Technology has made our lives easier and better, from improving health care by providing personalised diagnostics to providing an online tour of your home before you buy. What technologies will shape the future? This article examines 10 emerging trends with the potential to change our world.
The 3D printing technology was thought to be the next big thing, but there’s other less well-known inventions on this list – like clothes that shrink or grow with temperature and furniture that can be adapted to brain signals. It is also worth thinking about the potential of shape memory polymers that can change from soft to hard upon an event, such as the temperature changing and are therefore useful in a wide range of applications, including healthcare (pills that only work at a specific temperature) and fashion (clothes that tighten up or become loose when exposed to cold).
Edge computing is another important technology that is expected to emerge in the near 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 operating costs for data centers. Edge computing is a major element of the Industrial Internet-of-Things, autonomous vehicles drones, robotics with vision, drones and AR/VR.
Space is another area where we are making huge advancements. From spacecrafts that can be reused to satellite technology, to the prospect of crewed missions on Mars or other planets’ colonies. And obviously, we are continuing to develop technologies that help us fight climate change – from drought-resistant crops to sensors for forest fires and carbon removal technology.
