3 predictions- Aug 20, 2011Partially right.“Health care and education, in my view, are next up for fundamental software-based transformation… both are primed for tipping by great new software-centric entrepreneurs.”
Telehealth and edtech exploded post-2020 (Teladoc, Coursera, Duolingo IPOs), but 'fundamental transformation' of US healthcare and K-12 remains uneven.
- Aug 20, 2011Partially right.“The creation of software-powered driverless cars is already under way at Google and the major car companies.”
Waymo (née Google self-driving) now runs paid driverless rides in multiple US cities by 2024-2025, but 'major car companies' have largely retreated (Cruise shutdown).
- Aug 20, 2011Called it.“In the next 10 years, I expect at least five billion people worldwide to own smartphones, giving every individual with such a phone instant access to the full power of the Internet, every moment of every day.”
Smartphone users hit ~5B by 2022 per GSMA Intelligence — landed essentially on schedule.
