The Future Is Here ...
Position yourself to be the leader in technologies that will change the face of senior living.
1. Are you still selling horses, or are you a Henry Ford? Technology is no longer only for "geeks." It is present in every aspect of our lives.
2. Learn what six technologies will change the face of senior living: sensors and wearable technology, OLED lighting, crowdsourcing and gamification, robots, data mining and artificial intelligence, and 3D printing.
3. Neuroplasticity and the trainable brain.
We are currently caught in a place in time where the apple cart is not only being turned upside down, it is being reimagined. The Internet has created a network of brains not unlike our own that can learn from each other in real time and share breakthroughs that a previous isolated society could never imagine. This change is global and unstoppable. Now we not only have group learning and thinking but we also have the energy and computing power to do this not just within a government or university but worldwide. Imagine Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Einstein, Tesla, Benjamin Franklin, Edison, Galileo, Newton, Beethoven, Socrates, etc. all being alive today and able to chat in real time to create and solve the world's problems. Add to this Moore's Law of exponential computing power and you start to get a glimpse of what I'm talking about. Now let's go a little further and recognize that pedigree and education are thrown out the window and anyone of any age can participate, not just the chosen few. The simplest point I am trying to make is that technology will change the future face of senior living in the next five years and no one can stop it.
Most of us are completely unaware of advances in technology even though we actively engage in its daily use. Take the automobile for instance; it now embodies 14 of the technologies that I will discuss in this book. For most of us a car is a tool to get us to where we want to go, and provides us with the ability to earn an income, get food and medicine, visit loved ones and have the freedom to explore. However, the car has become so much more than just a transportation tool. Depending on the model and make you buy, a car is now complete with Wi-Fi, sensors, computer systems, memory devices; it is integrated with your personal technology devices like your smart phone; and it has GPS and medical testing (for alcohol). It can entertain, self-park, stop you from rear-ending someone, control your speed, help you navigate, keep your bottom warm or cool, sense if you're falling asleep, and do numerous other things. But with all this technology, it still cannot keep you from getting in a fight with your wife over directions or how you drive.
While we may think the Google car is a far-out idea, in reality it's really very, very close to hitting the masses. Now that self-driving cars are legal in both Las Vegas and Californ
