Regular Journal readers know that tech isn't our usual beat. Our associate Jeff Brown will be familiar to our longtime readers.
In truth, he had a number of triple-digit returns in his Brownstone Research portfolios last year. Here's what Jeff thinks the tech sector will bring us in 2021 Each year, I like to take a look at the huge image and forecast what's simply around the corner. Long time readers of my work know that I follow the most amazing tech trends on the brink of mass adoption.
These trends are experiencing exponential development and developing unbelievable chances for financiers. 5G Gadgets Our brand-new 5G (fifth-generation) cordless networks are a subject I've been covering for years now.
Even though the COVID-19 pandemic interfered with supply chains in 2015, an outstanding 250 million 5G-enabled gadgets were still offered. Especially in the 2nd quarter, there were supply chain disruptions, making delays, and work stoppages. And all of this eventually caused Apple delaying the release of the 5G-enabled i, Phone 12 by two months.
When you consider all of that, offering 250 million units is remarkable. More significantly, the hold-ups brought on by the pandemic produced a lots of pent-up demand. Which demand is now going to be pressed into 2021. In reality, I anticipate that more than 500 million 5G devices will be shipped in 2021.
Phase 3 of 5G When I have actually spoken about 5G in the past, I've described its 3 different stages. In Stage One, the facilities of these new networks is built out, consisting of all the brand-new towers and fiber-optic circuitry that 5G will require. In Stage Two, 5G gadgets go on sale.
And in Stage 3, 5G services begin to be provided. That's when we begin to see applications running on 5G networks. And my second 5G prediction for 2021 is that we will begin Stage 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 incredible applications: self-driving vehicles, the Web of Things, robotic surgery, and more.
The investment chances going forward will be massive. CRISPR Genetic Modifying Stepping away from 5G, the next crucial innovation I anticipate in 2021 is CRISPR hereditary editing. It's one of the most amazing advancements in biotechnology.
