- What are the most amazing technologies just around the corner? From flying cars to machines that can read your mind, join me as we explore 15 amazing new technologies that you need to watch out for in the coming year.
See my video on the top technology trends which I'm investing in as a Silicon Valley venture capitalist: • 10 Technology Trends t...
I’ll cover technologies such as wearables, flying cars, evtols, breath sensors, direct air capture, solar geoengineering, cleantech, vertical farming, container ship sails, quantum computing, virtual influencers, brain interfaces, artificial meat, delivery drones, 3D printed houses, space tourism, reversing aging and more
Movies and TV shows have long captivated us with the dream of flying cars. But flying taxis are actually getting closer to reality, which would free us from traffic on the ground and change how we commute. These vehicles can takeoff and land vertically year with the aim of getting their aircraft certified for commercial use. If these companies take off, the long awaited dream of everyday travel in the air will finally take flight.
Our computers have gotten exponentially more powerful and faster since they were first invented. In fact, the pace of improvement was so predictable, they followed what’s called Moore’s law - which stated the number of transistors in a circuit board would double every 2 years. But the improvements have slowed in recent years as the size of circuitboard components has reached their physical limits, becoming no bigger than an atom. Now, technology companies are harnessing the properties of quantum physics to build a new kind of computer that smashes through these physical limits. In fact, China has a quantum computer prototype that is 1 million times more powerful than the world’s best conventional computers, and can calculate a complex algorithm in one millisecond that would take the world's most powerful computers 30 trillion years to complete. This would have uses in cryptography and blockchain, executing sophisticated trading strategies, and in the intense computations needed in biochemistry. One measure of a quantum computer’s capability is the number of qubits. The prototype built by the Chinese has 66 qubits. IBM hopes to hit 433 qubits in the next year and 1,000 the year after. But when will these machines actually be commercialized? These machines have a fatal flaw today - the quantum states required last for just a fraction of a second, and they require a supercooled environment. This is a multi-year journey to fix, but in the meantime we could see leaps forward in the underlying technology as it nears a commercial reality.
This year, Elon Musk tweeted a macaque monkey was “literally playing a video game telepathically using a brain chip” (find tweet). His company, Neuralink, had implanted two tiny sets of electrodes into the monkey’s brain. Signals from these electrodes, transmitted wirelessly to a nearby computer, allowed the monkey to move the on-screen paddle in a game of Pong using thought alone. This year, Neuralink hopes to bring its device to humans and enable people who are paralysed to operate a computer with their minds. While it sounds extreme to implant chips into your brain, there is promise that less invasive devices could make it to market as well.
Consumers have come to expect next day and same day delivery for millions of products they order. Technologists have flagged drones as the key to make near instantaneous delivery possible to everyone within 30 minutes. Zipline has already been delivering high value medical supplies to rural areas for years. Startup Volansi has been delivering high value components for companies and the military on long haul routes. Although Amazon seems to have gone radio silent, Wing, a company within Google, has been testing deliveries worldwide, with plans to launch its mall-to-home delivery service later this year. While Delivery drones are taking longer than expected to get off the ground, expect to see continued investment here as eCommerce demand continues to explode.
3d printers have been used to create instruments, animal prosthetics, and even pizza. But undoubtedly one of the most important and spectacular applications of 3d printers is in constructing buildings. Raw Materials such as concrete and various mixtures of plastics and binders are trucked to a building site and then extruded through the nozzle of a massive 3-D printer. The materials then harden, and layer by layer, the house is printed-either directly on site, or as several pieces in a factory that are then transported and assembled at the final location.

What are the coolest science fiction type technologies you think are just around the corner? These are some of the ones I've been watching, most in the works for awhile, but perhaps will see more progress this coming year than people might think!
As always, great stuff! Thank you!
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!
Fascinating 😯👍
Thank you!
Thanks!
This video is excluding Web 3.0, crypto and Metaverse technologies - which I'll be making more videos about very soon!
^^
Thanks for another great video! Love your content, Wayne. ❤️ Can't get enough of it and always share it with my friends. Keep it up, big fella! 💪
Thank you so much Alexander - You rock!
@@nogatekeepers 😄 Thanks, Wayne! Looking forward to your new videos.
@@alexander3845Working on it....hopefully will be out soon!
