Top 10 technoogies we’ll see in 2025 \ ABC Radio Wide Bay
In this weeks regular segment Ross of ABC Wide Bay radio and I chatted about a recent report from Thompson Reuters on the technology that we are most likely to see in 2025.
Its sources are patents and current buzzing scientific journal literature and although this is a good start for what may be ahead, I questioned whether we would see many of them.
Their top 10 for 2025 included:
Dementia Declines
Solar Power Everywhere
Type 1 Diabetes Prevention
No more food shortage
Simple Electric Flight
Digitally connected
No more plastic garbage
More precise drugs
DNA mapping normalised
Teleportation tested
Although many of the above are very likely to occur including digital connection, no more plastic bags, DNA mapping, many others are less likely to be in wide or any use at all.
This is not because we can’t, but because we won’t. It will be either too expensive, the infrastructure to make it plausible will not yet be ready, or 2025 is just too early.
This list includes: no more food shortages – which I argue we could solve now id we just played nicer together; solar power everything – I’d love this to come true, but we have a current grid system based on non renewable fuels that represents 94% of all of our fuel usage that will not dismantle itself and be replaced within a decade and no list would be complete without teleportation – which even with the greatest of optimism I can’t see us beaming Scotty up anywhere near 2025.
I’d also bet that the true breakthrough technology of 2025 hasn’t even been heard of yet, nor maybe even thought of.
Have a listen now and then share what technology you think will dominate in 2025.

When signals like Top 10 technoogies we’ll see in 2025 \ ABC Radio Wide emerge, organisations that engage early have the advantage of choosing their response rather than reacting to events. That gap between those who prepared and those who did not is where competitive positioning is actually made or lost.
The most important question is not whether Top 10 technoogies we’ll see in 2025 \ ABC Radio Wide will matter, but how quickly it will matter in your specific context. Leaders benefit most from mapping the ripple effects early — not just the direct impact but the second and third-order consequences that arrive later and hit harder. That is the practical work of foresight.
