Situational awareness, scenario prompts and developing your change muscle are key components of strategy development. Contact me if you want to find out more.
Scenario prompts 29 April 2024
The topics are brain computer interfaces, the Borg, DNA storage, fibre batteries for wearables, 3D printing houses, science fiction, quantum computing, rat-mouse hybrid brains and artificial cell with programmable DNA.
Science fiction is becoming science fact (brain interfaces, quantum, hybrids and programmable DNA).
Beyond Neuralink: Meet the other companies developing brain-computer interfaces
https://www.technologyreview.com/2024/04/19/1091505/companies-brain-computer-interfaces/
Companies like Synchron, Paradromics, and Precision Neuroscience are also racing to develop brain implants
The Borg are here to assimilate you through digital telepathy
Humans will no longer just wear digital tech, such as smartwatches and fitbits. They will have it implanted in their brains.
Biologically Engineered DNA Data Storage will be a Layer of the Convergent Exponential Tech Stack
We argue that the bioeconomy will lead all industry sectors into a fascinating (and anything but fear-inducing) future filled with abundance and promise – including DNA-based data storage capabilities.
This electrode material allows 33x more energy storage in wearables
