Top 10 EMERGING Technologies of 2015

“Top 10 EMERGING Technologies of 2015” by Bernard Meyerson, Scientific American, March 4, 2015   Technology is the source of the most significant changes we have confronted in the modern world.  This annual list from the World Economic Forum (WEF) offers a view of the anticipated innovations which may well improve lives, transform industries, and affect our environment.  

  1. Fuel-cell vehicles (Zero-emission cars that run on hydrogen)
  2. Next Generation robotics (Human-machine collaboration)
  3. Recyclable thermoset plastics (Cutting landfill waste)
  4. Precise genetic engineering techniques (genetic engineering may become less controversial as it is used to boost the diets and incomes of millions)
  5. Additive manufacturing (making things with 3-D printing)
  6. Emergent Artificial Intelligence (moving towards super intelligent machines)
  7. Distributed Manufacturing (factories of the future)
  8. “Sense and Avoid” drones (collision avoidance and autonomous flying)
  9. Neuromorphic technololgy (Computer chips that mimic the human brain)
  10. Digital genome (Targeted therapies and precision medicine)
