Greetings from a wet (of course) Dublin Airport. Yesterday, I spent an excellent day with the participants of the Design and Crafts accelerator at Trinity College. Paul Hayes shared his vast PR experience, and Cathal Loughane shared his perspective on industrial design. Both were awesome. I am grateful.
Scenario prompts 24 May 2024
The topics are criminal AI, resonators, graphene sensors, epigenetics, citizen development, microcapacitors, bionic eyes, invisible skin sensors, linking your brain to a robot (imagine the possibilities), smart materials, IoT and head swap surgery.
The development in sensors and material science will make everything smart, and IoT-enabled. How will this impact your business?
