Technology has become a significant part of today’s world. And a world without technology would look like a barren land. We cannot imagine a world without technology, as our world revolves around technology. Evolution has taken place in technology from the past to the present. Technology has taken the world to another level. In the next 20 years, it will shape the future. And such 20 technologies that would shape the future are listed below :
1. Human AI
AI is an Artificial Intelligence in the future that will take over humans in completing tasks within a short time. Human AI is a human-like Artificial Intelligence where the job will be done by AI rather than humans.
2. Self-Driven Car
Self-Driven car or Driverless car, where the control of the vehicle will be under software, no human has to operate it, the software will control the engine of the vehicle. Such Driverless cars will be available in the market in the future.
3. Nanorobotics
Nanorobotics is an evolving technology; it is in the phase of development and research. The word ‘nano’ indicates small and is a small robot-like machine. And in the medical industry, this technology was performed where nanorobotics detects the pathogen in the affected area and repair the wounds.
4. Holographic Interface
Holographic Interface technology displays a 3D illusion image of the surrounding. And the research says that it is of great importance as it will help users to view the image sharper than the glasses and lenses; without harming their eyesight.
5. Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)
Brain-computer Interface (BCI) is direct communication between the brain and computer. The computer analyses the brain’s signal and turns out into a command, and helps to detect early medical trauma or poor mental state.
6. Artificial Eye
An artificial Eye or a fake eye is a technology that uses a camera that helps the brain to stimulate the optic nerve of an eye and helps to see the world. Artificial Eye will be helpful for people who lost their eyesight naturally or by any incident.
7. Hyperloop
Elon musk and Space X have introduced Hyperloop technology, a high-speed transportation technology consists of long tunnel look blocks; with this technology, long distance will become short distance. Many companies have approved this technology and would like to collaborate with Elon for the development.
8. Advanced Robots
Advanced Robot is a technology where robots are advanced enough to perform a job independently without human input. As per the reports, this robot can feel human emotion. And in the future, the company will hire such robots as employees rather than humans.
9. Virtual Reality
Virtual Reality is a technology that creates a virtual environment in the surrounding, which can only experience by a VR headset. VR headset consists of a head-mounted display, which has a mini camera within it or designing a room with a large screen. VR applications are for video games, education, and business purpose. In the future, it will be a part of our life.
10. Google Glass
Google Glass is a pair of eyeglasses that has features similar to smartphones. These glasses have features identical to the Android operating system, helping the user to connect with the internet via a motion and voice recognition system. These glasses are helpful as they save time and money. These glasses are for professional use in factories, hospitals, etc.
11. Digital Twin
Digital Twin technology develops a virtual model of a real like physical system ( physical twin ) that will detect an individual as a whole. Applications of this technology are in the healthcare industry, where data from each organ help to identify the early cause and help the doctor and patient in the treatment.
12. Direct Air Capture
Direct Air Capture might be the most advanced technology, where carbon dioxide is captured from the atmosphere and stored deep underground. The stored co2 is used with hydrogen to produce synthetic fuel; it is in the developmental phase as the process is costly.
13. Solar Energy
Solar Energy is a process that converts sunlight into electrical energy through a photovoltaic panel or solar panel. And the power drawn from sunlight is stored in batteries or the form of thermal energy. Solar energy is a cheap, efficient, and renewable source of electricity.
14. 3D Printing
3D printing uses computer aid designed to create an object.3D Printing is low-cost, flexible, and less time-consuming. The application areas are constructing companies to print houses, in school to show images with more clarity, and in the medical industry to draw 3D printing bones. Certain companies use 3D printing as a prototype because of its faster and cheaper features. In the future, it will be of great importance.
15. Hydrogen Planes
Hydrogen planes technology uses hydrogen as fuel to fly planes. There will be carbon-free flies, as the process of extracting hydrogen is expensive, and the process is in the development stage.
16. Sand Batteries
Sand Batteries are also called Polar Night Energy. It uses low-cost solar and wind energy to heat the sand at a temperature of 500 celsius. The heat energy is stored and can utilize in houses in the winter season.
17. Space Mining
Asteroids are dangerous to earth and can be beneficial too. Asteroid mining or Space mining is a process of extracting water, earth metals, or other materials from an asteroid and bringing them to earth, which will be of great use.
18. Graphene
Graphene is a single-layer carbon atom with a hexagonal shape like a honeycomb; that can improve an existing material or replace it. Graphene is firmer and lighter than steel and is the first 2D material. Its applications areas are industries, electronics, transport, etc.
19. Xenotransplantation
Xenotransplantation is a procedure of implanting organs from a nonhuman source (animals )into a human body, like a pig heart that was transplanted into the human body and was alive for a few months. And it will increase organ supply and decrease the waitlist of patients who needs an organ supply.
20. Brick Storing Energy
Washington scientist St. Louis discovered that red bricks are the firmer to build houses. Red bricks are porous, can store energy, and are charged with solar panels, releasing energy in a significant amount to generate electricity.
