THE FUTURE IS HERE - James Duez, Rainbird
James Duez will give a talk at the Future of Norfolk 15 conference on the disruption of the past ten years and where technology is heading by 2025. Some of the key technologies that will shape the future include mobile internet, automation of knowledge work, the internet of things, cloud technology, advanced robotics, autonomous vehicles, genomics, energy storage, 3D printing, advanced materials, advanced oil and gas exploration techniques, and increased renewable energy generation.

Editor's Notes
- #4 Sales of smartphones and tablets have grown 6 x since launch of iPhone in 2007
- #5 It’s not just about disease - 100 x Increase in acreage of genetically modified crops, 1996–2012
- #6 They are licensed for testing on UK roads this year as long as they are duel control and a sober driver is behind the wheel.
- #7 Fracking may be contentious but it’s big business.
- #8 Nearly 20 x Growth in solar and wind generation capacity since 2000
- #9 Where we are is staggering when you think about it, but let’s consider where we will be in ten years.
- #10 There are 4.3 billion people remaining to be connected to the Internet, potentially through mobile Internet Currently $1.7 trillion GDP related to the Internet Internet is: evolving rapidly more accessible driving more applications across businesses and the public sector, more efficient delivery of services creating many opportunities to increase workforce productivity [warning sign] In developing economies, the mobile Internet will bring billions more into the connected world.
- #11 Today, a human genome can be sequenced for a few thousand dollars and in a few hours. With the work Optalysys is doing, that might come down to 60 seconds. The next step is synthetic biology—the ability to precisely customise organisms by “writing” DNA Profound impact on medicine, agriculture, biofuels and drug discovery. Consider: 26 million - Annual deaths from cancer, cardiovascular disease, or type 2 diabetes 2.5 billion - People employed in agriculture —————- $6.5 trillion - spent in health-care costs $1.1 trillion - the global value of wheat, rice, maize, soy, and barley
- #12 It is now possible to create cars, trucks, aircraft, and boats that are completely or partly autonomous. From drone aircraft on the battlefield to Google’s self-driving car to fork lifts and mining equipment. Autonomous cars and trucks could enable a revolution in ground transportation—regulatory and public acceptance permitting. Even if not fully adopted… there is value in systems that assist drivers in steering, braking, and collision avoidance The transportation industry is the world’s biggest employer.
- #13 The combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing makes it possible to reach oil and gas deposits that were known to exist but that were not economically accessible Eventually advances could even unlock new types of reserves, including coal-bed methane tight sandstones methane clathrates -potentially ushering in another new energy “revolution.”
- #14 By 2025, only 16% of energy consumption will be renewable.
- #15 You will see that one of the largest areas of disruption is the automation of knowledge work. This has the potential to disrupt the labour force to the tune of 140 million workers. Business that embrace artificial intelligence and other forms of automation will thrive. Those that don’t will struggle.
- #16 Let’s see the list of the top 12 disruptive technologies by impact to the global economy? I have a question for you to ponder on: There is a proliferation of start-ups that are coming for traditional businesses, creating new models and disrupting markets. They can innovate fast - some like Rainbird benefitting from start-up accelerators and the availability of cloud-based technologies - that mean they can be a start-up on a Monday and have the infrastructure of a bank by Friday. How will your business maximise the opportunity to embrace new technology and innovate - to stay ahead over the next ten years?
