What will be the next BIG thing?

And don’t say your startup!

My opinion is “micro-chips” in humans.  Data chips.

perpetual motion......?

No, serious things are in progress in this area. It is for sure one of the big things for the future. But is it the next one ? Nobody knows. Big things tend to appear overnight, but after long years of research in the dark. Research is very promising in this area, but still needs time.

Bloom energy was once a promising startup. Converting gas to electricity on premise without the inefficiency of burning it first.

I wonder what happened to them.

I really think Mark Cuban is onto something here as the next big movement.

Initialized by Snapchat.

<p>I'll take your micro-chip a bit further and say artificial intelligence. Rather than curing diseases as a solution to longer life expectancies, we'll become part human, part robot.</p>

noticing a trend in Workplace Productivity and Knowledge Management:

HipChat, Slack, and a number of other workflow productivity platforms are gaining traction in organizations. They have api's galore, offering all kinds of hooks into other systems. Non-technical people are also making use of these platforms.

Bringing modern asset management and data analysis into POSITIVE aspects of government.

What I do is provide city governments with information and management systems for the single largest category of their gigantic real estate assets. What they have now is simply pathetic - pieces of paper and maybe an Excel spreadsheet.

Imagine what could happen if city planners actually had some way to understand what's going on in their own cities - which they do not now.
