🔮 Grading my predictions for 2022
Quantum computing, fusion, Web3, energy & climate tech, AI++
Every year, I offer my predictions for the year ahead — and at the end of every year, I review how the past predictions played out. I asked Nathan Warren, a new team member at Exponential View, to help with the assessment. Our discussion follows below.Â
Before we get into it, you can read my 2022 predictions here. TL;DR the main themes were the following:
Two futuristic technologies — quantum computing and nuclear fusion — will become more present in our consciousness during 2022,
We’ll reach another turning point in Web3 adoption and innovation,
The debate will shift in the wake of two 2021 occurrences: 1) the comparative fragility in European energy systems, and 2) a rethink about nuclear fission power or the role of fossil fuels, particularly natural gas, in the clean transition (note, this was before Putin’s war on Ukraine),
Big tech will remain big.
