The document discusses many emerging technologies that are transforming the world in an exponential manner, including artificial intelligence, 3D printing, robotics, space exploration, biotechnology, virtual and augmented reality, drones, renewable energy, autonomous vehicles, and more. It notes that the pace of change is accelerating and that within a few decades many of these technologies will be radically advanced and integrated into our lives and societies in ways that are difficult to predict today. The goal is to help people understand and leverage these emerging waves of technological change.

1. Exploring the technologies that are
transforming our world.
THE LANDSCAPE OF
EXPONENTIAL CHANGE

2. PICK YOUR NEXT WAVE

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

11. CRYONICS
Technology not
moving fast enough
for you?

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.

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].”

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...
