Emma Walsh here, handling editor of the Diary. Routine Journal readers understand that tech isn't our normal beat. And when it concerns tech investing, we leave it to the professionals. The good news is, we have a number of such professionals in our Rolodex. Our colleague Jeff Brown will be familiar to our long time readers.
In fact, he had a number of triple-digit returns in his Brownstone Research portfolios in 2015. Here's what Jeff thinks the tech sector will bring us in 2021 Each year, I like to have a look at the huge image and anticipate what's simply around the corner. Longtime readers of my work understand that I follow the most amazing tech trends on the brink of mass adoption.
These patterns are experiencing rapid growth and creating amazing chances for investors. I wish to make certain all our readers are gotten ready for what's next. And with that in mind, let me draw the photo of what I see coming in the next 12 months 1. 5G Devices Our new 5G (fifth-generation) cordless networks are a topic I have actually been covering for years now.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted supply chains in 2015, a remarkable 250 million 5G-enabled devices were still offered. Particularly in the second quarter, there were supply chain interruptions, producing delays, and work stoppages. And all of this eventually resulted in Apple postponing the release of the 5G-enabled i, Phone 12 by 2 months.
And that demand is now going to be pressed into 2021. I predict that more than 500 million 5G gadgets will be delivered in 2021.
Phase Three of 5G When I've spoken about 5G in the past, I've described its three different stages. In Phase One, the facilities of these new networks is constructed out, including all the new towers and fiber-optic electrical wiring that 5G will need. In Phase Two, 5G gadgets go on sale.
And in Stage Three, 5G services start 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 start Stage 3 by this summer season.
More and more consumers will go out to buy a 5G phone to gain access to these applications. 5G is going to open up a suite of incredible applications: self-driving automobiles, the Internet of Things, robotic surgical treatment, and more.
The financial investment chances going forward will be huge. CRISPR Genetic Modifying Stepping away from 5G, the next crucial technology I predict in 2021 is CRISPR genetic editing. It's one of the most amazing advancements in biotechnology.
