The next big waves of entrepreneurship
summary
Computing per dollar follows an exponential curve: a $1,000 laptop equals an insect today, a mouse in ~5 years, a human brain in ~10 years and all human brains by 2050; DNA sequencing and synthesis plunge toward cents per sample and DNA 2.0 sells synthesized bases for ~$0.45 each; 72 hours of video hit YouTube every minute, 3 billion people are coming online and the Internet of Things grows to 50 billion devices by 2025; cheap robotics and drones enable ventures like Matternet medical delivery, and factory robot Baxter at $22,000 competes with human labor while LIDAR currently costs ~$75,000.
