Innovation before breakfast




The Economist is renowned for its insightful views of the ever changing world of Technology. The newspaper has an upcoming ‘Information Technology’ special report and the regular Technology Quarterly special report. 



Last week I had the opportunity to have sneak preview of their Technology Quarterly when @TomStandage Online and Digital Editor presented his view on the Top Ten Technologies to watch. Some are very much in sync with our thinking others are a little wacky and will take more time, all will have profound change on the way we and our clients live their lives.

Ten Technologies To Watch:

1 - Mobile Payments
2 - 3d printing
3 - Driver-less cars
4 - Nano pod sequencing
5 - Phase-change memory
6 - Wireless charging
7 - Drones
8 - Flexible solar lights
9 - Augmented Reality
10 - Private space travel

Do you agree? What got missed out? There were various discussions on desalination and wave technology on the day.  I'm looking at the whole mobile payments and 3d printing areas.
