10 Hot New Technologies that will Change Everything



Technological innovations are impacting the way we live. The changes that have been happening in our lives for the past few decades have gained momentum with the coming of new technologies, take IoT for instance. And that didn’t stop there because innovations began to happen at a faster rate.
For example, imagine that you are streaming the latest movie on your newest and most sophisticated tablet and you come across an actor you are not familiar with. You can instantly pick your augmented reality lenses and look up the person, and the information is at your fingertips.
So imagine, how far we have come. Here are 10 hot new technologies that is going to pretty much change everything that we know and do:

1. Internet of Things

The world has been raving about Internet of Things, and though we are familiar with it by now, it does deserve a mention here;at the top of our list. You know that through IoT, devices talk with each other and by 2020, the estimate is that about 50 billion people will be using IoT; i.e. each person will possess at least 6 connected devices.

2. Big Data is getting really big

Big data is a term used to describe datasets that are too big to handle in the traditional databases. Over the years, the term assumed even bigger proportions and now it refers to not just data, but everything related to data- including capturing, storing and analyzing.
These extremely large sets of data are used to analyse a lot of things, reveal trends and patterns, including studying human behavior and interactions. Both structured and unstructured data that inundates a business on a daily basis can be handled by using big data technology.

3. The super speed of USB 3.0

Some people may consider USB 3.0 unsexy, but there is nothing unsexy, only breathtaking, about the functionalities of USB 3.0. If you want to take up a backup of all the files in your computer, you can do it in a matter of 5 minutes with USB 3.0.
If you want to stop at a movie kiosk and download a full 3D feature film, that is also possible. The possibilities and capabilities of USB 3.0 is sizzling all over the world and whether you want to scan, print, transfer or download you can make it all possible with USB 3.0.
The transfer rate for USB 3.0 is ten times faster than all other desktop peripheral standards presently. It is possible to transfer more than 20GB of data in a minutewith USB 3.0. This format will soon be introduced in several built in devices, including mobile phones and consumer electronics in the coming years.

4. Li-Fi is gaining more prominence

Li-Fi or Visible Light Communications is a term that was coined by University of Edinburgh Professor Harald Haas during a conference in 2011. According to this technology, LED light bulbs are used to enable data transfer.
The concept was in its nascent stage, and testing and research were undertaken by UAE-based telecommunications provider, Du and Zero1, a company in Dubai. Once Li-Fi becomes popular, Wi-Fi bites the dust.

5. Cloud Technology is going to make a huge impact

The use of cloud has been around for sometime. But it’s usage is going to jumpstart and has been showing an increase of 20% every year. By 2020, it is estimated that about one-third of all the data will go into the cloud. All the important data in the companies will not be stored in the private companies anymore, but in the cloud.

6. Real Time always on connectivity

Social networking with an “always active”connectivity is another hot technology that has already started changing our lives forever. With a reliable global infrastructure and being highly scalable, it is possible for 24-hour connectivity for mobile and web apps. It makes cloud hosted real-time multiple messaging system possible.

7. 3-D Printing with its revolutionary concept

Isn’t it absolutely wonderful that you are able to take 3D print out of objects by laying down successive layers unless you create an entire object? This is done through a process called addictive process and each of the layers comes in printed as a thinly sliced horizontal cross-section of the completed object.

8. Terahertz Imaging Technology can move faster than you

Terahertz technology is a trending technology that can detect explosives minutely. What was considered impossible in the past is becoming a reality now. Its sensory capabilities can actually be used in the path planning for self-driving cars.
It is predicted that the market for Terahertz devices will grow by 35% every year and by 2020, will reach more than 1.4 billion.

9. Technology for Advanced Energy Storage

Significant improvements in the battery technology have given rise to advanced energy storage capabilities. With population growth and lack of storage space, advanced energy storage technology is really, very important.
Here is one example of this technology — You can capture the free electricity that is generated by a photovoltaic system and then store the same in a battery. This “electricity” can be used when you need to use electricity, especially when there develops a shortage of electricity.

10. Artificial Intelligence

You must be aware of films like Transcendence, I, Robot and Robocop, aren’t you? How about something like that becoming a reality in the near future? That will change your view of the world and what you can expect from it, wouldn’t it?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the next big thing in the field of robotics. A lot of progress has been made with AI recently and scientists are still exploring its capabilities.

Conclusion

There are other technologies that are trending at present. These are just starters, just to get you familiar with how fast things are moving.

How To Positively Embrace Technology To Fuel Your Success

Technology is constantly evolving as a means to increase our productivity, efficiency, and communication. Yet despite the fact that we can now get more work down in less time, communicate simultaneously with multiple colleagues, and even work remotely (in some cases), we aren’t becoming any happier. In most cases, it comes down to our largely negative and unhealthy relationship with technology. The good news is that it doesn’t have to be this way. When used mindfully, technology has the potential to enhance, rather than diminish, human happiness. As technology evolves further and continues to affect our daily lives, it’s more important than ever to learn how to find a balance between our gadgets, productivity, and wellbeing, in order to achieve greater happiness. Here are five strategies that successful individuals can use to find greater happiness in an age overrun by technology: Strategy #1: Stay Grounded With Intention  Although our already minuscule attention spans may ...

New technology will enable computers to run 100x faster

Until now, the major challenges that stood in the way of creating the terahertz microchip were overheating and scalability. However, following three years of extensive research, Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HU) physicist Uriel Levy and his team have shown proof of concept using flash memory technology. “This discovery could help fill the ‘THz gap’ and create new and more powerful wireless devices that could transmit data at significantly higher speeds than currently possible,” said Levy, head of HU’s Nano-Opto Group. “In the world of high-tech advances, this is game-changing technology,” he added. In a paper published in the journal  Laser and Photonics Review , Levy and HU emeritus professor Joseph Shappir showed proof of concept for an optic technology that integrates the speed of optic communications with the reliability and manufacturing scalability of electronics. Optic communications includes all technologies that use light to carry information through fiber-optic cab...

Getting an innovative technology to market

The emergence of new technologies, while holding great promise for society, often threatens the viability of established companies. There are plenty of well-known examples of this, such as the Eastman Kodak Co. and Polaroid Corp. and the advent of digital photography. In many of these cases, the core challenge for established companies stems not from a lack of recognition of or investments in emerging technologies. Instead, it stems from the challenge of commercializing an emerging technology whose economic attractiveness with respect to the company’s existing business model is not at all obvious in the near term. Today, managers in many prominent sectors, including autos, financial services, energy, and health care, face the challenge of pursuing emerging technologies that carry a high degree of uncertainty with regard to their economic viability and their companies’ competitive position. However, what is sometimes lacking is an understanding, guided by systematic empirical evid...
