In a nutshell, McKinsey's team (conducting the research) has assessed various technologies currently being developed and presented information on the twelve that they believe meet the following criteria:
A. High rate of technology change.
B. Broad potential scope of impact.
C. Large economic value that could be affected (by 2025).
D. Substantial potential for disruptive economic impact (by 2025).
| Mobile INTERNET: | Increasingly inexpensive and capable mobile computing devices and INTERNET connectivity. |
| Automation of Knowledge Work: | Intelligent software systems that can perform knowledge work tasks involving unstructured commands and subtle judgements. |
| Internet of Things: | Networks of low-cost sensors and actuators for DATA COLLECTION, monitoring, decision making and process optimization. |
| CLOUD TECHNOLOGY: | Use of computer hardware and software resources delivered over a network or the internet, often as a service. |
| Advanced Robotics: | Increasingly capable robots with enhanced senses, dexterity and intelligence used to automate tasks or augment humans. |
| Autonomous/Near Autonomous Vehicles: | Vehicles that can navigate and operate with reduced or no human intervention. |
