Bold

Bold shows you that exponential technology has democratized the power to change the world and build wealth, by putting it into everyone’s hands and explains which trends entrepreneurs will most benefit from in the future, how to capitalize on them and which challenges are really bold enough to impact us all.

Have you ever heard of Moore’s law? Gordon Moore was the founder of Intel, and he discovered that computational power seemed to double every 12 months, since by then his company was usually able to place twice as many transistors on a chip of the same size. As it turns out, this exponential transgression has proven itself true over the years, which has lead to exponential growth in technology.

For example, the smartphone you’re holding in your hand right now (or carrying in your pocket), is a million times cheaper than a supercomputer from 1970 – but it’s also 1000 times more powerful.

When technology becomes digital, its potential growth can then be almost infinite, which has democratized the power to change the world. Thanks to the internet and universally available technology, you have the power to build something that might change the world.

Right here, right now. Heck, you could do it from your couch! And in case you need funding, Kickstarter’s got you covered.

The reason I mentioned funding is that while some great businesses have been built with a single domain and some server space, the ones with the highest impact in the future will require investments in technology. Two areas with huge impact and billions of potential dollars in profit Kotler and Diamandis have identified are artificial intelligence (AI) and sensor technology. AI will play a huge role in our lives in the coming decades. Siri is just the beginning. Imagine being able to have an actual conversation with your phone, where it not only responds to logical requests, but can also catch the slight nuances in your voice’s tonality and adds an emotional twist to its answers, and even make jokes. If you want to get an idea of what will be possible in this field, some great movies to watch are Her, I Robot and the Iron Man trilogy. When you hear the word sensor you probably think of military technology or the beeping gates at the doors of a fashion store – but we’re long past that. Right now, sensors in glasses can track how much you drink over a month, let your plants tweet at you when they need water, and track your steps, heartbeat, stress level and sleep. If you removed all sensors from all iPhones worldwide and laid them out on the ground, you could cover half of Manhattan…
