Original 2021 statement: There are a lot of things you will use in 10 years that have not yet been invented.

What Jim has written about this

From “Daily Inspiration: “Companies that do not yet exist will build products not yet conceived based on ideas that have yet been generated, using materials not yet invented, with manufacturing methods that have not yet been conceived. Are you ready for the new world of disruption?”” (February 2017)

” Companies that don’t yet exist will build products that are not yet conceived, based on ideas that have yet been generated, using materials not yet invented, with manufacturing methods that have not yet been conceived. Are you ready for the new world of disruption ?” - #Futurist Jim Carroll

From “Daily Inspiration: 24 Strategies for 2024 #3 - “Be furiously focused, but gloriously distracted!”” (November 2023)

What might yet be invented or brought to life that we can not yet imagine? When this fellow predicted the eventual all-in-one iPhone eight years previous to its release, he was subjected to a bit of ridicule.

Such a question might have been imaginable 10 years ago - except to those aware of the revolution that was coming with 3d printing technology. Today, this type of thing is routine. (They didn’t find a solution and ended up having to buy a new base. I do know someone suggested the local library, but that 3d printer was booked up till mid-January! But the fact that the question was asked tells me where we are today.)

Tomorrow’s inconceivable idea is being invented right now.  I know I repeat this phrase a lot, but it bears repeating again: Companies that do not yet exist will build products not yet conceived using materials not yet invented, with methodologies not yet in existence, based on ideas and innovations yet to be pursued, with knowledge that has not yet been generated.

From “Daily Inspiration: “Companies that don’t yet exist will build cars that aren’t yet designed, using materials not yet invented, with manufacturing methods that have not yet been conceived. Are you ready for the new world of manufacturing?”” (February 2017)
