Deep Tech Chapter 1
por Kaki, Praneet Chandra
1. The seven deep technologies over the next decade - pk
1.1. IoT (Internet of Things) includes smart devices such as smart homes and smart watches; physical devices that are connected to the internet (Alexa) - pk
1.2. Autonomous vehicles are self-driving cars/robots such as the new Tesla models in place today - pk
1.3. Autonomous vehicles and commercial space flight are a couple things I see in the Deep tech phase right now. - DK
2. Being open-minded and not ignoring opportunities - pk
2.1. Many people/companies ignore and dismiss new emerging technologies, which costs them fortunes in the long run. It's important to keep up with new advancements and try to implement them with an open mind - pk
3. The Idea of Accessible Science Fiction - SM
3.1. Iron Man was such a successful movie because the science fiction was not over the top and rather accessible from an inventive mindset. There is a link between this movie and Elon Musk as he has built an inventive empire shocking the world with his inventions and ideas. - SM
4. The Winklevoss Twins - SM
4.1. The Winklevoss Twins are a prime example of deep tech pioneers. They saw an opportunity to jump on bitcoin when it was small and it has grown into the biggest cryptocurrency on the planet. They created their own exchange and became billionaires within a decade. - SM
5. Potentially Disruptive - SM
5.1. Deep tech, in its earliest stages can be disruptive and dangerous. It is almost a gamble but a necessary one because you can be left behind to fail. It is important to asses deep tech when it is new and imagine its full potential before letting it go or buying in completely. - SM
6. Blurring the lines - DK
6.1. Companies that are not at all "tech companies" are heavily invested in technology. Google is just an advertisement agency, Facebook is just a media company. They don't sell tech like Intel or AMD, but they are heavily invested in it. -DK
7. What Deep Tech Is - MS
7.1. Deep Tech usually refers to high tech innovation in engineering, or involves significant scientific advancement within a startup business. It is taking the use of basic engineering and technology and taking it to another level. Mainly focuses on solving mankind's problems. - MS
8. Current Deep Tech - DK
8.1. Things that I would consider Deep Tech right now are autonomous vehicles and commercial space flight. It is barely possible right now, completely impossible less than a decade ago, and in the next few years we will see these things explode (in a good way) and change the world. - DK
9. Challenges of Investing In Deep Tech - MS
9.1. It is not clear which new deep tech companies will truly become successful/very profitable. It is unknown which investments will yield the greatest returns. Even though it is very unpredictable, many are investing in these companies because they believe it will be involved heavily as time goes on. - MS
9.1.1. I agree that many of the newly emerging technologies can be unpredictable, but it would be horrifying to miss out on an opportunity, so it really is important to carefully consider newly developed technologies - PK
10. The first Iron man movie in 2008 showed the main character, Tony Stark, with a futuristic lab with many fascinating technologies that seemed unfathomable in real life. Just a few years later, Elon Musk started to create his own futuristic technology such as his company in Space X. This shows how quickly technology is being developed and the conception of reality is changing - PK
11. Otherwise known as "Deep Tech". These are technologies that have the potential to change the world, but aren't quite there yet. They weren't even possible not long ago, and are barely possible now, but in a few years we won't be able to imagine life without it. Like iPhones, Google, etc. - DK
12. technology that is initially undervalued/seeming impossible and eventually becomes so prevalent that it is seemingly necessary for life - pk
13. technology really advances the efficiency and effectiveness of what businesses/companies are able to do. Companies across the globe are implementing technology into their processes (even if their main products are not necessarily tech-based) - pk
14. 'Deep tech' - pk
15. Becoming a "tech company" - pk
16. Economic Impact - SM
17. The Importance of Deep Tech - SM
17.1. We now live in a fully digital age and the main difference between companies are who respond to the change and those who are left behind - SM
17.2. The sale of IoTs are good for both the consumer, producer, environment, and GWP. They make money for the producer and are able to make long time savings for the consumers while benefiting the environment. - SM
18. Tech companies aren't strictly tech companies - DK
18.1. Business that you might consider "tech companies", like Amazon, aren't really tech companies. They just leverage technology really, really well
19. Trough of Disillusionment - DK
20. The Use of Deep Tech - MS
20.1. The use of deep tech is increasing in our everyday lives. It seems as though the use for deep tech becomes more necessary as each year goes on. Examples such as A.I. biotechnology, robotics, drones, blockchain, and everyday electronics are all becoming heavily based on deep tech concepts. - MS
20.1.1. I think the things you mentioned are going to be things that we see either explode and change the world, or flunk and fail. To me that's what it seems Deep Tech is. Wasn't possible yesterday, barely possible today, and has the potential to change the world tomorrow. - DK
