FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES

FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES

Future technologies are technologies whose development, practical applications

or both are still largely unrealized, such that they are figuratively emerging into

prominence from a background of nonexistence .

There are fast-evolving technologies that are changing the nature of work, the

dynamics of the workforce, and the notion of the workplace.To stay relevant and

competitive, one needs to understand the impact of emerging technologies on the

future of work and future jobs.

Future of work

The future of work will mainly depend on nature of wok done, how the work is

done, who does the work and where the work is done.

These points will generally defines the best jobs for the future and carrier

opportunities.

The technologies are evolving fast and the mankind also need to evolve with it, to

stay in demand for a better carrier .

The notion of work is fast evolving, and here are the key

future technologies that impact the future of work:

1 Educational technology

2 Information technology

3 Nanotechnology

4 Biotechnology

5 Cognitive science

6 Robotics

7  Artificial intelligence

These fast evolving technologies will create best jobs for the future, and will

create a huge demand among the job seekers.

As innovation drives economic growth, and large economic rewards come from

new inventions, a great deal of resources (funding and effort) go into the

development of future technologies. 

Outcome

To discuss the outcome take a step back to consider how the nature of work, the

composition of the workforce, and the notion of workplace interact with each

other to shape the future of work, which is the main reason.

We need a visionary approach to take full advantage of future technologies by

imagining the possibilities based on industry-specific data to define a

transformational strategy.

MNCs , Organizations need to rethink workflow, workforce, and workplace from

the ground up to take advantage of technologies while creating meaning and value

for employees.

There are some of  emerging technologies that will change the world.

There are many technologies that will emerge in the coming 10 years  that will profoundly influence our daily lives. Among all its technologies, there are around six  technologies that we would like to mention, because we think that these technologies have a great potential in the future, that are developing frequently  , and that will probably influence our world in the coming decades.

We would like to explain why, in our opinion, these technologies will surely change our world in the near future listed as follows :-

• Big Data
• Artificial Intelligence
• Self-Driving Cars
• Blockchain
• Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality
• 3D Printer

BIG DATA

Big Data refers to a very large set of data or a great volume of data. Every day we produce a lots of data, such as emails, social media posts (images, video) , online articles and videos, navigations and more. This dataset is thus Big Data.

Faced with this large amount of data, we must be able to navigate and process the data. Big Data is in fact the ability to process large amount  of information with more and more standard computing means. These volumes of information or data are of interest to many sectors such as tourism , ads, genetics,  or human resources. Big data can be considered as the new black gold of the digital age.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

The history of AI (Artificial Intelligence) is quite short and interesting and shows that this field has progressed a lot in 60 years. Indeed, we went from the first PC or computer that could do some calculations to very troubled machines. The first machine to show its AI capabilities was Deep Blue, an IBM supercomputer that beat world chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997. Then there was Watson’s AI developed by IBM, which won a game show “Jeopardy!” by answering questions in natural and great  language. And finally, AlphaGo, the AI of Google DeepMind, who beat the world champion of the game of Go, Lee Sedol knowing that the game of Go is a game much more complex than that of chess

SELF-DRIVING CARS 

Electric, autonomous driving and connectivity are the three factors that will make  the future of the car, that is to say the autonomous and connected electric car.

The electric  cars will solve the problem of pollution and noise of present cars. Autonomous driving, will surely reduce the number of accidents. The connectivity will allow people to consult information (weather, road traffic, etc.) and to take care during the journey.

BLOCKCHAIN

The blockchain is a technology for storing and transmitting information, transparent, secure, decentralized, and operating without a central organ. In short, it is a digital data management protocol, a very large secure and transparent database. 

 It can be seen as a kind of account book or register that contains a list of all exchanges made between users.

As this register is decentralized, it is stored on the servers of its users. This register is updated in real time and is tamper-proof because it relies on a cryptographic system of validation by users for each transaction. These sets of transactions (the rows of the register) are written in the book after validation, by blocks of data and thus form a string of unalterable blocks: the blockchain.

VIRTUAL REALITY AND AUGMENTED REALITY

VIRTUAL REALITY AND AUGMENTED REALITY

Progress in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality has democratized their use with the release of many virtual reality headsets. To avoid any confusion between these two technologies, I will recall what virtual reality and augmented reality are.

Virtual reality means to create a user immersion in a 3D virtual world in which he can move and interact.

Augmented reality is to use the real world to display 2D or 3D information such as images, numbers and texts with which the user can also interact. This augmented reality technology actually superimposes virtual elements to the real world, so the real world is augmented with digital information to provide more detail to the user about his environment.

THE 3D PRINTING REVOLUTION

In recent years, 3D printing has become possible thanks to 3D printers. 3D printers follow the same rules as 2D printers, but instead of printing ink on sheets of paper, the 3D printer prints objects by superimposing thin layers of materials such as plastic, clay, resin and others. From a 3D software or a 3D scanner, it is possible to model objects and then print them with the 3D printer. The printing possibilities are immense with the 3D printer, it is practically possible to print all possible forms. The only constraints are the size of the printer and the imagination of the user.

It can be used in many fields of applications such as industry, robotics, jewelery, medicine, food, fashion, armament, DIY, architecture, design, health, aeronautics and marketing. There are even 3D nano printers, such as Nanoscribe, which prints on a scale of a few microns. Based on a CAD model of a spacecraft, the 3D nano printer, Nanoscribe, prints using lasers and rotating mirrors to direct the beams in order to create a multipule layer of  structures by polymerization.
