The future of everything involves to a great extent the notion of Imagineering. Imagineering is the implementing of creative ideas into practical form. We exist in a time when augmented and virtual realities are no longer a part of science fiction, where flying cars are not just part of a sci-fi movie and where machine learning has helped develop interactive personal computers that have the ability to converse with us. All of this with an exponential growth in computing power and intelligence is propelling us into the future at superfast speeds. We must adopt the concept of “Moonshot Thinking” as well. It says that instead of a mere 10% gain, a moonshot aims for a 10x improvement over what currently exists. The combination of a huge problem, a radical solution to that problem, and the breakthrough technology that just might make that solution possible, is the essence of a moonshot. It is what we need to be able to adapt to this upheaval.
The session ended with a Q&A round and was filled with extensive questions which the speakers answered with great zeal. The discussion left the audience with an eerie feeling of excitement towards what they were about to witness in the coming years and the innovative means that can be employed in order to make a successful transition into the future.
