Synopsis

John Moritz is a former Amazon executive who shares his thoughts for where the world's biggest disruptor could be heading over the next 100 years. Year 2099: Outer Space. When I first joined Amazon, I heard about how Jeff Bezos talked publicly about his dream for earth to someday be a large park for humans. Manufacturing will disappear from the planet. Robots will do manufacturing in space. Humans are freed from repetitive and mundane jobs. Most humans do not like these jobs anyways. Products and goods will be flown from space to earth in autonomous aircraft. The robots will pick up the trash while they are here and dump it in space where it can float away. We can pollute outer space as much as we want. It doesn’t make any sense to pollute the planet where we live. At this moment, I realize the man who will have biggest impact on humanity over the next 100 years is not any government, politician or world leader. It is Jeff Bezos. Year 2040: Printed Meals What are the implications to farming and world hunger if food can be printed instead of harvested? What will happen to land values when humans learn they do not need to have vast tracts of land available for farming? How will humans settle throughout the world once they do not have to worry about food? What is the biggest risk to Amazon’s eCommerce business? How does Amazon get disrupted? The answer is the advancing technology of 3-D printing. If we do not need to ship products in the future, then what happens to all retailers both online and in-store? When will we be able to 3-D print a new TV? When will we be able to 3-D print a fresh, big and juicy, bright red strawberry? When will a Filet Mignon, cooked well-done, with the best seasonings be able to be printed? How does Amazon participate in 3-D printing? Think Amazon Alexa. Who will we ask to make our favorite dinner as we sit in the comfort of our home on the couch? We may ask her, “Alexa, make me my favorite dinner. In the future, Alexa may do a lot more for us than she does today. Year 2035: Smart City Grids and Highway Systems Imagine a world where autonomous cars, vans, trucks, and buses communicate with one another. It is winter. There is an ice patch in one lane of a highway. A car drives over the ice and swerves. The car tells other cars behind it where the ice is so they can avoid it. Vision AI in highway cameras proactively tells the next salt truck to drop extra salt on the ice patch. What if a car tire goes flat causing it to swerve into oncoming traffic? The swerving car alerts oncoming traffic instantly. AI in the cloud navigates all vehicles involved in a potential collision to safety. In the future, will vehicle accidents decline to zero? Imagine a world where cameras on every street corner communicate with building security systems, police, firemen, and autonomous vehicles. Imagine yourself walking down a city alley late at night. You have no fear of being attacked or mugged because AI protects you. You may ask Amazon Alexa to accompany you on your walk. She follows you digitally in the cloud via cameras like a personal bodyguard looking out for your well-being. The cameras on every street corner stream their data to the cloud and AI connects the data in ways humans find helpful. A thief tries to steal your purse? Alexa instantly sounds sirens, turns on flashing lights, takes a video of the criminal, tries to identify the criminal, calls police, and tracks the criminal as he or she flees the scene.
