• Introduction:

In olden times man used to live in caves and was eating nuts and fruits. As man is an intellectual being he always wanted to make his life easier and comfortable. He started developing new tools. With these weapons he started hunting and cultivating of some crops. After the invention of wheel there was tremendous change. He started to make carts and used animals to go from one place to another place.

In 20 century after the industrial revolution there was the massive growth in every walk of life. Steam engine, railways, handloom and other machineries increased rate of production. The trading increased worldwide. Colonialism increased and led to two world wars. Meanwhile the need and demand of technology had been increased substantially. For the protection of the nation destructive weapons, machines, guns, tanks and arms were developed. The industries were also growing. The invention of computer has changed the dimensions of the business. In every walks of life technology has been used on a large scale.

Today we cannot imagine our life without Mobile, TV, Fridge, Washing Machine, Oven, and Grinder etc. They have become part and parcel of our life. All these home appliances have made our life comfortable.

In agriculture tractors, harvesters and other technologies have reduced human efforts of farmers. Bullet trains, aeroplanes, ships are used to transport people and goods across the world. Advanced medical facilities have increased our birth rate and life duration. Smartphone has made people really smart. Smartphones can be used for business, entertainment, social networking and communication.

Today we don’t amuse at these technologies because we use them and see them easily but the future technology will be out of our imagination and will have great impact on the lives of human beings. Here are some future technology ideas about to change our world.

• Voice commands for your car:

High on the list of innovations is the introduction of Alexa-like personal assistants. “You’ll be able to interact with your car through voice command,” One scenario: You might be driving and looking for a parking space. All you’ll have to do is say “Find parking,” and your vehicle will navigate you to the closest, least expensive, safest garage, based on your programmed preferences, and then pay the fee with your credit card.

• Car batteries that charge in 10 minutes:

Today e vehicles are coming in to picture as they are eco friendly. But right now the problem is that it takes long time to charge. Fast-charging of electric vehicles is seen as key to their take-up, so motorists can stop at a service station and fully charge their car in the time it takes to get a coffee and use the toilet – taking no longer than a conventional break.

• Floating farms:

The UN predicts there will be two billion more people in the world by 2050, creating a demand for 70 per cent more food. By that time, 80 per cent of us will be living in cities, and most food we eat in urban areas is brought in. So farms moored on the sea or inland lakes close to cities would certainly reduce food miles. But how would they work? A new design by architect Javier Ponce of Forward Thinking Architecture shows a 24m-tall, three-tiered structure with solar panels on top to provide energy. The middle tier grows a variety of veg over an area of 51,000m2, using not soil but nutrients in liquid. These nutrients and plant matter would drop into the bottom layer to feed fish, which are farmed in an enclosed space.

A single Smart Floating Farm measuring 350 x 200m would produce an estimated 8.1 tonnes of vegetables and 1.7 tonnes of fish a year. The units are designed to bolt together, which is handy since we’ll need a lot of them: Dubai, for instance, imports 11,000 tonnes of fruit and veg every day.

• Stretchable and Waterproof Wearable Electronics:

The term refers to smart electronic devices that can be worn on or implanted, and whose applications include physiological monitors or biomedical sensors, energy conversions and storage, wireless communication and charging systems, as well as human-machine interfaces. They are required to be conformable in order to enable good signal quality during the movement of the wearer, as well as lightweight and long-lasting.

Incorporating electrically functional fibers into textiles is a convenient method to impart sensing and readout functionality in the form of wearable clothing. They will be water resistant: people may sweat or get caught in the rain. Then also devices will be in working conditions. In the extreme case where devices are used under water, the device not only needs to be waterproof, but also pressure resistant.

• Robotics:

It’s easy to get an impression of the way robots are changing our daily lives: simply think of the self-serve pump next time you stop for gas. Such progress was hard to imagine when gas stations began. Now, even residents in rural counties in the U.S. have access to such robots. That’s just one example of how artificial intelligence affects the way we live.

Top tech companies are in a constant race to change the way robotics are implemented in people’s everyday lives – which will lead us to a really exciting future.

Conclusion:

The future will be different than what we have now. It will be a new world with amazing technology. It will keep us in complete awe. It will affect our lives in different fields like Artificial intelligence, machine learning, vertual reality, augmented reality, networking, medical, automation, agriculture, space etc. We should be ready to accept and implement these technologies without disturbing natural harmony. The interesting future technology awaits you. Let’s live it…….
