There are so many! We could start with those that can be solved by apps, such as meteorology, maps (pretty sure all dads had a map in their glove compartment), and reminder apps (due to our enormous distracting multitask habit).

We can extend our thought on something like Augment Reality which is not yet available to the common person (unless we are talking about the IKEA app) but we had a massive failure with data privacy in Google Glasses technology that was too early for its time.

Still, it is something that may change faster in the future because today when a plane has a problem in a different country, we need to fly out a specialist. All countries have airports, and all airports have technicians, why can’t we hire a local to fix the plane? Because there are so many specific “local fixes” that you need specific technicians.

Now what we are starting to see is people using augmented reality and still flying technicians to fix those issues. Soon you could use augmented reality to fix the issues, and the plane will be back in the air as fast as it can, which is where it is actually profititable.

It sounds like a cliché but a marriage between Musk and Jobs would be a mix of vision and demand for quality. For me, the hard part would be which part you would take from each and from which era of their life. The simplicity and aesthetics we now demand from each product and service we use, which we captured from the iPhone 2007 release (touch devices were already common but you needed to use it with pens like Palms or HTC) or even the foresight into a massive undertaking on building reusable rockets that can land on their feet. But we cannot ignore that both have one thing in common: they had a brilliant team to help on the day-to-day and that is priceless.

Quantum Teleportation and Genetic Engineering…

First, because it was able to be achieved to a distance of 1400km at a photon level, it’s mind-blowing! I mean it was not that long ago that we started making fire with stones, and as of today we still don’t know how to fix DNA deficiencies in a safe way because the possibilities are endless and it would take a huge wall cabinet to store all the paper needed to print your DNA, but you can move “stuff” instantly 1400kms away and you can manipulate genes to make a salamander grow an arm.  

No, don’t get me wrong. I’m a geek at heart since an early age, I was like most kids, riding a bike, playing the guitar, learning to code at the age of 13. But we can’t forget that we are creatures of habit and that we respond to things that are around us. If our context changes, we adapt to those changes, I mean it would be hard to live without toothpaste, wine and internet, but we adapt to context faster than we think. I’m always connected, but one of the best vacations I had was spending 3 weeks between Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam without connection to the world, it was awesome and experiencing the locals quotidian makes you rethink your priorities in life.

Neuralink... At least the concept. I would say the possibilities are amazing. The leaps we are about to make during this next century are mind-blowing. If we were able to clone our thinking, would we be able to restore it later? Could this be used for inducted coma or major accidents? Could this augment our thinking? Would this be available to the elite, or will this work as a game DLC where we can power up our brains for a short or long amount of time? It’s amazing!

We have singularity in many ways, we are a system integration company with products. We believe in teamwork and missions. We differentiate ourselves from others by fostering foresight in our teams. We may fail but we have a resilience that enables us to learn and mobilize energy towards those goals.

Thinking on Celfocus’ unravelling new technologies popping up day after day, I think we have a great chance to win globally in areas (pardon the cliché) of AI/ML but not broadly. I don’t see us doing Computer Vision Learning in the next couple of years.

I see strong analytics providing business insights and indicators to customers. I also see us positioning on the immersive customer experience, not only fostering digital twins but proving the right time information for the right customer. And then we have all the things we are exploring and defining our right to play like augmented reality.

Can we provide the best experience for our customers with the killer look & feel? Or could we have a right2play on (cliché again) blockchain specially looking at EU regulations and standards coming into play?

I think we have a bright future ahead and we could look at it as an opportunity to foster our creativity.
