In the previous post I discussed the expected evolution of batteries for EV, particularly with respect to their life time, a factor impacting the overall cost of operating the car (as well as the management of battery waste, the shorter their life span, the more waste to manage), The second …

Doesn’t matter who you are talking to, car manufacturers, trucking companieus, taxi drivers and lay people, everybody perceives that the coming of self-driving cars is going to produce a disruption in the transportation area and in the transportation value chain. There are perceptual aspects, such as “if I have a …

Let me now consider what may happen, in terms of Digital Transformation, in the area of private transportation (cars). It helps looking back at how the car market evolved. At the very start cars where an artisanal product, there was no standardisation and no rules of operation (the roads were …

The Digital Transformation with its resulting loss of value (it opens up newer value creation opportunities, as well, and I will consider those later) disrupts business affecting incumbent players and opening the doors to new ones. Disruptions can have different roots that may be difficult to pinpoint. Sometimes it may …

In the previous posts I made some unpleasing statements, like the fact that the Digital Transformation is decreasing the overall value of a value chain, by increasing its efficiency and eventually moving the benefits to the end consumer that will be paying a lower price. Obviously, if the price is …

In a previous post I considered internal specificity (genome, proteome, metabolome), now I am going to look at the external factors that need to be considered in precision health, starting with the Microbiome, a sort of a bridge between the internal and external specificity. Microbiome Our body is composed of …

Self driving cars are the talk of the day with more and more articles looking at the time when we can read our newspaper (assuming there will still be a newspaper -paper- to read) as our car drives us to the office. So far self driving cars are a matter …

Technology is not just evolving our machines, it is creating a bridge between us and them. Bio-Interfaces are enabling seamless communications between our body, our mind, and machines. This is clearly being exploited by better prosthetics that fit naturally to replace a lost functionality as well as future prosthetics that …
