5 predictions of Vivek Wadhwa

First: Energy will be free in 10 years. Everyone will shift to solar or wind.
My 2 bits: This will take 20 years for developed countries and 30 years for developing countries. But buying a lifetime energy source would be as costly as buying a house nowadays.

Second: Most of the telecom companies will go toast. It means they will go out of business.
My 2 bits: Nothing new in this. Any company which does not change with time and does not adapt to new technology is destined to be toasted. Telcos will be acquired by Internet giants like Google, Facebook. We will see a hybrid company. Google will be able to survive the technological pace if it integrates Internet of Things, Virtual Media, Predictive Analytics, Artificially Intelligent Robotics, brain research and space exploration. It has talent but it depends on the leadership vision and audacity of doing these things.

Third: Phone will become a medical diagnostic tool.
My 2 bits: We need to think two steps further. Doctors as a species will become extinct. They would be limited to conducting complex surgeries. We will see a new generation of technocrat-doctors. They would act as support staff of genius computer scientist or they would be conducting hardcore research of developing tools and software/hardware for conducting hardcore surgeries.

He made two more predictions but they were sort of common day knowledge. I am shocked, how come top managers who try to save every single penny for their company, agrees to pay hundred thousand dollars for this bol-bachchan.
