Our colleague Jeff Brown will be familiar to our longtime readers. In truth, he had numerous triple-digit returns in his Brownstone Research study portfolios last year. Here's what Jeff believes the tech sector will bring us in 2021 Each year, I like to have a look at the big picture and forecast what's simply around the corner. Longtime readers of my work understand that I follow the most interesting tech patterns on the verge of mass adoption.
These trends are experiencing rapid growth and producing incredible chances for investors. 5G Gadgets Our brand-new 5G (fifth-generation) wireless networks are a topic I've been covering for years now. Although the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted supply chains last year, an impressive 250 million 5G-enabled gadgets were still sold. Particularly in the 2nd quarter, there were supply chain disturbances, manufacturing holdups, and work stoppages. And all of this eventually led to Apple delaying the release of the 5G-enabled i, Phone 12 by 2 months. When you consider all of that, offering 250 million systems is impressive. More importantly, the delays triggered by the pandemic produced a lots of bottled-up demand. Which demand is now going to be pressed into 2021. In reality, I forecast that more than 500 million 5G devices will be shipped in 2021. Phase 3 of 5G When I have actually discussed 5G in the past, I have actually explained its three different phases. In Phase One, the facilities of these new networks is developed out, including all the new towers and fiber-optic electrical wiring 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 start to see applications running on 5G networks. And my second 5G forecast for 2021 is that we will begin Stage Three by this summer season. More and more consumers will go out to buy a 5G phone to access these applications. 5G is going to open up a suite of incredible applications: self-driving cars and trucks, the Web of Things, robotic surgical treatment, and more. The investment opportunities going forward will be enormous. CRISPR Genetic Editing Stepping away from 5G, the next crucial technology I predict in 2021 is CRISPR genetic modifying. It's one of the most interesting advancements in biotechnology.
