TOP disruptive technology and Thiel opinion

Top-10 technology of future was identified by Future Rating association.
It is rated "critical" technologies, so named because they have the capacity offered by new markets significantly below the size of markets, "close" as a result caused bytheir increased productivity. Their use will make unnecessary a lot of common plants,and thus - eliminating jobs working for them. A classic example of "closing" of technology - technology consolidation of rails that can lead to a threefold decrease indemand for them, and to a corresponding reduction in their release.


One of venture investor having long term vision, Peter Thiel said about tech innovation:
 “Innovation in the world today is somewhere between dire straits and dead … outside of computers and the Internet, we’ve had forty years of stagnation.
The question about a tech innovation slowdown, the remarkable question is really why this question is not at the surface. If you were to take a very simple Socratic method, and start with just what are the common opinions people have, not in Athens but in America, the common opinion is that things are on the wrong track. That their kids, that the next generation, will not be as well off as the current generation. These common opinions, while they may be right or wrong, are completely at odds with the sort of techno-optimism that is so prevalent in these discussions.
