Imagine for a moment, TV, movies, and computer games in which you could smell, taste, and feel things.

Sony is patenting a new innovation – a device for transmitting SENSORY DATA directly into the human brains. This is a fundamental new patent for which Sony will do wireless broadband entertainment directly to your brain. This is a real today.

Basically, Sony device will fire pulses of ultrasound waves at the viewers head to modify firing patterns in targeted parts of the brain, thus creating ‘SENSORY EXPERIENCES’ ranging from tastes, moving objects and sounds. This could even benefit blind or deaf people to see or hear as well.

This idea can then perhaps extend to Internet web pages. Imagine tasting a pizza before ordering it, all online, real-time basis.

Do you want to be part of such innovation?

Cheers!

You are a CEO of a company. Meeba is your personal digital agent.

At a board meeting, Meeba transmits an video email at your mobile phone via ‘GlobalEye’ Network about one of your managers illicitly making deposits at a bank into a secret account. Meeba contacted the ‘GlobalTransaction’ network and help to check the incoming money source, and found that it is from your company. Meeba request ‘BankoNet’, an online Bank datagrid to stop the account and reports the incident to the GlobalPolice – all in real-time.

See what role you can play in the above, perhaps, extends this:

”Meeba then make a video message to your Manager’s wife saying ‘He will be coming quite late…”

Cheers!

Science lies at the heart of every innovation that has extended life, improved conditions, created a better world. Science exemplifies the human conditions with two side. i.e. Risk or opportunity. It is upto individual on who he can leverage the sides. Today, we already have companies who are pushing the limits e.g.

- Internet already exhibits self-healing powers, like humans. It can diagnose problem, self-conditions, and keep working.

- iRobot presents robots that can linked, communicate via one-mind. Honda’s robots can walk stairs, can work, reason and learn from the environment. Even, recently Honda robot conducts an entire orchestra.

- NASA is building space stations vehicles using nanobio materials that functions as human beings.

- INTERNET 2, the next generation of NET, offers a test mode of advanced multimedia, virtually-reality application with superfast connections.

- Photons are able to move bits of light from one place to another. Next is a teleporting object. Remember the star wars..

The question arises from the arena are:

When the internet achieves self-awareness, will WE be ready?
What happened if Internet’s power transcends HUMAN INTELLIGENCE?

In the past 50 years, there have been more changes in our world than in the previous 2000 years. I forecast that the next 50 years will see even more radical, out-of-the-box changes in our world.

Science is a primary change driver enabling bigger, faster and more radical change than any one has ever imagine.

So, are you the one who will buy the condos? Or the one who will provide the condos?

The current aspect of the workforce which is modeled on physical location, on the job training, dashboard performance etc, will change dramatically due to the increasing changing trends in innovation technologies. In future, we will see people working 100% from their home, with access to all the things required to do the job. In fact, this is already happened.

In near future, we will see highly paid personnel, companies or skillsets in the following visible areas:

- Neuro-Medical Technicians
- Personal Security Technicians (Certified Online Police Officers)
- Quantum Scientists
- Health enhancements specialists.
- Global Headhunters.
- Robotics Therapist
- Space Holidays planners
- Climate forecasters
- Alternative energy developers
- Holographic knowledge enablers
- Surveillance Officer
- Knowledge Advisors.
- Online, On-demand Virtual Assistant.

The ability or inability of a workforce will alter the competitive landscape of global business. Those who see this coming today, who are investing in future-readiness, will establish a competitive advantage.

Well, they say ‘Always LOOK for the SIGNS….’

Cheers!

We are all sitting on a huge digital expansion, where no one would be able to see the start and the end points of the magnitude scale. The innovations which are currently going on and are to be introduced in the near future, will shift the parameters of prosperity. We will see personal wealth creation at a global level, on a scale never seen before. We will have a people not only from US, UK but far remote areas like Russia, to china, India, and other areas taking their share in the global economy.

I believe the biggest change which will transform the internet will come from Asia.

How all this happened will be due to opportunity windows in terms of change/code of conduct in the nature of business in particular industries. e.g.

Energy:
Renewable, clean, and affordable fuels.

Transportation:
Hydrogen enable cars, abilities of individual and companies to go mobile

Education:
Immediate, portable, anywhere, on-demand knowledge sources on a global scale.

Health:
Major advances in medical, bio-technology in helping health enhancements and extension of human life.

Security:
New devices/services to help secure, protect society, data, online privacy and much more.

Material:
Nano-bio-neuro materials that is safer, cleaner, cheaper and smarter to make any products with on-demand. Future computer chips will include nanotech, photonics or DNA.

Communications:
The new ways to connect freely, anywhere, on-demand to people, data and logic. Real-time financial transactions, websites as service, Web beyond web 3.0, Feeds API and more. Quantum encryptions to protect networks, products, and perhaps people. Internet in a box.

The innovations will push the envelope in every part of our life. If current trends help to build 5,000 billionaire, the near future will produce One Billion or more. With this, one needs to watch these industry closely and to participate.

So are you ONE who can apply for this job?

Cheers

Energy is our one of the prime source of a world economy. However, it is not going to last long. There are some fundamental rules that one needs to accept now.

- The era for the cheap oil is over.
- Alternative energy source is not ready to meet global supply and demands
- There is an urgency to invest in alternative energy sources.
- One needs to learn on how to conserve energy.
- There is a tremendous global opportunities in energy markets.

In addition in very near future, you will see:

- Global demands for energy will increase 30%.
- Energy will become a leading and national security issue
- Breakthrough in hydrogen and renewable energy will provide alternative energy sources.

Why I am telling you all this, because, if you have niche in that area, or if you can help the companies to gather data for research or perhaps build a service or application in that area, you will benefit from it a lot more.

A global alternative energy sources MAP might be a good start….

Cheers!

The environment is keep changing, the times are not the same. There are 2 ways to handle it.

#1 – I don’t give a damn about that.
#2 – I accept the CHANGE and look for OPPORTUNITIES.

The current and future scenarios, if left unchecked, could potentially destroy your future. This simple rule can be applied to yourself, your current/upcoming business, wealth, health, happiness and more.

One of the simplest approaches to play is to envision:

”WHAT If this happened?”

You can apply this to any of you business ideas and see, where you stand now and it the future. Strategic planning with an objective approached is always critical in your success. Envision your company how it looks like in one, two, and five or in 2015? Once you have a clearer picture, your targets in future, you then work backward to organize plans, scenarios, resources, and strategies to make this happened. This is a simple question, which can lead to many answers.

Don’t live “off the grid”, but use it.

Cheers

Innovations are the results of collective approach to solve a problem, or improve from a problem, a new way of looking ahead on something. It’s the IDEA that turns into capital, markets, talent and growth.

The years which are ahead of us, will surely bring some of the amazing aspects of what we look at life. Those who do an early adoption, anticipation will surely benefits from it because it will change the nature of markets, customers, work, money, and most importantly YOURSELF.

Based on the collective information available and the trends analyzation, I see the following innovations in near future which will change the whole game.

Next Train – To Mars

Earth no longer the only place known to us, we will see commercial flights available to go from Earth to other planets. Not only that, you may see ‘DHLAnyWhere’ to deliver your package from earth to around the planet.

Please wait..Downloading your Drugs

In the near future, you will see companies offering medicine and drugs to be able to download from a medium perhaps Internet or others. Yes, I mean ‘download here’.

Building new materials via Atoms

Research already undergoing to see what we can accomplished from the simple form of atom structure and to convert them to bring new substance. NASA already build a material to be used in building constructions which can sustained hard environments like strong winds, fire, water etc. Infact, we have machines which can build homes layer by layers based on your own design.

Meet my Robot

HONDA and the similar companies are already building special purpose robots which will help humans and will carry out the task on their behalf completely. IN year 2015, we will see a new group of companies which will emerged and provide commercial version of Robots.

5 Billion People doing Internet commerce

Buying/Selling from Internet would be the common task of people. You will have special “Passports” to help you to shopping and much more.

DNA for Sale

There seems to be a huge research going on to track and crack the DNA, which has result in bringing new avenues both from the innovative and commercial point of views. In near future, you will see specialized DNA for sale online. Would you offer this on your store?
Cybernetic medicines

There will be niche companies who will provide cybernetic health enhancements medicine/solutions for humans and perhaps robots too. We will see revolutions in molecular manufacturing known as “nanotech”.

The innovation that are underway and are about to be deliver will inject a new fusion of technology, economics, global wealth opportunities, and power.

One has to start thinking as a new synthesized idea, product, service or process that has to act as an acceleration of competitive advantages of tomorrow’s world.

Are you one of them?

Cheers!

Nowadays, it is quite easy to be distracted from your ‘target’ in an online world. Email, web browsing, videos and other similar random activities can easily eat up your precious time. So, how can we cut-down these.

Basically, you have to start thinking about TIME into 2 main categories.

ON Activities   - Activities with a clear purpose and target.
OFF Activities - Activities with no purpose.

It is important to know that no matter how busy you are, you can always squeeze more hours out of your daily activities. Find those hidden hours and make the best out of them.

Here are some the quick tips to help you to go from OFF activities to ON Activities.

Tip #1 Set specific time for EMAIL

Set aside a time to check, respond to emails. e.g.

From morning 10:00am - 11:00am and then 5:00pm-6:00pm

to avoid distraction during the day. Also, let your users knows via automatic email reply that you will respond to them within next 24 hours or so. Let’s face it, if someone really needs me URGENTLY they can always phone and call me!

Tip #2 : Set specific time for WEB BROWSING

Do not mix the time of email and web browsing together as this will distract you. Set specific time for browsing, and remember before you start, be clear what you are looking on internet. Use internet to increase you knowledge power and find opportunities.

Tip #3 Prioritize you tasks

Before you begin work each day — whether it’s for your “day” job or your website — write a list of everything you have to accomplish that day, then prioritize the items on the list according to how important they REALLY are.

Next, rewrite the list so the absolute MOST important tasks are at the top of the list. Revisit the list everyday. What I do is to prepare 2 “to-do list”. i.e.

MASTER TO-DO List - Major projects/Tasks that needs to be completed.
DAILY TO-DO List - Daily task of the Master To-Do list, to get Master TO-DO List completed.

Tip #4 Utilize your “stuck time”

There will be time, where you will stuck doing nothing e.g. commuting on a bus or train, or waiting at the line etc.

This is the time, where you can plan for your remaining work on the day, and to visualize how you will be carrying out the daily task etc.

Keep handy with some notepad, pen or some written materials like documents, a quick book etc during these time, so that you can read vs. waiting.

Tip #5  Declare “I am on a ‘TV diet’”

TV is one of the biggest time wasters of all times. Instead spend your time with yourself ( yes, I mean yourself, do some self-discovery, know about yourself, what you like, what you don’t etc.), family, friends etc. Go for a walk in the park etc.

Allow say only ONE hour of maximum time for TV watching each day. Pick your favourite show and enjoy.

As they said TIME IS MONEY, and MONEY IS TIME. Don’t expect dramatic results, but if you keep doing above consistently, you will find yourself moving from OFF activities to ON activities area day by day.
