We already know how fast technology is evolving every day with the intention of making peoples’ lives more convenient. Some of them so are powerful that they almost seem like something out of a sci-fi movie, but they are, in fact, already here.  Here is our countdown of 15 cutting-edge technologies that will change the way you live — sooner than you think.

15. Augmented Reality: In simple words, AR is a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on the user’s view of the real world. This technology works like a personal dynamic GPS system. Its most famous application so far has been Pokémon Go.

14. 3D Gaming: After wearing a pair of special 3D gaming glasses, the gamer will get a three-dimensional feel of 2D objects. Today’s computers support 3D gaming by virtue of their polarized filter type screens. Say goodbye to traditional gaming and hello to something stunningly real.

13. Social Television: Social television is the fusion of television and social media. By virtue of this technology, people can share and comment on different TV events simply by using connected social media channels.

11. Wireless Display Technology: HDMI will soon be a thing of past due to the inception of the Wireless HD line. This technology can transmit HD video and audio from a media center to television screen that eliminates the hassle of cables for sending signals to the receiver.

10. Deep Data Mining: This is a very comprehensive data collection strategy that uses pattern analysis and behavior prediction. It has many applications; for instance, this technology can reveal the psychological profile of an individual just by tracking his/her search pattern over the internet.

9. Snake Robots: Nuclear plants, gas pipes or other places where physical inspection is impossible…snake robots can do it for you! These robots can wriggle into pipes, valves and ‘impossible to reach places’ and do the inspection for you.

8. Bitcoin: This innovative payment network (and a new type of money) uses P2P technology without the involvement of banks. It’s an open source worldwide payment system with extremely low processing fees and faster transactions.

7. Atmospheric Energy: Scientists have made progress to innovate electricity by using atmospheric energy which is completely renewable. This energy source is more efficient and powerful than wind, solar and biofuel. More good news is this energy is always present in the air and clouds around us.

6. Solar Fuel: The technology can directly convert solar energy into a synthetic chemical fuel just by using sunlight, carbon dioxide and non-potable water. During the process, several photochemical, thermo-chemical and electrochemical reactions are involved.

5. Dual-Action Antibodies: This is a very promising way to cure nearly untreatable diseases like cancer and STDs. Dual action antibodies can work at the cellular level and they are cost-effective as well.

nano

4. Nanotechnology: This branch of technology deals with particles that are less than 100 nanometers in dimension. Scientists firmly believe that this technology will revolutionize computing in terms of size and at the same time can serve as an artificial immune system inside the human body.

3. Neural Interface: What would you think if someone told you that your brain will be directly connected to the internet? Well, this is no longer a fantasy. Neural interface technology captures the entire wave mapping of the brain and controls remote robotics through neural impulses.

2. Engineered Stem Cells: Engineered stem cells can deliver antibodies more effectively and that effect is long lasting. These cells are engineered to cure any kind of infirmity with quick results.

Incredibly, this is now a reality…kind of. Quantum teleportation uses the link that remains between particles even when they are spaced apart. Hence, the speed of communication will soon see a revolution.
