Technology has become a way of life. We simply cannot live without them, can we? But ever wondered where it is headed, if so then you are here for a sweet treat.
Here is the list of 10 greatest technologies which holds potential to bring disruptive change the world:
- Artificial Intelligence: In the last decade, artificial intelligence has gone from a science-fiction dream to a reality. AI has already changed the world in so many ways and we want it or not it has already become a part of our life, be it for the email authentication or the auto suggestion in our gmail somewhere, somehow AI is there. But will it change the world more than it has already? And the answer is a huge yes. AI has a lot more potential and we are sure that we are going to see some amazing proof of this statement in the near future.
- Blockchain: When we hear the term Blockchain, most of us assume that we are talking about bitcoins or any other cryptocurrency but Blockchain is so much more than just that. Like AI it has also started changing the world and yes cryptocurrency is a good example of it. But what else is it capable of? Before dwelling into this question I would like to clarity on what blockchain really is. Blockchain is a whole new technology. It is a sequence of blocks or groups of transactions that are chained together and distributed among the users and simply stated , it is a decentralized network. This being said, blockchain is a technology with an exceptionally broad set of potential uses and many of them has already been explored, like smart contract,identity management and we can surely expect to see more of them in future.
- Graphene: Graphene has been called a miracle material for its extra-ordinary properties. It is strongest material known to exist, lighter than paper with extraordinary electrical properties and highly elastic. It has already started being used in sports gadgets, in batteries, watches and a lot more to make the product more durable . Vigorous research is being done in this material and we can surely expect to see some miracle inventions being made from this miracle material.
- Augmented / Artificial / Virtual Reality: Virtual Reality has evolved a lot in the past few decades and the world has already seen some amazing applications like to train soldiers in a simulated battlefield, to treat post-traumatic stress, in cinemas for immersion and a lot more. This time is a very exciting era for Virtual Reality but the experts in this field claims that there is much more to achieve in this field.
- 5G: 5G is the term used to describe the next-generation of mobile networks. According to ITU guidelines, ” 5G network speeds should have a peak data rate of 20 Gb/s for the downlink and 10 Gb/s for the uplink. Latency in a 5G network could get as low as 4 milliseconds in a mobile scenario and can be as low as 1 millisecond in Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication scenarios.” 5G is likely to be the platform based on which the future is built.
So it seems like the future of world seems to hold a lot of promises when it comes to technology and that makes us luckiest people to be living in the best time in the history to see and observe this amazing technological development.
