7 Reasons the Tech Sector Is Set for Explosive Growth

As a technology researcher, I'm often asked if tech growth has peaked, or if there is more to come. After spending lots of time thinking about this question, I've decided that the tech industry is in for a sea change, leading to a potential tripling of demand for tech-related goods and services over the next decade. Here are my seven reasons to be bullish about technology's future, broken down by category. A major move to build out broadband wireless networks will provide the underlying infrastructure critical for innovation in communications, the Internet of Things (which will connect lots of formerly "dumb" electronics, like air conditioners and coffee makers) and self-driving automobiles. Meanwhile, "mesh networks" that connect nearby devices to one another in local grids will allow for a new wave of wireless innovation in densely packed cities and other communities.
