Five Emerging technologies Could Transform Our Future.

in #science8 years ago

The world is changing fast. Faster than any time in the human history, for example we see changes in education, agriculture, energy, banking, health and even in fashion. There is hardly anything that is not changing. But all these changes would not be possible without one “ingredient”. The technology.

Here is our selection of top emerging technologies, five technologies that will affect your life – within the next five years – without a shadow of a doubt.

INTERNET OF THINGS - IOT

This term is one of the things that has emerged recently and burst into our lives suddenly and gradually. In the Wikipedia, the concept of "Internet of things" is:

"The new generation of Internet (network) that allows understanding between interconnected devices (via the Internet Protocol). These devices include instruments, sensors, various artificial intelligence tools and others. "

Simply Internet of things means that most of the things we use on a daily basis will become connected to the Internet, and we will deal with them digitally, without the need to use traditional methods, these things come from smart clocks that have become very important in our lives, through the clothes we wear, furniture, human organs, even toothbrushes and cooking utensils...

According to the sites Business Insider and Gartner, it is expected that by 2020, the size of the Internet market will be greater than the market for mobile phones, computers and tablets combined. Where the number of Internet devices will reach 35 billion devices connected to the Internet, and Internet market revenues will reach more than $ 600 billion by the same year.

This technology will enable us to do all the work in a smarter and faster way and will affect the process of collecting personal data related to a given activity, as well as recognizing the effectiveness of this activity and the overall impact on the lifestyle of individuals. There are currently hundreds of Internet-based products that emphasize the extent to which this technology has control over the future, and for example :

  • Smart toothbrush: A smart toothbrush connected to the mobile phone, and then you follow the process of cleaning your teeth effectively, with an easy and enjoyable system and periodic tips to improve your teeth cleaning habits and other wonderful things!

  • The mother machine: a set of sensitive sensors placed in the home, and connected to a device connected directly to your mobile phone, gives you full reports of what happened in your home at the time of your absence, the income and out, when your children returned from school and all things you care, durable by this device.

  • Hue Personal wireless lighting: one of the outstanding devices produced by Philips, which is a collection of LED lamps that connect together and enables the user through the mobile phone to control the lighting or not, the colors of lighting and also strength and brightness, etc ; t is an integrated lighting system.

  • My Fox Group: consists of five devices that connect together and work as a private guard for your home and you can buy each device alone, they record all the movements and actions in your home, and tell you, as well as a smart alarm and other devices you can discover yourself.

  • Sports T-shirt: A T-shirt with sensors that track your athletic activity, analyze your performance, your physical activity, breathing and heartbeat by contacting your mobile phone.

There are many, many other products that demonstrate the success of this purification, and it will also be one of the most important trends in shaping the digital future.

BIG DATA

In the midst of the technological development we are experiencing now, there is a big amount of data being collected every moment, making the task of dealing with this data very difficult, which led to the emergence of the term "big data" and is meant by the Wikipedia site:

"Is a term of data sets that are so large and complex that traditional data processing applications, challenges include capture, duration, storage, research, participation, transport, analysis and visualization. "

And because the data is very large and very complicated, you need to use non-byte, megabyte, gigabyte... etc, to measure up 280 bytes, which is a big number.

Since 2012, they made more than 1.2 gigabytes of data per year, equivalent to 10^21 bytes, or enough to fill 80 billion iPhone 16GB devices, each one of us generates 2.2 million terabytes of data on a daily basis, and there are 12 Terabytes of tweets a day on Twitter with 25 terabytes of Facebook access logs.

Big data has three characteristics: the size, the size of the data we launch or create, the diversity of the structure and configuration of such data, and the speed with which data collection and configuration occur.

Furthermore the importance of big data is the volume of data that can be grouped around specific people and objects, which will enhance the ability of companies to make effective decisions that increase the growth and success of the company relying on actual figures and facts from actual users, and the biggest companies with a large number of users, such as Facebook, Twitter and others, collect and match millions of images and tweets, and big numbers of data every single second.

Artificial intelligence

Imagine that there is a robot who helps you in the house, plays chess with you and can not win it, performs operations of surgery without fail,solving complex mathematical problems, explaining purely scientific theories, then you will be astounded of course, but all this with artificial intelligence will become available, seeking scientists to enable the robot to do Human functions with the same degree of intelligence.

A digital revolution in machine science, consider by some that it's a part of computer science or rather robotics, but even more, it has come to rely on this field in all walks of life, and Wikipedia defines it as:

The specific behavior and characteristics of software that make it simulate human mental capacities and modes of action, one of the most important features is the ability to stufy, infer and react the situations that have not been programmed into the machine. However, this term is controversial because there is no specific definition of intelligence.

There are daily discoveries in the field of robotics and artificial intelligence, through which humans can build an automated person who can deal with people and perform certain functions in an excellent and highly rewarding manner, he has the ability to study anything, the ability to think and use language in formulating ideas, scientists predict that in the coming decades, robots will break into our daily lives and become an integral part of them as the computer did and began to spread in the early 1980s and contribute to many fields and industries.

Examples of ribs that rely on the artificial intelligence system, and are the smartest robots that have been manufactured so far : Robot Atlas of the development Boston Dynamics subsidiary of Google with the support of the United States as well.

The robot ASIMO

The robot Romeo, which is considered the size of a small child and is considered to be the leading robotics in the field of personal care and assistance.

Augmented Reality

One of the most exciting new technologies, a modern information technology that can transform the real image into a virtual image on the computer screen, for example, human hand movement in front of a small camera can become a movement of a mythical animal on a computer screen.

This technology can transform real objects into simulated virtual objects, by they figures, people, or anything else. This technology will make things around us more interactive and more fun as well as major companies such as Microsoft are developing products that are fully functional. This technology will fully integrate the digital world with the real world and a new way to transform our ideas into visual objects as well as the way we interact with each other.

For example, the Holograms technology, which Microsoft has relied on to develop its flagship product Holograms augmented-reality headset,

Nanotechnology

Which is known as nanotechnology technology, is one of the most recently developed and widely disseminated technologies. It deals with very small components, which are measured by a special scale called the nanometer, which includes dimensions of one nanometer to 100 nanometers in length. There are two main factors that make the properties of these nanomaterials different and distinct: their quantum effect and structure. The handling of materials on this micro scale provides very large advantages resulting from the small working space.

The article is over, and now it's your turn, Do you think there are other trends that will change the world in the coming decades?
