The next big tech will be in symbiotics, connecting internal and external networks…
… with consequence in health, commerce, energy, and social interaction…
… all interlinked and tied to countless other areas of economics, governance and culture.
Early primitive examples (that only set the stage) include the Apple Watch and Fitbit, AirPods, Rift VR device, the retail checkout counter in the works…
In different ways these all contain a new degree of human integration with the digital network tech – which started with the smartphone and the social app – gradually upscaled to deeper and more permanently linked and portable solutions.
Outside of the venture field, always nascent, the usual suspects are best positioned to participate and lead: Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, and the wildcard of a Tesla car thrown in, always up to something.
Among this group (and others globally), two seem most naturally poised to lead. They have been closest to and understood the person better than the others, which are more generally utilitarian in nature.
And these are the two from where it all began, the smartphone and the social app.
