Silicon Valley’s biggest CEO just shocked everyone…
Start the conversation
By MONEY MORNING STAFF REPORTS
We’re talking about Mark Zuckerberg who recently made a surprise appearance at a low-key tech conference on the outskirts of Silicon Valley.
And he had a huge announcement to share.
You see, within the next few weeks, his company is expected to release a groundbreaking new device featuring technology that Time Magazine says has the potential to completely “revolutionize the way we live.”
Zuckerberg said it’s “the next great tech…that’s going to define the future.”
Is he right?
Editor’s Note: Wired Magazine says this technology, some call Neural Imprinting, is about to spark “a period of economic nirvana. Get a full rundown of this breakthrough and the little known company that’s holding virtually all the patents for the technology behind it by clicking here.)
According to analysts, the market for this type of technology is already set for blistering growth.
In fact, a recent published report from several Silicon Valley venture capital firms believe this single technology could soar “over 13,000% in the next 3 years.”
That’s nearly 5 times faster than the iPhone.
Zuckerberg himself invested an astronomical $2.1 billion in this technology – before it even hit the market.
Other famous Silicon Valley CEO’s have followed suit.
Microsoft’s CEO jumped in with $150 million, stating that this technology has “mind-blowing potential.”
And Google’s, Larry Page, recently headed a funding round worth $542 million to get his company in on the ground floor.
New projections now show that this groundbreaking technology, could soon be in over 64% of households in America.
Most analysts believe this “Neural Imprinting” Zuckerberg is so excited about will be available to the general public in early spring. And a piece of nearly every single one of these new devices… this $2.86 trillion wave of wealth…
will flow through one tiny company in the heart of Silicon Valley. To learn full details click here.
Last spring, I installed a Live!y home monitoring system in my 86-year-old mother in law’s apartment. This system uses Bluetooth sensors that communicate with a cellular hub; I plugged the hub into a wall socket, then placed sensors on her pillbox, keyfob, refrigerator, and bedroom door. I got reports telling me when she took her medicine, left the house, took a nap, or opened the fridge. It was a breeze to set up and managed to strike the right balance between respecting her privacy and providing useful information about her activities.

Earlier this year, Live!y added a simple smartwatch to its monitoring system that acts as a panic button in case your parent needs help. It also includes a basic step counter and medication reminder. It’s a nicely designed piece of hardware, with an attractive face (available in black or gray, digital or analog), a waterproof case, and a rubberized wrist strap that’s easy to get on and off.

When your parent presses the big orange button on the side of the watch, she gets a phone call from Live!y asking if she’s al lright. If she says she needs help, or she doesn’t answer, Live!y will call her emergency contacts or immediately summon 911 services to her location, depending on which option you choose.
In my limited testing the watch worked pretty well. Calls arrived within two minutes of pressing the button. Lively’s iOS or Android app let you see how many steps its wearer has taken each day, when she’s left the house, and whether the sensors have moved. (An update coming in a few weeks will allow you to view 14 days of activity.) But that’s about it – there’s no monitoring of sleep or other vitals.
Right now the watch needs to be within 1500 feet of the hub in order to issue an alert. Starting next month, you’ll be able to pair the watch to an Android phone, so elders can issue alerts from anywhere. (Support for iOS will come in the third quarter.)
Later this year, seniors will be able to remove the watchface from the band and wear it on a magnetized clip somewhere on their torso, says Live!y co-founder David Glickman. That’s when the watch turns into an “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” warning system, using its internal accelerometer to detect a sudden drop and issue an alert.

Live!y is pretty slick, and at $50 for the kit (plus $28 to $35 a month) it’s more affordable than many elder monitoring systems. But unless your aging parent is a complete shut in – or totally smartphone phobic – I’d wait for the version that connects to a phone, so your parents can summon help from anywhere.
Age before beauty
I believe the tech revolution will eventually embrace older Americans, for two reasons: There are a lot of them, and they have money to spend. Boomers already account for a third of all mobile technology purchases and 40 percent of all online sales, according to data collected by AARP Media Sales. As our population both grows older and people live longer, those numbers
I for one am glad there is someone, Dolphins, that is still enthusastic about out company, as you can tell from the posts
Please remeber Dolphins that most of us here, like Sinkman has been around this company for a long time., and have become disallusioned, and hardened, because things have not progressed like we had hoped
We hope you are right! but are very skeptical now, hope you understand
I am almost at 20 years....Uuugh
If someone took your patenet and didnt pay you for it, what would you call them? Curious
Then why are you here?
"We didn't have anyone smart enough to realize what they had " really? rotflmao
Wonder if Nunchi will work withthe sensors in the new delivery drones
In the future, more technology can be added to the drones:
- Motors which are more efficient and powerful would allow the drone to lift heavier objects.
- Better batteries will allow the drone to fly further. If charging time decreases, the drone could also carry out more deliveries per day.
- Better sensors will allow the drone to map it’s environment with more accuracy.
- Improved AI will allow the drone to differentiate between permanent and temporary obstacles (i.e. if something is preventing a safe landing, it may move in the future meaning that drone delivery is still an option for the customer).
- Railguns can be used to prevent vandalism to the craft.
Currently, this is a good idea. In the future, this will be a great idea.
