Technology has made our lives easier by enhancing the quality of healthcare by personalised diagnostics, to providing a virtual tour of your home prior to purchasing. What technologies will make a huge impact on the future? This article looks at 10 emerging trends with the potential to change our world.
The 3D printing technology was rumored to be the next big technology, but there are several less mainstream technologies on this list – like clothes that shrink or increase in size with temperature and furniture that can be adapted to brain signals. Shape memory polymers are also worth looking into. They can transform from soft to rigid with an event, such as changing temperature. This makes them useful for a range of uses which include healthcare (pills that only work at certain temperatures) and fashion.
Another important technology for the future is edge computing, which permits data processing to be closer to where it was generated (ultra-low latency), achieves data sovereignty and improved security, and also reduces the cost of operating data centers. Edge computing is an important technology that will enable the Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT), autonomous vehicles, vision-guided robots, drones and AR/VR.
Space is another area where we are making huge progress. From reusable rockets to satellite technology, to the prospect of manned missions on Mars or other planets’ colonies. We are also developing technologies that will help us fight climate change including drought-resistant crops, forest fire sensors to carbon removal technology.
