Technology makes our lives better from improving health care with personalised diagnostics to allowing you to take an interactive tour of your home prior to purchasing. What technologies are likely to have a major impact on the future? This article looks at 10 emerging trends with the potential to change our world.
The 3D printing process was believed to be the next big thing, but there’s also some less mainstream inventions on this list – like clothing that shrink or grow with temperature and furniture that adapts to a person’s brain signals. Shape memory polymers are also worth a look. They can transform from being soft to rigid upon an event such as changing temperature. This makes them useful for a range of uses such as healthcare (pills which only activate at certain temperatures) and fashion.
Another significant technology that is expected to emerge in the near future is edge computing, which allows data processing closer to where it originated (ultra-low latency) It also ensures data sovereignty and improved security, and reduces costs of running data centers. It is the key technology that will enable the Industrial Internet-of-Things, autonomous vehicles and drones that are vision-guided and AR/VR.
Space is a different area in which we are seeing extraordinary progress from reusable rockets to satellite technology to the possibility of astronauts on missions to Mars or other off-planet colonies. And Of course, we are continuing to develop technologies that will help us mitigate climate change, from drought resistant crops to forest fire sensors and carbon removal technology.
