Technology is continually advancing and has come a long way when looking back over the past few years. In fact, it’s almost impossible to go about your day without using it at least once. In this article, we are going to talk about some incredible new technologies that are starting to take over the world. Interested? Then let’s get started!
AI Technology
Today if we want to know what the weather is or how far away that new café is located, we don’t even have to type it up physically. With Siri, Cortana, and Amazon’s Alexa, we just speak what we desire and let them do the hard work for us.
AI technology certainly has come a long way, but that doesn’t mean it is going to stop here. Scientists are still working on new ways to incorporate artificial intelligence into our lives. With so many possibilities, we haven’t even scratched the surface.
Cryptocurrency
Cryptocurrency and the blockchain technology behind its existence has certainly been a major technological advancement in our world. Transactions are now quicker than ever, and an individual can pay for something anonymously without interruptions from a third-party. On top of this, it’s become a popular choice for investors, even with its high volatility.
Robot manufacturing
Back in the day, all work had to be done by hand in major factories. From sorting to the packaging at the end of the line. However, today, robot manufacturing is becoming so advanced that the number of staff that needs to be employed is significantly reduced. We’ve all seen Charlie and the chocolate factory, where his father gets replaced by a robot at the toothpaste factory. That was just the beginning.
Biometrics
Biometrics involves using advanced technology to improve security. The most common example of this would be the facial recognition software you might have seen at the airport. However, it is beginning to be used in more and more situations, from office building access to the fingerprints we use to get into our smartphones.
Virtual Reality
Virtual reality technology has certainly become popular over the last few years, with it being predominantly used in the gaming industry. However, it’s not stopping there. Virtual reality is now being used in many other ways, from virtual tourism to surgeon and medical student training. You can even shop virtually and try on clothes over the internet. While it’s still in its early stages, it will be very interesting to see where this goes.
When looking through the above, it certainly is interesting to see what new technologies are being developed. While not everyone is excited about these changes, it’s hard to deny the positive impact they are having on civilization. From the cars that we drive, to the way we pay for specific products. The options are endless. What do you think? Are you a fan of these new technologies?
