9 Breakthroughs in Technology That Will Transform Your Future

Remember that time, a few years back, when we would imagine every sort of technology? Technology that can switch off the lights for us automatically, or a technology that can store our money digitally. Thanks to all the latest advances in this field, most of them are possible now.

Furthermore, the hustle-bustle of life has made us so dependent on them that we find it hard to imagine a life without all of these. From the wristwatch to the car we drive, everything in this era has been touched by technology bringing in many advantages. Solving the most menial tasks, technology is now an integral part of our lives.

In an ever-expanding world, you need to be on your toes to keep yourself updated with every latest trend. While technologies like Machine Learning and Big Data are grabbing most of the headlines, there are some other upcoming technologies in demand which you should be well aware of.

1. Internet of Things (IoT)

Simply put, IOT is connecting all the technological devices and appliances to the internet to blend the digital and physical worlds. Just imagine, your watch, your car, your refrigerator, all of them being connected to the internet.

2. Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is the protection of computer systems including hardware, software or electronic data from any damage or theft by cyber attacks. This prevents any unauthorized access to computer data and retains the confidentiality and integrity of data.

3. Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI is the intelligence shown by the machines similar to that of humans such as problem-solving, reasoning, learning, etc. Nowadays, we are already connected to this technology whether we talk about Siri, Alexa or IBM Watson.

4. Quantum Computing

Quantum computing is computer technology based on quantum theory. Quantum computers are based on qubits associated with the two principles of quantum physics: Superposition and Quantum Entanglement. Many companies like Google and IBM are promising to create powerful quantum computers in the future.

5. AR/VR (Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality)

Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality are different yet the same as they alter our perceptions of the world. 

AR implies the enhancement of reality by the addition of virtual elements on a live image, whereas VR means a complete inclusion in the virtual world that closes the real world.

6. Blockchain

Blockchain is a time-stamped series of immutable recorded data managed by multiple computers rather than any single entity. Each of these blocks of data is secured and bound to each other using cryptographic principles.

7. Nanotechnology

Technologies are being developed at microscale while retaining their enhanced features like 100% efficiency, light-weight, and higher strength.

8. Autonomous Car

Also known as a robotic car or driverless car, autonomous cars are capable of sensing their surroundings and performing without any human conduction. They entail excellent features like GPS, sensors, radar, sonar, inertial measurement skills, etc., which promise complete security.

9. Cryptocurrency

Digital currencies such as Bitcoin built with cryptographic protocols that make the financial transactions more secure and easier.

In this fast-paced economy, technology is developing rapidly and there is no sign of it stopping anytime soon. All these lately emerging technological trends amplify our ingenuity and productivity substantially in every aspect of modern life. So sass up in front of your peers and flaunt with your tech know-how!!
