Investment Dos and Don’ts • Status quo investments = penury • Look for:
–Disruptors; –Comparative advantage; or –Deep under valuation
• Research, probe and specialise 29

Productivity & Tech Stasis • Moore’s Law broke down in 2005 due to Dennard
Scaling • Cost of computational power is rising more than
benefit it delivers e.g.: – Aerospace relies on efficiency gains from computing power – Drug development for more complex diseases requires
exponentially more computing power • Marginal productivity gains in decline

Quantum Computing Classical Computing
In classical computing a bit is 0 or 1. A 2-bit computer has four ‘states’ but can only perform one of these operations at a time:
Quantum Computing In quantum computing a qubit is 0 or 1 or both at the same time (!?!) because of “super-positioning.” A quantum computer can thus analyse all four states in one operation:
0 0
? ?

Quantum Computing A computer with n cubits can be in super-position of 2n states at the same time. So a 4 qubit quantum computer could analyse 16 parallel states in a single operation:

Driverless Technology • One billion vehicles on the road today – majority with just a single passenger
and idle 95% of the time • Driverless cars will:
– Use roads efficiently - Reduce congestion – Increase car sharing - Reduce energy requirements – Improve safety - Disrupt insurance industry – Free up time – NO PARKING!
• 2.5m driving jobs in the U.S. alone • Uber has demonstrated its driverless technology for trucks delivering beer

Energy Revolution • Energy conversion of fossil fuels is ~13% • Significant production efficiency gain possible • Solar power cost is at grid parity in southern US and
southern Europe and many parts of Asia

Energy Revolution 1. Bioo plant – photosynthesis 2. Gold nanowire – no degradation 3. Magnesium – no shielding required 4. Solid state lithium ion – super capacitor
potential 5. Graphene car batteries – charge and
discharge 33 times faster than lithium ion 6. Foam batteries, safer (not flammable), higher
energy density, cheaper and longer life 7. Aluminium graphite – fully charged in one
minute 8. Alfa battery – 40 times charge of lithium ion 9. Skin power – current from skin using gold
film 10. Foldable batteries – bendable gadgets
• Over the last four years, battery costs have declined over 50%. A further 50% price decline is anticipated by 2020
• Tesla’s Giga-factory will produce 35 giga-watts of batteries by 2020, more than 2013’s global batter production
• Many new technologies in development

Sequencing Technology 1993: One researcher could read 500 letters of the human genome per day 2016: Computers can read more than 3 billion genome letters per day at a cost of $5,000. This is the equivalent of 6 million researchers in 1993

CRISPR / CAS9 • Young technology but has fundamentally changed gene editing
and medicine
• Part of immune system of bacteria used to fight viruses
• Simple, versatile and reproducible results
• Can target multiple genes at once
• Applications from basic research, drug development, agriculture and genetic diseases

Longevity • Key pathways implicated in ageing beginning to be
understood – nicotinamide, MTOR, AMPK, SIRT1 & other Sirtunis
• Understanding a result of rapid sequencing and study of: – Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae – Mice Mus musculus – Fruit flies Drosophila melanogaster – Earth worms Caenorhabditis elegans
