication, health, activity… • Movement toward Goals and Objectives All Rights Reserved -- John H. Lundin

  6. When Will “Humans Transcend Biology?” • Singularity: “A future period during which the pace of technological change will be so rapid, its impact so deep, that human life will be irreversibly transformed.” • Combination of four technology domains: • Computing • Genetics/Genomics • Nanotechnology • Robotics All Rights Reserved -- John H. Lundin

  14. Where Can I Learn More? • Technological Singularity: General Overview • Tracking technological advances • The Law of Accelerating Returns • Kurzweil’s resources and information • Singularity… the movie All Rights Reserved -- John H. Lundin

  15. Summary • Three different types of technology: materials, process, and information • Three sources of the information technology education: Computer Engineering, Computer Science and Business/Organizational needs • Four simultaneous, hot/high-impact technology domains: computing, genetics/genomics, nanotech, robotics • We are now late in the fourth epoch… • Singularity is the transformation where all the pieces come together and we hit hyperspeed… • You need to pick an education/career/domain that complements and adds value to this inevitable transformation • There are thousands of ecommerce opportunities that are yet to be discovered in these new areas… find one and make your fortune! • …be on the right train for your future • …because this ride will speed up tremendously… before it ever slows down!!
