Register now for our free, live hypothetical on tech in 2030, this Thursday

Join us for a live online special panel discussion thinking about the future at 11am on Thursday, November 25.

Our 45-minute ‘Microthetical’, in partnership with Microsoft Australia, is a hypothetical set 10 years into the future, with leading tech experts exploring the possibilities, perils and power of tech to shape our lives.

Hosted by Startup Daily Editor Simon Thomsen, the Microthetical panel includes Microsoft Australia CTO Enterprise Sarah Carney, Climate Salad founder Mick Liubinskas, BTC Markets CEO Caroline Bowler and Professor Yang Xiang, Dean of Digital Research at Swinburne University of Technology.

Our hypothetical is this:

It’s 2030 and US President Mork Zuckerbot has plenty of issues that meta.

China and India are now global tech superpowers.

Elon Stark is preparing to leave Earth for good and is selling all of the cryptocurrency that made him the world’s first trillionaire.

Markets are nervous and ETFs are plunging, sending mum and dad millionaires broke in a crash known as Black DeFi.

Quantum computing now runs key infrastructure and government services using artificial intelligence with access to 25 years of social media data from all of the world’s citizens, with a centralised databank tracking their location minute-by-minute.

And war has broken out, with the rogue nation The United Republic of REvil launching cyber attacks on the US, supported by Eastern European cyber criminals hired from the Nasdaq-listed gig economy marketplace Hacktasker.

Breakthrough climate technologies started to solve the planet’s warming challenge, but bigger solutions to new problems need to be found as the world runs out of lithium, which Stark has been shipping to the moon over the last five years.

What happens next … ?
