Ten tehnotrendov that in the next decade will change the world

Internet of Things. The rapid spread of smartphones and tablet PCs led to the fact that in 2010 for every person on the planet already has more than one device connected to the Internet (12.5 billion gadgets have semimilliardnogo population). By 2020 the number of Internet devices will reach 50 billion - six on each earthling. Development of the World Wide Web greatly expands the ability to collect, analyze and distribute data. For example, a young Dutch company Sparked implanting sensors in the ears of cows to monitor their health and movement.

2. Zetta - flood. In 2008, it was created about five exabytes of unique information. To place this amount of data you want one billion DVD-ROM drive. Three years later, the size of the unique information has increased to 1.2 zettabyte. Thrust people to multimedia, especially video, will lead to the fact that in 2015 more than 90 percent of the data on the World Wide Web will be in the video. This will require optimizing the security architecture and improving the quality of information transfer.

3. ... By 2020 one third of all data will be stored or transmitted through the cloud computing environment. The average annual growth of world income from cloud services will be 20 percent, while spending on innovation and cloud computing to the 2014- mu could reach one trillion dollars. Cloud services are already able to translate from one language to another in real time, providing access to powerful supercomputers, and to monitor the state of our health.

4. Next Generation Network. Since 1990, the baud rate on my home network has grown to 170,000 times. Today, at my house 38 permanent connections, and network bandwidth is 50 Mb / s. This is sufficient for the simultaneous operation of a home telepresence system (a common technique for remote communication, conferencing, etc. Dr.. ), Streaming movies and online games. In the next ten years, my home connection speed will increase to three million times. Networks of the future will be ten times faster than today and will scale well to meet the growing demand of users.

5. Earth is ... The speed and level of penetration increased communication. For example, in the ... The collection, distribution and consumption of information about events begins not in ... Such changes will be possible thanks to three technological advances: the mobile Internet, Web TV and the generation of content in any place at any time. Each owner will be able to shoot the event a smartphone in real time and transmit them.

6. Energy - is the life. Population growth and urbanization of the planet over the next 20 years will lead to a new city every month - millionth. Solve the energy crisis of the solar plant. Only solar energy is able to meet today's demand for energy in the world - enough to build 25 solar superelektrostantsy area of ​​about one hundred square kilometers each. ... In June 2011, researchers at Oregon State University reported on the development of production technology of solar cells using inkjet printers.

7. All for the good of man. So far we have adapted to the technology. In the future, technology will adapt to us. Already, machine vision camera allows you to remove your smartphone puzzle and solve it immediately. Augmented reality and control computers with gestures will help transform education, health, communications, and to combine virtual and real worlds. It may be created by the interface, ... It will allow people with spinal cord injuries live a full life.

8. The new reality. The transition from physical to virtual reality continues. At one time we bought books, CD- and DVD- drives, and today we load the information on our gadgets. Similar will happen with other objects through the use of 3D- printed ... Who is already ... Soon we will be able to print and human organs. In March of 2011 at a conference Dr. Anthony Atala of the Institute for Regenerative Medicine at Wake Forest (USA) printed directly on the stage model of human kidney. Many believe that the printing of living tissues - a matter of time.

9. An alternative branch of the evolution. Animated characters are already converts text to speech, recognize it and learn the knowledge gained in the course of communication. And Robotics is developing rapidly. By 2020, robots will become perfect people on the physical capabilities. By 2025 the population of robots will surpass the population of developed countries by 2032 will surpass the intelligence of such machines of man, but by 2035 th they completely replace people in the labor force.

10. The same man, only better. We crossed the threshold of learning and become masters of their own evolution. Remember the recent discoveries: in October 2009, Italian and Swedish scientists have developed the first artificial hand with the transfer of tactile sensations, in March 2010, the retinal implants to restore sight to the blind allowed for patients, and in June this year, the Texas Heart Institute has developed a ...

Are we ready for change?.
