New Zealand needs a Ministry for the Future to help the Government and society take best advantage of a “technologically enabled future”, technology organisations say.
Graeme Muller, chief executive of NZTech – one of 20 organisations behind a “manifesto” sent to all MPs on Tuesday – suggested rapid change may be upon us.
The price of solar power in the United States had dropped from 30 cents a kilowatt-hour in the 1980s to 4c today, he said.
The cost of sequencing a human genome, which can show what medical problems people might be susceptible to and what treatments could be effective for them, had dropped from $3 billion in 2007, to less than $1000, he said.
