The world of modern technology does not stand still. Scientists in various fields are constantly trying to improve and facilitate even the simplest moments in our lives. In this article, we are presenting the 10 most promising technologies that will find application in a wide range of areas and fields of life.

Cloud Gaming

This is a technology for running a computer game using a remote server without the actual involvement of the user’s device. The principle is as follows: the server directs audio and video streams to the player, while the user controls all processes within the game from their computer. This feature will allow so-called “cloud gamers” to not only have access to many of the most modern games, but also to save a lot of money on expensive advanced hardware. Thanks to streaming, you can even play games on your TV, even with insanely high graphics and system requirements. It is predicted that by 2024 the number of cloud games will increase tenfold.

Computer Vision

One of the significant developments of our time is the artificial intelligence function that is responsible for analysing images and video content. This function uses photo and video equipment and special software to perform this function. The whole system is responsible for identifying objects in the analyzed content. With identification, classification and analysis of data by this system many areas and directions can be improved. As an example, the spheres of security, industry, trade, medicine, leisure, transport, and many other no less important social and economic directions are given.

Computer Simulations

Computer simulations cannot be called a totally innovative development or something that humanity has not yet been intimately familiar with. But at the same time, the current realities are such that this trend is of incredible importance for the entire planet. Modern virtual “laboratories” are used to assess risks and find solutions for all kinds of cataclysms and crises that are increasingly engulfing the world. The simulation of all possible outcomes allows not just to simulate the situation with all possible variables, but also to consider the outcomes of different solutions and their effectiveness. And then based on all the data obtained, the best possible decision can be made in the shortest possible time.

Crispr and Gene Therapy to Extend Life Expectancy

Stories of perpetual youth sound like the plot of a fantasy bestseller. But we live in a time when scientists are being given incredible sums of money to study all sorts of questions and it would be strange if the question of longevity were left aside. Today it is not yet possible to stop aging, but it is already realistic to slow it down significantly. Gene therapy is a technology by which a genetic construction is inserted into cells that need correction (that is, those that do not function properly genes or they are absent at all). Also known is the CRISPR-Cas9 method, which edits the DNA sequence of the cells. It is by far the most advanced solution for fighting genetic diseases. And its constant development and refinement make it more accessible and easier to use for large populations.

Cellular Technology in Creating the Food of the Future

Today, humanity can already produce meat, fish and dairy products without using animals. So-called cellular farming is a way of taking food production out of the hands of others. In addition, modern scientists are recreating meat-like proteins using plants. These, in turn, are as identical as possible to naturally occurring protein cells.

Subcutaneous Microchips

The news of the creation of microchips swept the world and received mixed reviews: some saw it as technological progress, while others saw it as a universal conspiracy theory. According to the information provided by the scientists involved in the development, subcutaneous microchips are the technology of the future, which is intended to help people. For instance, the implanted chip will be able to give detailed information for ambulance service about the patient – insurance policy, blood group, allergies, chronic diseases etc. This way, doctors will be able to get more information and not lose precious time to determine this data on their own. For the time being, this functionality is still under development, but already today, microchips can be used to pay for purchases, travel on public transport, and act as an e-wallet.

Writing Data in DNA

The speed of humanity’s content creation is incredible and intangible. The most powerful computers with huge storage capacities are already being used to store it. But the study of the structure of man and nature has established that DNA is the most capacious storage medium known to date. According to studies the density of data storage in DNA is approximately 10¹⁸ bytes per cubic millimeter. In addition, this storage system has its own repair complex made up of proteins, enzymes and nucleic acids. Scientists see incredible promise in this area.

3D Bioprinting

Yesterday, a 3D printer for printing pens, houses and other objects seemed like something out of fantasy. Today, it is a reality that has gone a lot further than that. Spanish scientists have printed skin, the UK has managed to print the cornea of the eye, and there are even bones and cartilage already printed. Many believe that this is the future of regenerative medicine! Today, the best minds of mankind have the goal of creating human organs, after which successful transplants must be performed.

Nanotechnology

Nanobots are the machines of the future that will not only be able to produce themselves, but also to disassemble any other material into small pieces and then transform it into something else. The size of these nanobots is so small that they are a million times smaller than an ant! Although it sounds unrealistic, there are many nanoproducts on the market today.

Virtual Assistants

Today, digital assistants have not yet reached the point of development and possibilities that the future holds. But the foundations have definitely been laid! According to Microsoft Executive Vice President Harry Sham, this will be the ultimate form of AI, which will become the user’s closest friends and assistants. Developers see the virtual assistants of the future as more than just chat bots. They will have extensive functionality for solving specific tasks and will even give advice and recommendations to users.
