In the 1950s and 60s, the Futurists were saying that there will be flying cars, robots and other technologies in the early 2000s. Instead, we are using Smartphone, Live Streaming and other Social Networks in 2019. Today, futurists are saying that there will be impressive technologies that might change the world.
Voice Assistants:
You might be aware of Apple Homepod and Amazon Echo. These are primary examples of voice assistants. There is a prediction that people will use this technology in their homes, offices and in vehicles to enjoy artificial intelligence.
Crispr:
Crispr is a technology that helps humans to eliminate the genetic diseases and infections such as Cystic Fibrosis and Huntington. It is a gene-splicing technology that targets the mutated sections of DNA. It also replaces the removed sections with the non-mutated variants. This technology has the ability to remove the disease permanently.
Robot Assistants:
Whether it is a factory or a battlefield, robots are expected to approach to help humans. Boston Dynamics is one of the popular companies offering a wide range of robot assistants. Knightscope is another example of robot assistant production company. It produces robots for recognition of license plates and suspicious networks.
Augmented & Mixed Reality:
There were several doubts about whether augmented & mixed reality technology will be available or not. Today, Technology Giants such as Apple are working on similar technologies. There are authentic reports that Apple has developed AR Headset. This will replace the iPhone in coming years.
Regenerative Medicines:
It sounds like a science fiction story but Regenerative Medicines are in production. These medicines are effective to regenerate the human organs. Organovo is a famous company producing printers to design 3D printing body parts.
Driverless Vehicles:
Popular automakers including Volvo, General Motors and Tesla are already in this phase. They are developing driverless vehicles. However, these vehicles are in production and testing phase. General Motors is expected to launch its first driverless vehicle at the end of 2019. The concept of Pilotless vehicles is also present in the minds of technologists.
Reusable Rockets:
This technology is essential for NASA and other space agencies. Space exploration is impossible without producing cost-effective rockets. This will minimize the cost of space travel and transportation.
Cryptocurrency:
The concept of digital currency is not new. However, this idea is facing difficulties with implementation. Bitcoin ($10000 per coin at time of writing) is a successful example of Cryptocurrency. No doubt, the value of these coins is fluctuating but it is expected to get a raise in the future.
Quantum Computing:
The information or data processing depends on conventional 0 to 1 system. Nowadays, computers are very powerful but there are so many limitations. Scientists are proposing concept of quantum computers to process information in quantum bits. This will solve the challenging processing systems. No doubt, the technology is still in testing phase but Google and Microsoft are doing huge investments to develop smart or supercomputers.
Automation and Artificial Intelligence:
Most of the famous companies, manufacturers and brands are frequently using automation. Nowadays, the idea of artificial intelligence is also getting recognition. Social media networks are great example of artificial intelligence. Scientists are also working to make artificial intelligence systems to detect the fraud and hacking activities online. Synapse is a famous company allowing the users to contribute in automation and learning models. This will definitely change the artificial intelligence economy in business sectors.
