The past few decades have seen unprecedented levels of innovation, especially in what Peter Thiel calls the world of “bits,” or software, internet, and mobile technology. According to Thiel, however, there’s a sense that the tech space “could be doing so much more,” especially in what he calls the world of “atoms” or efforts to create things like new forms of energy, medicine, and transport — spaces that tend to be costly and challenging to tackle, but also potentially transformative.

With the enforced self-examination of how we integrate with society, commerce and and our customers, we realise it is "all change". Are we ready for the future?

Game Changers - that is what atoms can be. Atoms are the basic unit of matter and the defining structure of elements. Knowing its secrets in the tech space could do potential transformations that can make life easier in the near future.

Can robotics transform the medical industry? While there are plenty of medicine-focused robotics apps in development, the long-term outlook for their use remains to be seen.

WHY IT MATTERS: will covid crisis accelerate the trend to robots in healthcare? I believe it will. This report provides a good run down of what is on the cutting edge.

With no hand tremor, machines were as good as or better than human surgeons in a test.
Farid Mheir's insight:
Robots have entered the operating room. These ones are performing stitches as well, or better, than humans. Surgeons will see their field impacted by robots in the next few years.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? There is parallel to be made between the rise of autonomous vehicles and surgical robots - any robots for that matter. What sounded impossible a few years ago - a self driving car - has now been made possible and tens of models are driving the roads of California and Nevada, soon others. Robots will not replace doctors anytime soon but you should expect to see them augment their skills and delegate certain less value adding task - such as closing a patient with stitches - to robots very soon.
Anyone working in fields where there are lots of manual, delicate, precise tasks to be performed by humans should put in their strategic plans experiments regarding robots and automation in the coming years.

WHY IT MATTERS: this diagram shows well that the next improvements will come from technologies that impact the real world. We thus will move from a digital transformation to a real world transformation. Am I already obsolete with digital transformation? *sad*
