Future Technology: What Will The Future Technology Look Like

Future Technology: What will the future technology look like

Future Technology in flying cars, jetpacks or cyborgs made with modern body parts, were all science fiction and in our imagination.

But it is not too late, in the next 25 years, the research work of all these future technologies is moving forward on the way to be included in our daily life. Let's take a look at them today.

Flying car (5 years):

In future technology waiting for 50 years to see the flying car, then suddenly the project of making 3 flying cars at the same time came before your eyes. The first is that in Vahana, the Airbus company started their project with a battery-powered and only one-seater flying car. It can fly without a runway. Its wings have been shown solely to give a sense of proportion. The second flying car project is in Dubai, where these helicopters will act as air taxis to avoid traffic jams in the UAE. These two-seater flying cars are two-seater and fully controllable. These winged helicopters can be taken to any part of Dubai city in just 30 minutes.

But if you want to get a taste of flying science fiction cars, you have to fly to Israel. Made by Urban Aeronautics Fancraft, these flying cars have no wings, not even a rotor like a helicopter. Vertical ascents and descents were previously possible only with helicopters, but also because of its remarkable aerodynamic design. With the help of a light but very powerful engine, this fast vehicle can travel at a speed of more than 160 km / h.

Jetpack (10 years):

Want to fly in the sky like a bird? Do you want to float in the sky as you wish? New Zealand's Martin Aircraft Company is continuing its research to give you that benefit. This vehicle, which is the same size as a small car, has a smaller but very powerful fan instead of a jet engine. With the help of this, you can fly in space for about half an hour, if you want to come down you have to use a parachute. It has been successfully tested but will take several more years to open to the public.

Cyborg (20 years):

In many ways, people have already made their way to Cyborg. Let's talk about contact lenses, which eliminate the problem of myopia or hypermetropia. Or a cochlear implant, which can cure deafness. Even with the help of artificial limbs, people with physical needs can lead a normal life. But the next challenge is to create artificial limbs, through which we can feel everything just like normal limbs. Facebook, Elon Musk and the US defence agency DARPA are on the list to work on the artificial brain. Many other organizations have succeeded in controlling prostheses by placing electrodes in the brain. Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh have attached a robotic arm to the paralyzed person's sensory cortex, allowing the person to feel the touch of various objects through that arm!

The US-based company Second Site has discovered the Orion device, which allows blind people to experience vision through a camera. This allows the camera to be attached to the visual cortex at the back of the brain. Orion's predecessor, the Argus II device, allowed blind people to see black and white images. Although it is possible to see colour scenes with the help of the Orion device, its capacity is very weak. However, the head of the project. Greenberg hopes that in the next 20 years, blind people will be able to see like normal people. Maybe even more so, where it will be possible to zoom out-zoom in with the help of the camera.

Robot Butler (25 years):

Do you believe that when artificial intelligence becomes more intelligent than humans, they will easily solve the problems of our daily lives, or destroy humanity? Whatever the case, AI is about to revolutionize the world. However, we have not yet been able to create a robot that can make a cup of tea and climb the stairs to serve it to us.

Indeed, AI has already surpassed humans in solving chess, Rubik's Cube or other minor mathematical problems, but can we transform this 'AI' into AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), where robots can think like humans? Where robots will be able to use language just like a human, to think complexly, to adapt to new environments, and to be able to understand human emotions in this materialistic world?

One person thinks, yes, we can. And he is Professor Jorgen Schmidhuber, who invented Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), which was created using technologies like Google Voice and Amazon Echo. Schmidt Huber hopes that in the next 25 years, it will be possible to transform AI into a human-equivalent AGI by further improving the neural network, but that will have to wait until 2050.

Quantum computer (at least 20 years):

The invention of the IC chip revolutionized the world of electronics, making everything smaller, cheaper and more powerful. To increase its power, research is being done on 'Q-bit (quantum bit)'. Scientists at Caltech have already achieved success in quantum computing by storing data using light. With only one photon enclosed in a memory cell equal to a red blood cell, the discovery of the quantum chip is only a matter of time. But making quantum computers for the public is still a matter of a few decades.

3D hologram (25 years):

What many of us understand by 3D hologram is a three-dimensional image enclosed on a two-dimensional surface using laser light. We can easily create these 3D holograms at home using some kits. But now what scientists mean by 3D hologram is a 3D hologram and this 3D hologram is not one. The 3D holograms we are talking about are small in size, can be seen in low light and cannot be touched by hand. But the 3D holograms that scientists are currently thinking of, we can see them in normal light, touch them if we want, and move them from one place to another.

An example is Microsoft's HoloLens. Here the glass visor presents various artificial objects in front of the person's eyes, which seem real to the person and the person can also control them through his movements. Many other companies, including Microsoft, are currently working on this project, and their main goal is to make these holograms a reality, combining virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality. As seen in Tom Cruise's Minority Report, being able to work physically in an office thousands of miles away from home!

However, there is no point in being so happy so quickly, the technology to turn this myth into reality has not yet reached our hands. There is still a long way to go with this 3D hologram. Laser beams have always been used to create holograms, but researchers at the Technical University of Munich are now using microwave rays emitted from powerful WiFi routers to create holograms. Since WiFi can penetrate walls and enter other rooms, they can easily see what's going on inside and outside the house!

Mind-reading machine (2-10 years):

Mind-reading machines have so far only appeared in science fiction, but the wait may be over soon. Marcel Just, a psychologist and professor at Carnegie Mellon University, and his team have long been working to create mind-reading machines. This is why they are using fMRI or functional magnetic resonance imaging in the brain.

When we talk or think about something, different patterns emerge in our brains. The main goal of Just and his team is to find out what is going on in our brain by picking up those patterns using FMRI and analyzing them. " Every one of our brains works in the same way, even if we speak different languages," he said.

However, according to them, there are some complications. The patterns that are obtained with the help of fMRI are almost the same for the sentences of the nearest meaning. Similar signals are found for sentences such as 'I'm angry' or 'I'm upset'. This makes it difficult to retrieve the sentence perfectly. So to overcome this problem a team of them is currently working using an EEG (Electroencephalography) machine, which can work economically and accurately from FMRI. Just and his team are hopeful that within 2 years, not 10 years, they will be able to announce the completion of their project and present a Mind Reading Machine to the world.
