What pops out at me is the strong emphasis on technologies based on math. All of the DNA work, chemistry, and engineering all take strong math foundations. I counted 10 technologies based directly on computing; that's 50% (half). The first 6 technologies are all based on computing. I'd argue that a few more are greatly enabled (modeled) on computers; come on, chaos theory is a computing problem.

The best mathematicians, engineers, and computer scientists will lead the future of technology. This WILL happen, many of these technologies I've studied myself, and for them it is just a question of time. When will they happen? Not if they happen. Will you be ready to compete on any of these technologies when they influence the infinite marketplace?
