Our relationship with technology has been increasingly intense and fluid on a daily basis. There are still people who are not – or do not feel – dependent on smartphones, for example, but they are a minority. Even more with the advent of devices from the “Internet of Things”, technology will be increasingly present in people’s daily lives, modifying and imposing behaviors, tastes, etc. Even lottery providers such as Lottoland are benefiting from the advancement of technologies today.
We provide you with a list of 10 new technologies can we expect in the next few years and how they will change the way we live.
Drones as a delivery method
Currently, the biggest problem for drones to finally start making deliveries is legislation, but we should point out that soon, they can be used for deliveries in hospitals, for example. However, this type of service will not be widely used for many tasks, such as pizza delivery, for example.
Spaceships to Mars
While people are already preparing for a one-way trip to Mars, by 2030 trips to the red planet will already be possible. This also bodes well for Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who wants to send people there in 2024.
“First, we’ll see some people going to Mars, then robots will make some materials [on the planet],” Pearson said.
Up to 5% of products will be 3D printed
The use of three-dimensional printers by the end consumer did not grow as expected, but the industry adopted this idea as a simple and quick way to introduce new products to the market.
Research indicates that by 2030 at least 5% of manufactured products will be printed using 3D printers. It is a technology whose costs fall each year while the possibilities of use only increase.
It is estimated that 50% of internet traffic will come from automated devices
The number of items that are connected inside homes is increasing. TVs, refrigerators, microwaves, and everything else you can imagine can be connected to the internet and controlled by your cell phone.
The flow of data resulting from the traffic of these devices is expected to grow exponentially and represent up to 50% of the flow of information in the next decade.
You’ll have a supercomputer in your pocket by 2023
The processing capacity of a smartphone is today many times greater than that of the computers that were responsible for taking man to the moon. The power of the devices we have in our pocket is already equivalent to that of many desktops and notebooks.
If things keep goin at the same pace, by mid-2023 at least 90% of the population will have a device with processing power equivalent to that of a 2018 supercomputer.
About 80% of the world’s population will be present on the internet
The internet will be even more present in the lives of a greater number of people. It is estimated that 80% of the world’s population – which will represent 6.4 billion people in 2024 – will have a digital identity.
This means not only access to the internet, but the use of social networks and other services that can give “authenticity” to a digital life.
Even reading glasses will be connected
Yes, that’s right. You know the glasses you wear when you want to read a little? It is estimated that 10% of them will be connected to the internet by 2023. Among the features that these accessories will bring, we can mention virtual reality and augmented reality experiences.
In addition, through visual tracking tools it will be possible to turn pages without using your hands.
Smartphones can be implanted in the body
It may seem strange at first, but so-called “bionic men” already exist out there. These are people who use smart prostheses or who have chips in their bodies capable of sending and receiving relevant information about the patient’s health.
Don’t think of implantable smartphones as a huge cell phone attached to your arm, but as small chips that can easily integrate with other devices.
At least 10% of people will wear smart clothes by 2023
Will things really change that much in the next few years? Experts believe that within that time frame, at least 10% of the world’s population will have a piece of clothing that comes with a chip.
This chip can be used to transmit the most diverse types of information via the internet and you can access all this from your cell phone.
Travel with Hyperloop will be possible
We’ve seen that the Hyperloop One, Elon Musk’s supersonic train, is already being produced and tested in the United States. Pearson says that five or six years from now we could see this type of system working to transport people between cities.
It seems like fiction movies are really starting to happen.
