3. ATMs: Technology questions
What new technologies appear on the technological horizon?
How does one distinguish these technologies from each
other?
At what stage of their lifecycles are these technologies?
Which of these technologies are useful for the ATM industry?
Will these selected technologies become game changers?
How do we use functional performance metrics to distinguish
hype from reality?
How do we track the selected technologies?

Chips that communicate with pulses of light instead of electrical signals could lead to
computers that are more power-efficient than today's best machines and up to 1,000
times as fast.

9. Conclusion
We have to adopt a mind set which anticipates future
technologies, which understands the comprehensiveness of the
technological horizon and which engages critically and
enthusiastically with the realities found there.
