As another series of Technology Untangled is drawing to a close, for me at least, it's been a pretty wild ride.

I have had the amazing opportunity to speak to over 40 technologists, scientists, academics, developers, researchers, futures, futurists and IT generalists worldwide to untangle innovations that are on the cutting edge of enterprise tech.

We're doing things now which would have been considered inconceivable even just two or three years ago.

Each drone today is given instructions as to how to respond and make decisions.

But in the future, they won't just be given instructions, they will be able to learn on their own.

Imagine that.

The secondary mission, as you say, is when we, our explorers push that edge further out to the

moon and to the Mars.

Things that sounded incredibly futuristic just a few years ago are already a reality.

And so today, for a little change of pace in this final episode of the series,

we've pulled together some of the most important themes

of this exciting year. In over 60 hours of interviews, we've talked about 5G, supercomputers,

AI, computer science, digital transformation, zero trust, blockchain, IoT, energy innovation,

quantum computing, mixed reality, and everything in between.

So, like any good project or science experiment, it's time to draw some conclusions.

What have we learned? Back for just one episode before the Technology Untangled team have a well-earned break.

I'm Michael Bird and this is Technology Untangled.

In the second series of Technology Untangled, we featured an abundance of incredible tech

innovations. We've explored what edge computing looks like in outer space, how supercomputers

are helping us to fight COVID, and how new strides in

5G and augmented reality might fundamentally change our workplaces. But there was one particular

topic that kept cropping up.
