5 technologies that should be available in the near future

As we approach the new year, there are rumors of new technology that will become mainstream in the near future. Check them out below:

1. Automation

Automation, a system that has formerly been limited in scope, is expected to become mainstream by 2020. Amazon is releasing a new automated grocery store that could eliminate the need for cashiers completely. However, the current price tag of this technology puts it out of consideration for grocery stores at the moment. This type of technology should hit stores in just a few years.

2. Fibers made from spider silk protein

Did you know spider silk protein can possibly be turned into fibers used for tissue reconstruction, cell growth, bone support, ligament support, tendon support and other medical devices? This protein can also be used in the production of mini-drones and personal armor.

3. Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is getting more attention with the rise of Information Technology and Cybersecurity firms. AI could be a tool that prevents DDoS attacks. Companies like Google and Amazon have already implemented technology to simplify shopping and searching experience on all platforms.

4. Artificial Vision System

An artificial Vision System would use small cameras to convert visual information into auditory input. More information is to come about this developing technology.

5. Cryptocurrency

Although cryptocurrency has been popular before, it should become the norm in the next few years. With Bitcoin’s price jump in 2017, many tech companies have started to seriously consider the implementation of cryptocurrency. As these coins begin to make more sense and work themselves out with fluctuation in prices, they are expected to eventually become a more widely accepted method of payment.

Note: These 5 technological innovations are continually changing and developing. It remains to be seen how these breakthroughs will disrupt the business world and society as a whole.
