Our company has made many advances in technology, leading to fundamental breakthroughs and results. Science and innovation are progressing at an ever faster pace, and things we see as mundane today were practically science fiction just 10-20 years ago.
Looking at the future of the world in the next 10 years, here are some technological advances that can be expected:
Global capillary Internet
The future of the world in the next 10 years will depend on two opposing trends: on the one hand the infrastructural one, which could allow us to communicate and work without depending on the "old" internet service providers. Projects like Kuiper, Jeff Bezos' startup which plans to launch 3000 satellites to spread the internet and computers everywhere, will bring the internet even to remote areas of the world. Elon Musk's Starlink goes even further, with the project of a "space" internet and 12000 satellites in orbit that they threaten to be a problem even for stargazing from the ground.
On the political level, however, the trend seems to be of the opposite sign: the future of the world could see "Splinternet“, the separation of the internet into multiple local networks. A project that is indeed not easy to implement, but China and Russia have opened up more than one reflection on the topic. And the very recent riots in Iran with the consequent closure of the "national web space" to avoid the spread of protests are a more than concrete example of the "fragmented" future that could await us.
Home health
Going to hospital will become completely useless and obsolete for various types of ailments, thanks to innovations in medical care and especially in diagnostics. THE wearable devices they will be widespread and commonly used objects, and will be able to monitor and record more and more vital parameters. A group of doctors (public and perhaps more quickly private) will open up remote assistance services thanks to the analysis of our body data. With the help of artificial intelligence it will be possible to intervene in case of problems more quickly than what is done today in some emergency rooms.
Hospitals will not be harmed, on the contrary: in the future the world will ensure that with the decongestion of some structures they will be able to focus on the efficiency of treatments. Even the doctors present on site will have more time to dedicate, skipping waiting times and the first contact with the patient: it will be enough scan your biometric data to get a first picture of the situation.
AI everywhere
THEartificial intelligence it becomes more and more widespread with each passing year, and has already waged a real war for its supremacy. Today, we commonly use devices that take advantage of early AI, such as voice assistants or some types of appliances. Future predictions say that in the next 10 years they will power cars, promote personalized learning methods, manage robots and more. The world of the future, it is not a gamble to say, will be co-guided by an artificial intelligence.
Of the risks onemployment aspect I have already spoken at length: AI will surpass us in many daily aspects of life in the future, and perhaps this will lead to a "political" brake on its use. Or even win-win solutions like the universal basic income. In short, the theme in the future world will no longer be just that of the advent of artificial intelligence, but the search for loyal and harmonious coexistence with it.
A new species of birds: drones
I drones they are becoming a key element of our infrastructures: their use is growing rapidly in the fields of defenseand scientific research and also some shipments. In the next 10 years, their adoption will be even more massive (and regulated, hopefully): the futurologist Thomas Frey believes that by the end of the new decade there will be a billion drones flying in the skies of the planet. Some will venture that given the decline in the bird population throughout the world, a "species replacement" is taking place. Who can say?
However, drones will be used to protect and survey the earth's cities in the future, ship huge quantities of products over short distances, and patrol our forests and jungles. Advances in drone technology will allow them to traverse different types of terrain, allowing for much greater mobility, and perhaps seamlessly transition from flying to navigation, or walking on land, or even scuba diving. The sky of the world in 100 years could see more drones than birds, and I'm not kidding.
An energy revolution
The way we produce and consume energy will change dramatically over the next 10 years. The process of replacing fossil sources with renewables will continue briskly in the future world, with solar (but also nuclear, especially if the projects like ITER will be successful) on the shields. Electric batteries will become more widespread, they will be able to conserve more energy and for longer.
A century after the first applications by that immortal genius that he is Nikola Tesla, wireless electricity will change the way we power our devices. Phones will charge in our pockets, televisions will say goodbye to all power cords, electric cars will automatically charge while parked, and our brains will fry... oh well, I'm not saying that.
In short: the forecasts for the future of the world in the next 10 years say that there are a lot of irons in the fire. All that remains is to wait and participate, the things that change also affect future predictions.
