How will technology shape our future world?

In the past decade, there has been a massive technology change and changed our life drastically. In the years to come, the sector of artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and the Internet on things will change things remarkably. The below article will throw lights on the future predictions of technology and shape our future.

FLYING CARS

We all are fed up with the daily traffic and honking. You will be glad to know that flying cars will soon be the reality. Japan has planned to commercialize it as soon as 2023. Companies like Uber, Airbus, and Boeing are actively working on the same. Although the safety, rules, and regulations may take a long to be mainstream, it would be interesting to drive in the air, rather than crowded roads.

Hyperfast trains / HYPERLOOP

We all have played air hockey as a kid, consider Hyperloop or high-speed train to move as easily as the puck moves in air hockey. It will work on the principle of magnetic levitation and low-pressure transit tubes. This technology rules out the friction created by the traditional wheel system and hence can allow moving at a high speed. It is said it will allow people to travel at 1223 km/ hr. This transportation concept is founded and developed by Tesla. It is aimed to become the global mean of transportation and change the perception of travel for all.

Wearable screens

The days of carrying a 6-inch phone will be long gone. A projector-like touch-capable device will make the gadgets screenless. The phone will no longer be required to carry but worn or implanted.

Space vacation

People may soon plan a vacation to Mars, all thanks to companies like SpaceX and Blue origin, which will make this impossible into possible. Although the price of this trip will be super expensive and hence only be a viable option for the super-rich people.

Drone delivery

Soon your products will be delivered via drone. This technology is forecasted to grow from 2023 to 2030. This technology was developed to fulfill the high demand for same-day delivery, supply to remote areas, and a need for hygienic and contactless delivery. The advantages also include reduced traffic and pollution and hefty savings in terms of transportation cost.

RENEWABLE ENERGY

Fossil fuels will soon deplete and hence it will be necessary to harness solar energy. It is predicted that underwater cabling and other intrinsic infrastructure will help countries to use solar power generated in the Sahara Desert. India has aimed to transition to 60% renewable energy in the electricity sector by the year 2030.

AI-enabled robots

As of now, robots can perform menial tasks. In the future robots will be able to take over most of the simple tasks, and humans will be involved in doing more complex and highly intellectual tasks. Robots will be responsible to do hazardous jobs like diffusing bombs, handling radioactive substances. Our workplace may soon be shared with several robots.

IoT in home and business

Internet of things – means a network of things enabled by sensors and software to connect and exchange data among the connected devices over the internet.

IoT will soon enter into home automation – which can control the lighting, temperature, door, and windows of your house. IoT will also prove to be helpful in the sectors like healthcare, manufacturing, agriculture, and many more.

VIRTUAL REALITY

The VR that we know now brings an immersive experience to the user in terms of sight and hearing. VR will soon extend and try to inculcate the other senses like smell and touch – to deepen the sense of immersion. Apart from entertainment, VR will also be used in the education business.

Use of BIG DATA and MACHINE LEARNING

Every single minute there is an immense amount of data that is churned out. Current data is estimated at around 30 zettabytes and it is predicted to grow around 175 zettabytes by the year 2025. 1 zettabyte equals 1 billion TB. Businesses around the globe will use big data and machine learning to analyze these huge data and take wise decisions to ensure their success.

Medical advancements

The Healthcare industry had already begun relying on technology to match the never-ending need for medical care. In the future nanobots will monitor our health, by the year 2030 nanobots will be flowing through our body. These bots will monitor our health and transmit data to the medical staff. To match the increasing medical need, doctors will soon be replaced by Robots to perform certain intricate surgeries.

VERTICAL FARMING

By the year 2050, there will be a huge explosion in population. Due to urbanization, fertile land becomes less and less. To meet the growing demand for food vertical farming will become mainstream. As the name suggests Vertical farming means growing crops on vertically inclined surfaces. The essential things for growing crops like temperature, humidity, light, and water is controlled artificially. Such farming aims to generate maximum produce in limited space.

A REFRIGERATOR that orders food for you

In the future, you may not have to run to supermarkets on regular basis to fill up on groceries. Your fridge will sense which item is running low on stock and order it for you. This kind of fridge already exists in the market, in the future, this technology is estimated to get more advanced and be common good in everyone’s home.

Lab-grown MEATS

By the year 2050, we will need around 56% more food. Scientists are working on innovative techniques to produce meat in labs. They take few stem cells from animals and grow them in a suitable environment, hence producing slaughter-free meat for the people. Moreover, few brands are developing plant-based meats from the soybean roots and pea protein

Looking Toward the Future

The technology we have now, would have felt like fiction 20 years ago, it is hard to pinpoint where the technology would go in the future, yet the current developments assure a drastic change in our lives.
