Regular Journal readers know that tech isn't our typical beat. Our colleague Jeff Brown will be familiar to our longtime readers.
In reality, he had a number of triple-digit returns in his Brownstone Research portfolios in 2015. Here's what Jeff believes the tech sector will bring us in 2021 Each year, I like to take a look at the huge picture and anticipate what's just around the corner. Longtime readers of my work know that I follow the most interesting tech patterns on the edge of mass adoption.
These trends are experiencing exponential growth and developing amazing chances for financiers. 5G Devices Our new 5G (fifth-generation) cordless networks are a topic I have actually been covering for years now.
Even though the COVID-19 pandemic interfered with supply chains in 2015, an impressive 250 million 5G-enabled gadgets were still offered. Particularly in the 2nd quarter, there were supply chain interruptions, making hold-ups, and work interruptions. And all of this eventually caused Apple postponing the release of the 5G-enabled i, Phone 12 by two months.
When you think about all of that, offering 250 million systems is exceptional. More significantly, the delays brought on by the pandemic created a lots of suppressed need. And that need is now going to be pressed into 2021. In truth, I forecast that more than 500 million 5G devices will be delivered in 2021.
Stage Three of 5G When I have actually talked about 5G in the past, I have actually explained its three various phases. In Phase One, the infrastructure of these new networks is built out, consisting of all the new towers and fiber-optic circuitry that 5G will require. In Stage Two, 5G devices go on sale.
And in Stage Three, 5G services start to be provided. That's when we start to see applications running on 5G networks. And my 2nd 5G prediction for 2021 is that we will begin Phase Three by this summer season.
More and more customers will go out to purchase a 5G phone to gain access to these applications. 5G is going to open up a suite of unbelievable applications: self-driving automobiles, the Web of Things, robotic surgery, and more.
The financial investment chances going forward will be enormous. CRISPR Genetic Editing Stepping away from 5G, the next important technology I foresee in 2021 is CRISPR genetic modifying. It's one of the most interesting developments in biotechnology.
