just give you a peek into the future a
future where technologies like the
Internet of Things artificial
intelligence 3d printing etc have
completely transformed the way that we
live work in flame right
so what we will do we will quickly take
a look at 10 different industries or
areas and just one or two ideas in each
of these which which are interesting and
so there’s going to be you know kind of
rapid fire which is very quickly going
to go through all of these once again a
quick disclaimer before I start some of
these technologies are very very
futuristic so while there’s a lot of R&D
happening across the world or many of
these it might be a while before they
actually see some kind of adoption and
we has a very very futuristic I mean
what’s coming out in the first half of
2017 ok starting off flying cars yeah so
this is the arrow mobile has been in
production will they’ve started
production of it and it’s actually going
to go on sale in 2017 so I was only half
joking about that whole 2010 thing but
it’s very testing it’s you know it’s a
car that goes on the road if you see a
traffic light going up why don’t you
just fly over it yeah it’s all about
having bangle meters and the second
thing is autonomous vehicles so today
you know all of us have seen and heard
about autonomous vehicles as you know
Google whoo boy everybody’s working in
this but interestingly as of last week
Singapore became the first country to
have self-driving cabs in the public
domain
right so it’s already kind of reached
that stage so it’s not even 2017 next we
are looking at the future of energy
Tesla has brought this power one and the
idea behind it is you generate a lot of
energy from you know at your home with
the solar panels you store all of them
and you use how much you need that are
separate you feed back into the
electricity grid and if you’re actually
feeding energy back then you also get
paid for it now that’s nothing new it’s
been there for quite some time but the
interesting thing is how the
technologies are improving and so today
energy harvesting is becoming a
more efficient as well as every storage
so which means that you know user
generated energy will start to become a
real viable source of revenue for a lot
of people and when I say users user
generated energy I mean talking about
you are walking along the road and you
are actually expanding some energy that
energy is being harvested by some device
in your shoe which actually stores it or
you are driving a car the car is
dissipating a lot of heat yeah but then
you can actually kind of harvest some of
that energy from the engine and then
store it well now what will you do with
all of this energy hopefully you will
start to push it back into one central
location right so that you can then
later use that same energy so what we’re
basically talking about is you what have
data clouds where all your data goes and
sits in the cloud tomorrow you can have
power clouds where the energy that
you’re generating or the energy that
you’re harvesting these small small
triples all come together to become a
really much larger stream of energy that
you will store on your power cloud so
that will be the future of energy and
what happens with you know some of those
energy things now if you are going to be
kind of selling that back to the utility
companies you get paid for it so really
what we’re talking about is energy now
becoming a form of currency and this you
know this this what is happening now
currencies there are new types of
currency is coming about Bitcoin was one
such example and may or may not work but
with with energy you could say that
energy is now the new currency and you
know how much does a t-shirt cost to
joules yeah
so it could go that way or you could
look at as you know processing power is
becoming very important now you know for
a lot of new applications you need
heavy-duty processing part so can
processing part become the new currency
can you look at how many cycles of
processing that you can pay for
something so that’s a new way of looking
at the
the other part is because what’s
happening is when you’re giving
crowdfunding and peer-to-peer lending
have become such massive forces the
amount of money raised through
crowdfunding has made so many new
products and innovations possible it is
likely that we will be trying to cut out
the middlemen such as banks and all that
going forward unless they improve and
become more for marketplace the future
of industry very interesting stuff
happening in the space now typically
what happens in this long assembly line
if there is a breakdown in one machine
it means that the entire assembly line
comes to a heart harden in the assembly
line means no production which means
lost revenues so what is happening but
if you look at machines they behave in a
very certain way before they break down
either they start to sound different or
they start to overheat or you start to
see that you know the vibrations are a
lot more so these are all indicators
that sensors can pick up very easily and
it can actually tell you that this
machine is likely going to break down in
the next two to three days and once you
have that information what you can do is
instead of waiting for the Machine you
break down the manager of that factory
can actually after warbles call in
mechanic will fix it which me that
machine will never break down this
predictive maintenance before something
breaks down you actually go there you
know there is no break down so you fix
it so that is something that is that’s
made model with the entire industry 4.0
that is coming up and the other part of
it is personal machines building
machines now that’s what you see here of
course what’s have been building cars
for the longest time but will robots
build smarter and better versions of
themselves right so that we are going to
robot knows where it’s lacking and then
it actually starts to build a better
version of itself that’s kind of where
it’s going as well and this is what is
you know 3d printing and all these
making a possible future of engineering
teaching
show friends home do you eat food okay
but was of you okay so with active
culture now what happens is you have
limited amount of space and you didn’t
go to option that space but what if you
wanna increase the productivity of that
land right how about having layers so
this is what it’ll farming if you if you
want to integrate you know 10x you add
that many more layers and suddenly
you’re able to prove all of these crops
in that same piece of land but instead
what is interesting is if you have all
of these you know this is whatever farm
in all happens large windows in very
controlled environment so think of it as
a green house where you can control the
temperature you can control the amount
of light you can control the amount of
moisture or humidity all of those things
so then what is going to happen is and
you know because all of these are
controlled by systems basically they are
now controlled by the software or
software-defined farming and it’s called
how that works says let us take a
planners particular variety of carrots
red seeds and you just tell the system
that this is the variety of carrots that
we’ve put in now the system knows what
is the optimal growth condition for
these carrots so it will automatically
maintain the light the temperature and
you know the moisture putting water at
what time all of those things it will
take care of and then you get another
best foot but tomorrow if you say I
don’t grow these carrots anymore I want
to grow you know pepper you just kind of
a passage and you update the software to
say I am NOT doing pepper and the system
is smart enough to say okay if it’s
pepper the NetID where is these
conditions and it will automatically
switch everything right so now the
software is controlling all of this now
if you think about where this can go
a company like Monsanto that is probably
selling seeds tomorrow will see it along
with a software package or those seeds
yeah so and then you know they will have
new revenue models because they start to
sell subscriptions to the software so
they’re going to keep doing a lot of
research on the software and they will
keep upgrading it so the way that you
buy your antivirus powers will probably
be buying you know anti best crops
anti best software is be okay for those
of you who like looking bad news it
looks like
pidgins those of you would like to watch
results good news because on what are
going to our kitchens so if this is
something called Molly this actually
exists what it does is you can get up
tell it what you want and it will all of
that stuff for you
the interesting part here is once again
you know you can connect this up to the
Internet and so it can just download
recipes from it and so it keeps
improving it keeps becoming smarter it
knows your difference if you like food
cook a certain way with certain amount
of spice it can do all of that stuff for
you that’s also the personalization
that’s coming in right azimuth always
good news again for you guys 3d printed
meat is happening it it suppose to be
very realistic it’s very delicious and
there is no cruelty to animals if the
future of sports we have some very
interesting things happening here what
you see on screen is basically it says
basically your US versus Japan they have
these big fighting watts and they’re
going to set them off against each other
yeah so but that is essentially where
sports is going you have machine against
machine sports as opposed to human
versus human what we’re doing now right
so obviously all of this already
happening we have had Robot Wars you had
your braces but there what’s happening
is they’re still humans who are piloting
all of these machines it but as
artificial intelligence improves you
will have these machines that are smart
and that are learning and that are
observing their opponents and reacting
accordingly
so it makes for very interesting sports
now the same thing you know as audience
then how do the humans enjoy it
right so you have more immersive
experiences for the audience as well the
audience will have you know your virtual
reality kids so then they can get lesser
than to your single drone race you can
actually switch to the drones point of
view and see how it is fly where it’s
flying through as its overtaking another
drone you can start to see all of those
so more immersive experiences including
connected stadiums all of these are on
the packs for us clothes so how many
wear clothes
most of us are not not always okay but
the idea here with clothes is that today
you have a cupboard tomorrow basically
what is going to happen is you will have
a 3d printer and internet connection
that is going to be a new cupboard right
because you can actually store your you
know your measurements in the system and
then the system will actually pick out
some nice designs for you from the
internet and bring it out as you get
ready right so you got a guitar and your
shirt will be ready by the time you come
out so that’s kind of the future of
clothes that’s where it’s going in this
is you know it’s not just you know
putting some design on the clothes but
it’s actually leaving the clothes in
real time so a lot of interesting things
happening there as well and I’ve had you
know functional clothing so much you
might have seen that Indian have easily
seen the launch of a smart shirt in the
markets it will basically its birth from
an electronics turn on the cuff and it
can measure stress level and things like
that so the best also becomes how do
these two things combined so if you’re
3d printing clothes how do you also get
the 3d printer to integrate electronics
into it very interesting spacing or
something to be looked at
now first healthcare healthcare once
again so many things are happening this
entire space implantables why you just
wear something that will measure your
you know why is when you can actually
implant it into your body so which means
that say someone who’s suffering from
diabetes they don’t necessary have to
keep taking blood samples out of the
body to test each time because they’ll
hear the chip inside which is this
streaming that information to your phone
so anything that you want to see your
blood sugar level just you know open up
the app and see it and this is a way of
you know kind of monitoring and maybe do
some kind of control but what’s even
more interesting is gene editing right
you can actually if there are inherited
diseases that you have a greater risk of
you know of it getting activated what
you can do is go and edit those genes
the same way that you did it
program and remove the bumps right so
now we are fixing per continuous body
the final space the final frontier
once again you’ve all heard of water
Elon Musk is looking at and what he’s
trying to do go into mahasin legend
terraform Mars terraforming is basically
kind of changing the surface to suit you
know human habitation we should be able
to grow our food we should get air to
breathe all of those kinds of things
space you know with all of the space
exploration happening there’s so many
things happening the International Space
Station has now started to say parking
space there so that if you are going to
come there you can actually dock tickets
are being sold for 20-25 to go and visit
different planets
so space tourism is becoming such a such
a massive thing so tomorrow if you’re a
good thing about should I go – you know
Australia or should they go to the US
tomorrow is all something or should I
just go to the Sea of Tranquility which
is on the moon right so the space
tourism is also coming up what are very
interesting is happening in that space
so let’s just quickly look at what is
the future of humanity with all of this
technology come in right once you start
connecting a device once you start
building intelligence into these
machines there is a question of who will
become the dominant species is it
machine or does it going to be a human
as it should be a combination right and
that will competition where humans and
machines converge and combine is what is
called a technological singularity we
don’t really know what will happen post
that but that is one of several
possibilities that could happen now even
then if you look at it they do ways that
it can happen right either we as humans
absorb machines which is we get
implantables we get smart prosthetics
all of those all the machines are from
the humans which means that were
uploading a mind for our brain
to the machine now once again it is not
very clear is it uploading your brain or
is it you are mine is it your
consciousness as in your personality but
what is the intelligence what makes us
human if that gets uploaded into a
machine lately it’s a very interesting
one so I personally prefer this second
method where you know we’re dead of
getting absorbed into those machines
because it makes a lot of these
futuristic science fiction type things
possible so Nick for example
teleportation now I have a body here and
I have a machine here and I’m able to
upload right and across the stage I have
another machine where I will download
that entire consciousness into another
body what that is is basically rotation
right now this machine doesn’t need to
be here it can once again be in the US
so now I’m able to teleport from one
place to another without essentially
destroying my body because I can go
there then I can come back and download
it into my body itself so teleportation
is possible now if that any part is not
in the US but it’s what happens is I can
actually transfer the body that’s been a
constant past doc the body there which
does not require oxygen or does not you
know I which can actually withstand the
temperatures of mass so now space travel
suddenly has become a possibility and
then of course once I am able to kind of
upload my grades melanin I will double
my brain into three different which
means I am now cloning right so one of
me is going to be at work one of me is
going to be at form and other me is
going to be
education combined all of these back
into one memory right so you look at
loading immortality because you can just
keep shifting bodies anytime that a body
goes down no problem just switch it into
a new body it’s like you’re formed in
all the data that’s on your phone if
they say that the human body is well so
so many of these you know really
interesting things are happening you can
even make a case for time travel about
you know going towards a black hole and
then coming back and you are probably
the future weather so a lot of
interesting things that could be
possible now the only the only thing
here is we would love for all of this to
happen
but human beings are not yet tracked
being able to upload their brain or the
personality to a machine or to the unit
for that matter it but if you think
about it for machines maybe we’re going
to get there a lot faster today the way
like a building machine is that you know
the software sits separate from the
hardware and the software can actually
be downloaded into different hardware so
that means the missions can actually do
all of these things that I just talked
about immortality cloning space travel
teleportation all of these machines can
do good for us so will they become the
more dominant species only time will
tell
but it looks like 2017 is gonna be a
very interesting year thank you [Applause]
