I miss one topic here and thats security. In not a distant future we will need to abandon almlst every encryption tech we use today because it will be obselete.
This is gonna be mega disruptive.
It could be. That is something that many are concerned about especially with the prospect of quantum. I havent followed that in a while to see the progress.
But the logical solution, in my mind, is to build quantum security.
Yeah but just imagine how many security solutions that needs to change. Its will be a chaotic time.
Basically every security solution used today can be broken by quantum.
The Future of Technology: What's Coming Next?
As technology continues to evolve at an incredible pace, it's essential to stay ahead of the curve and understand what's coming next. From self-driving cars to the metaverse, robots, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and space travel, we'll explore the latest trends and innovations that will shape our future.
Self-Driving Cars
While we're not quite there yet, self-driving cars are becoming a reality. In China, self-driving taxis are already transporting passengers, and the country plans to increase the sales of Level 4 vehicles to 20% of the total by 2030. This means that by the end of the decade, one-fifth of all cars sold in China will be capable of driving themselves.
However, privacy concerns may stymie the promise of kicking back on your commute, as autonomous vehicles will require access to personal data to function effectively. Additionally, the development of self-driving cars has raised questions about liability in the event of an accident, and regulators are still working to establish clear guidelines.
The Metaverse
The metaverse is a 3D virtual space that can be accessed through virtual reality goggles, adding elements of the digital on top of our day-to-day lives. While Meta is leading the charge, it's not the only company working on the metaverse, and its future is uncertain.
The metaverse has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with each other and with technology, but it also raises concerns about addiction, social isolation, and the blurring of lines between the physical and digital worlds.
Robots and Artificial Intelligence
By 2035, one in three jobs could be automated by real robots, predicts PwC. While robots are traditionally applied to repetitive processes, white-collar roles are also affected, particularly those focused on data sorting. For example, robots are already being used in customer service, where they can handle routine inquiries and free up human customer service representatives to focus on more complex issues. However, jobs where workers are less likely to be replaced by robots include those in health care, where human empathy and judgment are essential.
NFTs
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are one-of-a-kind digital objects that can't be exchanged for each other or copied. While they've captured the zeitgeist, NFTs have faced criticism for being stolen or using images that don't legally belong to the artists behind them. The rise of NFTs has also raised questions about the value and ownership of digital art, and whether it's possible to truly own something that exists only in the digital realm.
Space Travel
Fifty years ago, astronauts traveled to space in rockets designed, built, and maintained by NASA. Today, billionaires are enjoying journeys into low orbit on rockets they paid for. As private enterprise learns more about putting rockets and satellites into space, they're able to help NASA on its missions. The hope is that people will follow, possibly by 2025 or realistically by 2030. However, space travel is still a highly regulated and expensive endeavor, and it's unclear whether it will become more accessible to the General public in the near future.
Conclusion
The future of technology is exciting and uncertain. As we navigate the next decade, it's essential to stay informed and adapt to the changing landscape. Whether it's self-driving cars, the metaverse, robots, NFTs, or space travel, the possibilities are endless, and the future is full of promise. However, it's also important to consider the potential challenges and risks associated with these emerging technologies, and to work towards creating a future that is equitable, sustainable, and beneficial to all.
