Technology can make our lives better, from improving health care with personalised diagnostics to providing a virtual tour of your home before you purchase. What technologies will make a huge impact on the future? This article examines 10 emerging trends that have the potential to transform our world.
The 3D printing technology was rumored to be the next big technology, but there are also some less-popular innovations that are on this list, such as clothes that shrink or increase in size with temperature and furniture that adapts to brain signals. It is also worth looking into the potential of shape memory polymers, which can transform from soft to hard with the trigger of the temperature changing, which is why they are useful in a variety of applications like healthcare (pills which only activate at a specific temperature) and fashion (clothes which tighten or become loose when exposed to cold).
Another crucial technology that is expected to emerge in the near future is edge computing, which allows data processing to be closer to where it was created (ultra-low latency) It also ensures data sovereignty and improved security, as well as reducing the costs of running data centers. Edge computing is a major technology that will enable the Industrial Internet-of-Things, autonomous vehicles drones, robotics with vision, drones, and AR/VR.
Space is another area where we are making huge progress. From reused rockets to satellite technology, to the possibility of crewed missions on Mars or other planets’ colonies. And naturally we continue to develop technologies that will help us mitigate climate change – from drought resistant crops to sensors for forest fires and carbon removal technology.
