Welcome to Wax Poetic Future by me, Colin George.
Here you will find plain English overviews on advanced technologies, evaluations of emerging tech trends, and lists of interesting products and companies.
I am a passionate technologist and versatile executive with a diverse background encompassing venture capital, data science and new venture formation.
Here you will find plain English overviews detailing advanced technologies, evaluations of emerging trends and lists of interesting products and companies. I am also an avid reader, so I will likely also post a few book reviews.
As a starting point, I have expanded upon Accenture’s DARQ technology framework (decentralized, AI, mixed-reality and quantum) to include two additional acronyms, Adversarial Computing and Biology.
A synopsis of the themes that I will be evaluating, exploring and sourcing in this blog follows below:
