8 Bold Predictions For The Future That Will Blow Your Mind
“The future ain’t what it used to be.”
Today, we’re surrounded by pervasive technological and social change. As a result, new trends and innovations happen faster than ever, and most of these trends are unpredictable. That’s why I like to make bold predictions about the future — my best guesses about what might happen based on all the information we have so far. Here are eight predictions.
Prediction 1 — Biotech and Synthetic Biology
Biotech will become the foundation of new therapies.
For decades, drug discovery has been complex, costly, and resource-intensive. Now, biotechnology is opening exciting new paths to drug development that we’ve never thought possible. That includes new types of protein-based drugs for complex diseases, using engineered cells, and even nano-sized drug carriers to deliver the medicine to the right place at the right time.
Synthetic biology will become mainstream.
Synthetic biology will be instrumental in developing new vaccines, drugs, and advanced therapeutics. It’s already making a difference in cancer research, genetic modification of plants, creating vaccines for dangerous viruses like Ebola, and speeding up the development of…
