Nearly 10 years ago, Jeff Bezos posed this rhetorical question:

"The common question that gets asked in business is, 'why?' That's a good question, but an equally valid question is, 'why not?'"

Since then, tech giants like Amazon have made huge steps in developing and rolling out technologies that push the limits of what we thought was possible.

Here are the emerging technologies that have set off alarm bells for experts.
