The Future is cloudy

Past 50 years
The most important technology in the past 50 years, is the Integrated
Circuit.
The most amazing development in the past 25 years, is the Internet
Information explosion which will continue at an exponential rate. It has changed our society from an
Industrial to an information society.
Decision & Timing are Important

Future
The most significant development in the next 15 years, will be the nano technology. Here the chemistry, nano-robotics, nano-medicine, and nano-electronics will be combined to make the most astounding break throughs in every field.

Decision & Timing are Important
1.The Wrong Decision, at the Wrong
Time, Results in Disaster.
2.The Wrong Decision, at the Right
Time, Results in a Mistake.
3.The Right Decision, at the Wrong
Time, Results in Rejection.
4.The Right Decision, at the Right
Time, Results in Success.

The Future is up to you
Some people make things happen,
Some people watch things happen,
Other people wonder what happened.
The rest only criticize those that make things happen,
Be part of the solution, and not part of the problem.
Keep learning, it is a never ending process.
