Expert Talk: @mchui, @DiAnnEisnor and @BradleyVoytek on technology and the next 5 years

One way of grasping what the future will be like is by talking to the people creating it. This is the central theme for this week’s Expert Talk. We asked Michael Chui (Principal at McKinsey Global Institute leading research on the impact of technology trends), Di-Ann Eisnor (VP Community Geographer running US operations and crafting the cartography of “live mapping” for Israeli crowd-sourced navigation and real-time traffic start-up, Waze) and Brad Voytek (Neuroscientist studying human cognition, neuroplasticity and brain computer interfacing) about what they are most excited about for the next 5 to 10 years. Chui: ‘New waves of new companies and new innovations’. Eisnor: ‘The pervasiveness of sensors’ Voytek: ‘The hidden role that data plays is the most exciting’
