According to Mills in The Cloud Revolution<\/em><\/strong>, a convergence of technologies will drive an economic boom over the coming decade. It will come not from any single big invention, but from the confluence of radical advances in three primary technology domains: microprocessors, materials and machines. Microprocessors are increasingly embedded in everything. Materials, from which everything is built, are emerging with novel, almost magical capabilities. And machines, which make and move all manner of stuff, are undergoing a complementary transformation. Accelerating and enabling all of this is the Cloud, history\u2019s biggest infrastructure, which is itself based on the building blocks of next-generation microprocessors and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have wrung much magic from the technologies that fueled the last long boom. But the convergence now underway will ignite the 2020s. And this time, unlike any previous historical epoch, we have the Cloud amplifying everything. The next boom starts now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
