How will technology change our lives in twenty years?
As we all know that the technology is increasing by leaps and bounds. Technology has completely changed our lives and comfort .We know that the existence of takshila university which was one of the earliest in the world included the study of physics ,chemistry, medical, astrology , astronomy etc .Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru initiated the higher science and technology in india. In next 20 years we will be fully dependent on technology.
In 1951, the first IIT was established at kharagpur to increase the importance of technology and education. Now we know that I7 processor in laptops are available but in future I9 & I11 processor will be available which executes the instruction very fast .It will be just work like a multiprocessor Operating system. Today’s when we want something we walk to kitchen and then take it but in future we will take the same through technology by remote or Infrared radiation .We know that in motorcycle first came 2 stroke engine then 4 stroke, now in 20 years 8 stroke engine will come which takes 2 stroke each for 1 process.
We use that fuel which causes lots of air pollution but in future fuel will be finished then we will use bio fuel which will not cause air pollution .Technology will have increased to such an extent that we can do anything. The importance of Artificial Intelligence(AI) will be increased. In computer science, Artificial intelligence(AI), sometimes called machine intelligence, is the intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans.
The term artificial intelligence is used to describe the machines/computers that mimic cognitive functions that humans associate with other human minds such as learning and problem solving. Now consider the 20 years to 2019. Back in 1999 we were in the early days of the internet. we worked in big computers and powered by windows 95.There were no touch screen phones or flat screen TVs.
The rise of artificial intelligence will see between 40 and 70 million workers lose their job across the next decade and the situation grows even worse for many low skilled workers in the coming years. One of the most well known areas of technological advancement in recent years has been the development of driverless vehicle which have been pioneered by major technology groups such as Google and Uber, which has been well publicised but also creates a different choice for consumers who must place their trust in latest technology.
Virtual reality is already having an effect on the lives of millions of people around the world but a change in the way we play games in 2019 is having an effect on how the gaming industry is evolving for the future.
Futurists can do formal studies in Futures and related topics, although most of us have multi-disciplinary academic backgrounds. We can also be part of a number of professional associations that help us develop our skills and network with some of the best in the business. Obviously, it’s quite easy to identify the good futurists — you just need to evaluate the track record of their predictions. And you can also look at the detail they give in their future scenarios, and whether they’re able to make these valuable and applicable to our world today (this separates the science fiction writers from the professional futurists).
It could be argued that we’re already technically cyborgs (part machine / part humans) as we keep our mobile phones, which are technically super computing devices that is at all times less than an arm’s length away from us at all times. They might as well be implanted — and they probably soon will be. As robotics develop, we will integrate them into our lives and then implant them too. But even if that’s a step too far for some people, we will use the Internet of Things to connect ourselves more and more to the digital devices in our lives, making our homes, cars, offices, cities and environment smarter and smarter.
We’ve been wreaking havoc on Earth for a long time and the planet can only put up with mankind’s destructive nature for so long. If we don’t destroy it, we’ll one day outgrow it. Plans are in the works to colonise other planets and Mars will no doubt be the first port of call. With leaps forward in technology, this vision of the future is quickly becoming science-fact, rather than science-fiction.
NASA is already sending robots of different shapes and sizes into space. As technology progresses, this makes sense. Robots don’t need to worry about oxygen to breathe or food to eat and they can be packed full of sensors to send data back to Earth. The same applies in the workplace. Robots can take on the more difficult, dangerous and dull jobs to save mankind the trouble and risk. They can also theoretically operate more quickly, efficiently and with fewer mistakes too.
Electric Cars are nothing new; they’ve been on our roads for some time now and they’re only getting better. Car batteries are lasting longer, the charging station infrastructure is growing and self-driving technology is being heavily invested in meaning it’s coming sooner than you probably think. Tesla already has a complex Autopilot mode that can take over some driving controls, but one-day car manufacturers hope to let us go completely hands-free.
Augmented Reality, or AR, has some incredible potential. It’s been around for a while now, in the form of various apps that can overlay information around you and is different from VR because it overlays information rather than simply put you in a virtual reality.
Companies are experimenting with using both augmented reality and virtual reality devices in the workplace. They can be used in a variety of ways including visual representations of blueprints, virtual scale models of products in development or for simple things like virtual team meetings
And what a time to be a leader in the world. We need to recognise that we live at a time of deep structural change, and that we must prepare for a future that will be unlike the past. This requires confronting limiting orthodoxies, accelerating creativity and innovation, and changing not just products and processes but entire business models as well. We’re always changing, and so is the world. But sometimes the constant march of change beats to a different drum — and takes a different path. When the music changes, so must we.
