Imagine hamburgers and chicken tenders that were never part of a real cow or chicken. In 5 to 10 years, supermarkets will feature packs of in vitro meat that will cost less to produce than meat from cattle and pigs and have far less impact on the environment. How can this be? What will it mean for farmers, the environment, and the global economy? We’ll provide the answers.

Creative destruction is marching on. Just as whole new industries, like in vitro meat, robotic exoskeletons, service robots, and massively multi-player online role-playing games are emerging, others that have been around for generations are dying. We’ll take a look at 10 of those industries and examine the opportunities, threats, and implications.
