Technology is improving ever faster and every year offers all kinds of new innovations and revolutionary projects. At any given moment, scientists, engineers and some very sharp minds are certainly busy creating very special future (computer) technologies that will change our lives considerably.
It can sometimes feel like scientific progress is slow, but we've definitely been through a period of significant technological advancement over the past half century.
The development of all these new technologies is also expected to continue to radically change the world as we know it. For example, what you saw in a science-fiction film years ago is becoming a reality more and more quickly.
We will discuss below some important and very interesting emerging technologies of the future that are sure to change our human society.
Blockchain
Is this the holy grail of future security? Blockchain is the Technology used by cryptocurrency. Bitcoin and Ethereum in particular are taking the lead when it comes to their popularity.
Although cryptocurrencies are the most popular application of blockchain, its possibilities are limitless. Blockchain technology can also be used to secure medical records, real estate transactions, voting and elections, taxes and so on. This technology has the potential to eliminate all digital corruption, data loss and theft!
Personal digital assistants
Hey Google, take care of all my chores for today! Ok, maybe this isn't possible yet... and maybe we should never get to a point where a personal digital assistant could replace all of our activities. But the capabilities of these assistants are becoming more and more impressive.
However, Google is not the only player in this market. For example, there's also Amazon's Alexa, Apple's Siri, and Samsung's Bixby. The amount of cash these big companies are putting into this Technology shows how much they are betting it will be a huge success in the future!
Cloud and Remote Computing
Investing in a new Computer is no longer always necessary, as more and more applications are now running in a web browser on a company's private servers. This means that your computer no longer needs to be so advanced to do your job.
Plus everything is processed remotely. You just need a good internet connection and a Computer that can run a web browser. Some simple online applications are the Microsoft Office Suite and Google Docs.
The future is exciting!
We are entering an era where all this advanced Technology will help us overcome the many challenges we currently face. They will also create new jobs, while others may be obsolete…
The most important aspect of developing and using all this new (computer) technology is of course that it is used to make our lives and societies a lot better. And that everyone can benefit from this pleasantly!
