batteries are an “atoms” technology — something that powers our physical world instead of helping us spin a new digital one. So the Decade of the Battery will look more like earlier decades, in which physical appliances like washing machines, refrigerators, and air conditioning were the hot new thing.
(good stuff before the paywall)
This is why I’m interested in battery tech. And “atoms” technology changes in general right now. I think most of the Next Big Things will be infrastructural as the foundation gets reworked to build the next paradigm change (Ambient computing).
