Technology can make our lives better by enhancing health care by providing personalised diagnostics, to providing a virtual tour of your home prior to buying. What technologies will shape the future? This article explores 10 emerging trends that could have the Continue potential to transform our world.
3D printing might be the technology was widely anticipated to be the next big thing however this list includes some less mainstream innovations, like clothing that expand or shrink in response to temperature, and furniture that adjust to an individual’s brain signals. It is also worth thinking about the potential of shape memory polymers, which can change from soft to hard upon an event, such as a temperature change which makes them useful in a wide range of applications, including healthcare (pills which only activate at a specific temperature) and fashion (clothes that tighten up or become loose when exposed to cold).
Edge computing is yet another significant technology of the future. It allows data processing to be closer to where they were generated (ultra low latency) It also provides enhanced security and data sovereignty, and lowers the operating costs of data centres. Edge computing is a key driver of the Industrial Internet-of-Things, autonomous vehicles and drones that are vision-guided and AR/VR.
Space is a third area where we are seeing remarkable advancements in the area of reusable rockets, satellite technology to the prospect of astronauts on missions to Mars or other off-planet colonies. We are also developing technologies to help fight climate change such as drought-resistant plants to forest fire sensors to carbon removal technology.
