5 Years Out - What are your expected Cash Cows in 5 years?

HKPhysicist over 1 year ago

A famous electronics wholesaler`s slogan - "5 Years Out".

So what kind of relevant electronics technology or product will become a Cash Cow 5 years later from now on?Money mouth

Please show your opinions.

Let me start first.

As British Defence Minister expressed in public, we are entering pre-World War stage.  I expect that new military applications can become cash cows.

  1. Defensive drone primarily for annihilating the opponent`s invading drone.
  2. Very fast Machine Vision for identifying EM wave stealth objects.
  3. Money mouth

    EV is being abandoned, though.

    Please check recent EU announcement.Smirk

    Internal Combustion Engine with non-carbon working fluid is always the correct direction.

    I do not know about the EU, but dealers in the US cannot sell them in rural areas.

    Nobody wants one.

    If you run out of power, nobody can just bring you a can of electricity.

    There are no mobile charge vehicles, so you have to have your EV towed to the nearest charging station.

    Plus the power grid is not robust enough to handle a massive shift to EVs.
