Why forecasting future technologies is so difficult
Indoctrination – To discourage independent thought
To teach somebody a belief or ideology thoroughly and systematically
especially with the goal of discouraging independent thought or the
acceptance of other opinions.
Vu-Jà-Dé – Think like a traveler – Innovation requires fresh eyes
The dangers of indoctrination & the benefits of Vu-Jà-Dé
The Net-Generation born between 1982 - 1995
The accidental discovery of something pleasant, valuable or useful.
The Net-Generation’s search for serendipity
Innovation & The Net- Generation: in search of serendipity
Video Smoke Detection – The dawning of IP camera convergence Industrial Internet – Machine to Machine Communications Industrial Internet – Emergency Response Analytics
Video Smoke/Flame Detection & Industrial Internet’s Genesis
Fire-Grid Research – develop the model Architecture – 3 layers: data, command & control & models Objective of life safety analytics improve tactical response Mass Notification – Canadian Profile Common Alerting Profile
Life Safety Visualization, Analytics & Mass Notification
HIPS coatings can withstand temperatures of over 1000°C Geopolymers are fire-resistant, blast-resistant and acid-resistant Building Information Management (BIM) tracks polymer fire proofing
Hybrid Inorganic Polymer Systems – “HIPS” Fire Proofing
Extinguishing a flame using sound Electromagnetic and acoustic fire extinguishers
Instant Fire Suppression – Extinguishing “Cold Plasma”
Flames are cold plasmas and can be manipulated
with physical forces such as electromagnetic radiation and
acoustic waves. This is perfect for confined space fires.
Nanosized sensors enable the study of chemical & biochemical processes Drop Nano-sensors into can of “HIPS“ paint and link to Industrial Internet
Optochemical Nanosensors – Safety, Security & Bioterrorism
The fire protection equipment manufacturing renaissance Programmable Matter & 3D Printing – Develop smart materials that react Li-Air Battery has an extremely high energy density, a measure of the amount of energy a battery can store for a given volume
3D Printing, Programmable Matter & Lithium Air Batteries
Building in Harare, Zimbabwe has no air-conditioning, yet stays cool thanks to a termite-inspired ventilation system
Shark skin engineered surfaces for medical devices can reduce the incidence of microorganisms and hospital-aquired infections Animal communication systems will evolve to enable us to make decisions based on behaviour and physiology of other species
Biomimicry & Animal Communication Technology
“Great Spirits have often encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds” “Be who you are and say what you feel,
because those that matter don’t mind and those that mind don’t matter”
