Technology improves our lives by enhancing health care with personalised diagnostics to providing an interactive tour of your home prior to buying. But what technologies will impact the future? This article examines 10 emerging trends that have the potential to transform our world.
The 3D printing process was believed to be the next big thing, but there are several less mainstream innovations on this list – like clothes that shrink or expand as temperatures change and furniture which can adapt to a person’s brain signals. Shape memory polymers are also worth looking into. They can transform from soft to rigid with a trigger such as changing temperature. This makes them suitable for a wide range of applications which include healthcare (pills that only activate at certain temperatures) and fashion.
Another key technology that is expected to emerge in the near future is edge computing, which allows data processing closer to the place it was created (ultra-low latency) It also ensures data sovereignty and improved security, as well as reducing the costs of operating data centers. Edge computing is an important element of the Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT), autonomous vehicles, vision-guided robots drones, AR/VR, and drones.
Space is a third area where we are seeing remarkable advancements from reusable rockets to satellite technology to the prospect of astronauts on missions to Mars or other off-planet colonies. We are also developing technology to combat climate change including drought-resistant crops, sensors for forest fires and carbon removal technology.
