A perspective on where technology is headed:

First, as digital systems become increasingly pervasive, humanity will place growing value on real-world experiences, social connection, and technologies that augment rather than replace them.

Second, the next generation of disruptive products will be defined less by raw capability and more by how intuitively and delightfully they integrate into human workflows, grounded in a deep understanding of cognition and behavior.

Third, this shift points toward physical AI and embodied systems in domains like defense, construction, infrastructure, and consumer products as the next major frontier where intelligence meaningfully reshapes the physical world.

Fourth, opportunities will emerge in the in-between layers that give rise to usable intelligent systems, including human data, operational guardrails, orchestration APIs, coordination layers, interoperability standards, and long-horizon memory.

Fifth, as products go deeper into specific verticals, there is growing demand for multi-suite platforms rather than singular tools, since real workflows span multiple functions and value accrues to systems that unify context, data, and execution.

Sixth, as autonomous systems act, transact, and coordinate on our behalf, importance will increasingly shift toward technologies that define how trust, control, and responsibility propagate through such systems.
