Back To The Future: 8 Trending Tech

These technologies are becoming increasingly popular within the entertainment industry with the positive prospects around to 215 billion by 2021 in the market. Tech industry also developing VR/AR technologies to integrate with their product offerings. VR and AR are most noticed for their capabilities to leveling up the entertainment industry for example in the gaming section companies. They start developing their interactive gaming include allowing players to fight against Zombie in apocalypse setting. Now, healthcare, travel, education, architectural design, sports, and more are starting to include VR in their products.

The best of it, construction industry is also aligned with the development of VR, AR, and MR or mixed reality. Those related software able to help architects and 3D designers design their projects, which enable to showcasing their clients and shareholders in real time with new experience. 

3D printing is already changing many things and set to continue. Nowadays, we step into producing cars by simply printing it. We also able to print settlements, space-stations, furniture, utensils, transportation, clothes, games, food, body-parts, and a long list of other assets. This list of printable items also expands to include glass, soybean base, wood filler, icing sugar, metal, rubber even food ingredients.

Elon Musk’s Space X also used 3D printing to create the engine chambers of their spacecraft. It took only 3 months to go from concept to completion. 3D printing claimed to reduce much much time to produce which increase productivity. Singapore Airlines Engineering Company, which has partnered with Stratasys also use the trick. Singapore Airlines is considering opening a facility to look into the benefits of manufacturing aircraft and the future benefits of manufacturing using 3D printers. In construction epertise, 3D printing is starting to develop and allow basic housing and buildings to be built with less than $2000 USD. The construction industry is realizing the benefits of more efficient use of resources, less wastage, less pollution and its eco-friendly impact on the environment. 3D printing houses is also usable to provide houses in disaster area and refugees.

AI technology offer solution to make our lives easier and already integrated into everyday life. You probably now experiencing self-serve checkouts, online support, and other roles using AI. Machines with AI learning can often act and react like humans only if they have the exact information. That’s why machine learning is the core part of developing AI. Artificial intelligence is used when machines copy the cognitive functions of human brain in learning and capable to solve much problems. As machines become increasingly capable, other facilities are removed from the definition. Robotics is the major field related to AI. Robots require intelligence to handle tasks such as object manipulation and navigation, along with sub-problems of localization, motion planning and mapping. These robots can perform tasks that were previously thought to be too hard or expensive to automate.

Society could benefit a lot when it comes to these technologies. But, it is also come with expensive price, like the number of jobs that will replace humans in order to minimize the cost using AI and robot. We should see this opportunity to create a better world by combining the robot and human intelligence. 

Fossil fuels are non-renewable, which becoming too expensive and too damaging the environment. The generation of energy from renewable sources such as solar and wind is considered disruptive when compared with traditional ones. As people start to noticing the impact of global warming, renewable energy could minimize climate change and pollution at a global scale. Many types of renewable energy resources are constantly replenished and will never run out such as the sun or solar energy. It can be used directly for heating and lighting for generate electricity, hot water heating and cooling that can be used at buildings.

Another sources, the wind, generate the wind turbines which also can produce electricity and generate productivity. Renewable energy also includes technological inventions such as photo voltaic cells, concentrated solar power, geothermal energy, ocean wave power among others. Renewable energy is another great example of disruptive technology which could help accelerate sustainable development.

The prospect of a computer-driven car has excited commentators for decades. Google’s self-driving car project bringing the idea to a more mainstream audience when it burst onto the scene in 2009. That project has since been spun off into its own company called Waymo, existing under Google’s firm Alphabet. But despite nearly 10 years of active development, and over 10 million miles, Waymo is still compatible for people around a small area of Arizona. 

High-speed travel could also relieve over-crowded cities by decreasing carbon pollution and the need for urbanisation. Elon Musk, founder of the Hyperloop, intends to make this a reality before 2020, and has closed a deal of $80 million funding that includes investment from several other companies. This emerging technology will surely implemented on a mass scale and could solve many complex distance issues. 

Space-based tourism has no obvious external benefit for the society but the actual travel would be revolutionary since many things has not been discovered yet. Space tourism is a lark. It’s something for very rich people to do with their money for fun. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has literally said that the only way to deploy financial resource is by converting Amazon winnings into space travel race competition. Bezos also said he believes that his rocket company, Blue Origin, has important contribution to society. But, we all know that space tourism will only can be afford by extremely wealthy people.

The use and the functionality of edge devices will increase. Internet of things is the concept of basically connecting any device with an on and off switch to the Internet. This connecting everything from cellphones, coffee makers, washing machines, headphones, lamps, wearable devices and almost anything else you can think of. Internet of Things facilitate better connectivity to remote. Internet of Things develop between things and other things, things and people, and people and other people. Future developments could see our cars connect with our calendars to navigate automatically to our destination along the optimal route, or our fridge ordering groceries when it detects a given food item is close to depletion.

On a more global scale, IoT will significantly transition us into “smart cities”. With the help of sensors, IoT will make our cities more efficient, cost-effective, and safer places in which to live. It would require some of our existing infrastructure to be replaced. We also can expect the healthcare sector, to be more improved at diagnoses, treatments, and predictive health monitoring.

Iron Man is the super hero we desperately want to have. Tony Stark created a world-beating suit while being beaten in a cave with a single hammer, Stark is also super rich, which bring real-life innovators and billionaire to following his step and create everything from rocket flying packs to giant robotic suits. 

The exoskeletal device was actually tested by a team from GE and the US military in the 1960s, those first “exosuits” have failed to materialize because of weight, mobility, and its power limitations. In early 2018, FDA approved the Japanese-created Hybrid Assisted Limb exoskeleton. As the popularity of exoskeletons grows, it aim to be the physical rehabilitation purposes, new cybernetic treatment centers will be developed in parallel where specialists can safely use on patients. Interest from both entrepreneurs and venture capitalists seeking to profit from this budding trend will prove to be an important catalyst in the technology’s growth as more start-ups are created and investments pour in.

In terms of industry applications, car manufacturer Ford recently deployed exoskeletons in 15 of its assembly plants to improve worker safety and productivity. And in the military domain, Lockheed Martin developed the Fortis exoskeletons system in 2014 for US troops to lighten the loads they carry. More manufacturers will follow Ford’s example by introducing and integrating exoskeletons in their production processes. New technologies such as artificial intelligence will also help address previously difficult design challenges such as functionality, weight, and mobility.  Russia and China are similarly working to develop their own “special forces exoskeletons.”
