Technologies are ranked according to their score across nine meta-trends. These trends are driving the global spread of virtually free, widely accessible, infinitely scalable and exceedingly powerful technologies and platforms. As such, they are actively and rapidly destroying existing markets, industries, leveling competition, shifting power, redistributing wealth and creating a fundamentally new world. And they all thrive on your smartphone! (Or, soon will.)

 A score of 27 or higher guarantees success. A score of 18 or lower means certain doom. Extinction. By 2016, probably sooner. Those in between should sell out, seek a new business model, or be happy with their little tidepool of the world.

Rankings are based on in-depth research and a proprietary algorithm, For more on the trends and the methodology of these rankings, go here.
