5 Technologies That Will Reshape Humanities Future

In this article, we will explore five technologies that will genuinely change humanity over the next several years.

Virtual Reality (VR) / Augmented Reality (AR)

VR and AR technologies are in their infancy today. These powerful technologies will literally change the world around us. This technology allows us to interact with both the “real world” and a “computer-generated world” simultaneously. When this technology reaches its full potential, it will truly redefine what a computer is. VR will take us to computer-generated worlds and eliminate interactivity over distances. AR will bring new understanding to the real world with the power to overlay information, graphics, video over the real world.

3D Printing

3D printing is another technology that will change the world. 3D printing allows you to create products on-demand. 3D printing will enable ordinary people to create items as needed. 3D printers eliminate a lot of the waste generated by traditional manufacturing, making it a more efficient process. The technology is scalable and can be configured to work with a range of raw materials such as plastic, concert, metal and more. 3D printers can be built to scale. They can be as small enough to sit on your desk, or large enough to 3D print a house. 3D print technology will be instrumental in space exploration and colonization. The ability to create products on demand will reduce the amount of cargo that needs to be transported.

Blockchain Technology

Blockchain technology is changing the world even as we speak. This article is written using the blockchain. The blockchain enables secure, trackable transactions between parties like never before. The true power of the blockchain is that it is decentralized and does not require a 3rd party to process transactions. Everything is logged in the ledger, which makes the blockchain a more transparent way to perform transactions. The blockchain has enabled the creation of cryptocurrency, smart contracts, and even the Steemit platform. The blockchain technology will be the cornerstone of business, financial transactions, and trade of the future.

Drones

Drones, drones, drones everywhere we see drones. Who knew ten years ago the drone market would take off like it did. While drones have been around for some time now, they still have limited applications. Drones have revolutionized the military, photography, and exploration of the stars. In the near future, drones will be doing even more, like delivery services and police work. We can expect to see more drones entering event more aspects of our everyday life.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI is the all-consuming technology that will reinvent and rediscover the world in which we live. AI will bring all the other technologies discussed in this article together. Over the next several years, AI will become more and more powerful. AI will have the ability to analyze and understand the world like never before in history. AI will solve problems that humans never imagined with efficiency and accuracy. AI will be the gateway technology to bring us exciting new technologies like driving cars and robots that interact with humans.
