30 Emerging Technologies You Need to Know About



We’ve been writing about investing in emerging technologies now for about 3 years here at Nanalyze. Prior to that, we were discussing one well-hyped emerging technology called “ nanotechnology” in our Nanalyze forums around the time that George Dubyah Bush was making a big deal about nano in 2004. Up until recently, we always liked to refer to the sort of technologies we discuss as “disruptive technologies” which is another way of saying “emerging technologies”. The most commonly used phrase though is that of “emerging technologies” and the University of Sussex even published a 47-page research paper titled “ What is An Emerging Technology?”. We much prefer some of the more concise definitions out there such as the ones seen below:

· “Characterized by radical novelty, relatively fast growth, coherence, prominent impact, and uncertainty and ambiguity” – Wikipedia

· “Are projected to have significant systemic and long-lasting economic, social and political impacts” – Tim Harper

· “A new technology that will substantially alter the business and social environment with a time horizon extending to 5 to 10 years” – The Law Dictionary

We would also add that disruptive technologies often seem to take a page out of a sci-fi novel. They are almost always very interesting to learn about, and many of them sound so cool that you can’t help but want to invest in them because they sound like the next big thing. Every year, the list of disruptive technologies will grow to represent new breakthroughs and shrink to represent technologies that a) didn’t prove to be economically viable and were laid by the wayside or b) were so economically viable that they became mainstream technologies.
