• The first implantable mobile phone will become commercially available in 2025.
• A government will replace its census with big-data technologies by 2023.
• 10% of reading glasses will be connected to the internet by 2023.

• The first transplant of a 3D-printed liver will occur 2024.
• More than 50% of Internet traffic to homes will be from appliances and devices by 2024.
