RE: The Top 5 Most Disruptive Technologies of The Next Decade

I agree with most of this list, but I think some key tech was left out.

I could see blockchain technology being highly disruptive, especially with a platform like steemit already existing. Even if steemit doesn't go mainstream, it only takes one platform that will, or one of the already mainstream platforms (Instagram, FaceBook, Snapchat) to somehow incorporate blockchain into their social platform.

And thats just talking social, not even getting into industry.

And what about something like neural link? Direct brain-computer augmentation is a very real possibility within the next decade and could completely revolutionize the way we live and the ways we learn. If we're able to enhance the 150,000 year old hardware in our heads, theres no telling what could change on all levels of our society.

Also, genetic engineering. Things like CRISPR are already revolutionary, what happens as we build on that tech? What kind of impact will being able to pre-determine a Childs traits bring? Or ones ability to change their hair, eye, or even skin color?

Still, good write up. Looking forward to more : )

Yeah, there is so much that not all of it can be included in one Top 5 post. Will definitely write part 2 and 3 of this post to include all of those.
