– Looking back at my tech predictions.By Tim Frank Andersen, Chief Digital Officer \u2014 Charlie Tango2020 \u2014 a year of digital hypergrowth dominated by the PandemicWhen I made my ten tech predictions twelve months ago, none of us imagined what a crazy year we had coming. It has been terrible, both from a health point of view but also for the many businesses and industries that have seen their world turned upside down. But the year has also accelerated a lot of technical and digital areas and paved the way for new innovations. Some of them I spotted pretty well.So, let\u2019s take a look at how well I did, trying to predict the ten most interesting tech trends for 2020. I have divided them into three groups:home runs: Close calls: \ufe0f and Off Base: \ufe0f Genetics deliver the new mRNA vaccineWhen we turn the calendar to 2021 it will be with the hope, that we will all get the chance to be vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as possible. Typically, it takes ten years to develop a new vaccine \u2014 The Coronavirus vaccines were developed in less than a year. Pretty amazing! It\u2019s all due to a new methodology never used before: mRNA. Last year I predicted a breakthrough for genetics. I think we can tick this one off. Critical spare parts printed on locationAdditive manufacturing also showed the commercial potential that I predicted. When supply chains were broken because of lockdowns, spare parts for respirators and different kinds of protective equipment were 3D printed on location around the world, helping to solve critical problems. Micro delivery with drones during the Corona crisisDrone delivery stepped in to help get stuff delivered to isolated or quarantined people and places. In the US, it was done through smaller test cases like when\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
