Transformational Technologies
Simply put, this is the concept of basically connecting any device with an on and off switch to the Internet (and/or to each other).
Includes cellphones, coffee makers, washing machines, headphones, lamps, wearable devices and almost anything else you can think of. This also applies to machine components, eg. an airplane jet engine or oil rig drill . Networks are utilized for data collection, monitoring, decision making and process optimization.
Intelligent software systems that can perform knowledge work tasks involving unstructured commands and subtle judgements
Next-Gen Robotics
Increasingly capable robots/cobots with enhanced sensors, dexterity and intelligence used to automate tasks or augment human efforts
Materials designed to have superior characteristics (e.g. strength, weight, conductivity) or functionality.
Additive Manufacturing
3D Printing techniques to create objects by depositing layers of materials based on digital models.
