Many thanks to the forecasting team at Cisco's IT Executive Summit in San Francisco, California!
The Lab found several major patterns of interest in your forecasts, and super-interesting areas for future forecasting work:
-
unintended impacts from Cubesats on financial markets, legal systems, and governance
-
tangentially related fields of science & technology that could experience breakthroughs as a result of Cubesat industry
-
opportunities to create personalized agriculture, fishing and food industries
From the more than 200 micro-forecasts you submitted, here are some of our favorite outlier ideas. And for outliers from Free Space experiments around the world, visit the Signtific Lab. And for more signals from the future of science, join our main Signtific community!
