Did you guys remember the time when we used to watch movies
on DVDs and CD players, but that has changed because now we have everything at
our fingertip, thank to technology and technological advancements that have
changed our lives and never stops surprising us. With this in mind let take a
look at top ten technologies that will change our world in future.

| Virtual Reality |
10. Array of Things (AoT)
Have you wondered what would happen if you had all the
information about your city like whether
you need an umbrella today, the best route to take out of traffic jam
and the most peaceful park to visit for getting some fresh air. Now having such
information would definitely makes our life easier. AoT or Array of Things is
one such project that is aiming to develop such smart cities using a network of
sensors, now these sensors are going to collect real time data about the
environment like temperature, climate and basically every activity happening in
your city. It is then going to provide data to the residence and policy makers
so that city can offer better services. Now currently this project is being
implemented in Chicago where the sensors are mounted on towers, electric poles,
traffic signals and everywhere around the city. Now these sensors are built to
understand daily challenges that people can face like air pollution, traffic
and natural calamities and the goal is to fix the problem by improving the
surrounding on the basis of data that are received from sensors. Now if some
dealing with asthma and wants to avoid polluted air, the sensors can warn him
about the area that has bad air quality.
9. Genetic Fortune Telling
Next I am going to talk about genetic fortune telling. In
near future there a time will come in which a new born baby will receive first
report card as soon as they are born. Now this is like an ordinary report card,
it is a DNA report that will predict new ones IQ, hobby, interest and more
importantly the chances of getting heart attack, acquiring cancer, taking
drugs, etc. The genetic Fortune Teller basically analyzes the pattern of genes
to make predictions after this it will generate polygenic risk score which will
create the probability of acquiring major diseases. Now this technology needs a
little more advancement in order to be more precise about prediction. But in
near future we will definitely witness how genetic fortune telling will be
great public health advancement.
8. Hyper-loop
What do you say if I say to travel 600 miles in just 30
minutes? First thing that will pop in your mind is probably time portals. But I
am talking about hyper-loop. A hyper-loop is a super high speed transportation
system. In this system the pod carrying passengers travel through tubes or
tunnels from which most of the air has been removed to reduce friction. Rather
than using wheels like a train or car, the pods are designed to float on air
rails. First this idea was conceived by Elon Musk in 2012 and later in 2014 in
company called virgin hyper-loop one started working on project. Now currently
building the hyper-loop is based on simple principles that we learned in 8th
standard physics. First principle is magnetic levitation where two sets of
magnets are used. First magnet is used to repel train from the track and second
is to move floating train along the track at a considerable speed. Now the
second principle is to remove the most of the air from the loop in order to
reduce air resistance. By using these simple two rules hyper-loop can
revolutionize the transportation system.
7. Self Driving Cars
Do you alcohol limitless and want to drive your car
driverless, take a relax at backside of your car. What about if I tell you take
rest at back of your car and your car will drive to you at work. I am talking
about self driving cars which are the future of personal transportation. They
operate without any human control and it is good thing, according to a recent
survey approximately 94 % of accidents occurs due to human errors. Now this
technology has been implemented by various companies one of which is Tesla.
Tesla self driving cars employs hi-tech cameras as car’s eye to navigate the
car and monitor the surroundings in order to prevent collision. Now this
technology is also beneficial for under privileged age people who cannot drive.
6. 3D Printer
Have you have dreamt of a toy factory, well 3D printers are
going to fulfill our wish. 3D printers are the machines that makes the copies
of anything only this time in 3D. Now 3D printers are already in use for
building jewels and practically anything. This technology is developing
advancements in speed and material capability after which it will revolutionize
the manufacturing units and near future we will also see 3D printers which will
bring the huge change in field of agriculture.
5. Commercial Space Exploration
This technology is one of my favorite one. Now with
commercial space exploration which is one of most awaited technological
advancements by which we can now go on vacations to outer space. Now space-x is
sending two tourist to moon which will be first commercial space trip for
vacation. Of course ticket will be going to expensive but who doesn’t like
adventure.
4. 5th Gen Wireless
Next technology is 5th generation wireless mobile
networks which will provide ten time faster communication and it can handle
thousand time more traffic than usual LTE. Let me tell you the astonishing fact
about this technology. Expected maximum speed for this network is 20 GB/sec.
Now this is sufficient to download 10 movies in one second. Now unlike before when mobile networks were used to handle cell
phones to which we just browse the web and send few text messages but time has
changed. Now we have HD streaming smart phones, smart watches, self driving
cars and other appliances which requires a better and faster network connection
like 5th gen wireless network.
3. Computer Vision
The main aim to use this technology is to see the visual
world and interpreted as human world. Let me tell you that we have surpassed
this goal and through computer vision machines can see things that human cannot
such as temperature, air qualities and etc. Now in recent years a lot of
advancement in computer vision especially in field of image processing. Now
this is using in self driving car apart from that the filter used on instagram
pictures are also a part computer vision. This is one of the fastest growing
technology in today’s modern world. Further advancement in this technology will
definitely trains the computers to do every things.
2. Generative Adversarial Network.
Have even been fooled into buying a fake pair of shoes?
While generative adversarial network are just like the shopkeepers who generate
fake copies of shoe and you are discriminator network that tries to distinguish
between fake and branded shoes. Now the basic idea behind this technology is
for generate a model to try to trick the discriminate a model. Now it does by
creating and refining styles until a discriminator model can no longer spot the
difference between a generated fake object and the real object. This new
technology can be used to create new enemy character based on existing
character and most importantly it can be used to train a self driving car by
creating fake accident scenarios and train it to avoid such situations. Now
such an advancement will definitely make a self driven car are the future of
personal transportation system.
1. Mixed Reality
This technology is going to change the whole world. Mixed
reality is the merging of real and virtual world to produce new environment and
visualizations by physical and digital object that can co-exist and interact in
real time. Past few decades of computing and internet have been limited to flat
2D screens in laptops tablets etc. but the rise of mixed reality means that
society will soon move beyond this screen by user interface won’t be a flat piece
of glass but the physical 3D space in which we live and move around. The famous
example of mixed reality is pokemon go in which millions of people go miles of
away to capture digital monsters. With
this technology the meaning of entertainment will be changed.
