Do you feel as if were unlucky to be born into this generation?
Although I'm glad i wasn't born the year 1520, i suppose life in the future would be a lot easier for many.
Technology seems to be expanding, new discoveries are being uncovered, and equations are being solved.
The future has a lot of things stored, things that we can only imagine in today's society.
I will provide you with a list of unimaginable upcoming technologies in the near future.
*Zero-size Intelligence.
Computer brains (or chips) have diminished in size -- some powered by just five atoms, and one-atom developments about 10 to 20 years down the road
*Neurohacking
Will there be a day when you say "I can't read your mind, you know!" and the reply will be "Oh, stop it -- of course you can!"? It could happen. Neuroscientists are finding ways to read people's minds with machines, and although this has been in the works for decades, real progress is being made by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and elsewhere.
*Mass Data
Even if scientists and marketers can't get access to our brains for neurohacking or neuromarketing, can they get access to our data? With unprecedented amounts of images and data available online, filling clouds and other Web-based storage, media, government regulatory bodies and marketers work around the clock to mine user preferences, habits and even relationships.
*Quantum Control
Picture a tiny bit of a thing on an already miniscule computer chip. Something microscopic with the power to think like a computer without the need of complex circuitry and capable of being moved by light or sound: That is quantum technology simplified.
*Nanotechology, Nanomed
Taking nanotechology from an idea to reality means being able to make some very, very fine and small-scaled tools. Nanotools have to be assembled at the molecular level in order to be tiny enough to perform work at the nano level, and often, the work of nanotechology is so specialized that the tools need to be modeled and made specifically for each job. Handling the tools involves careful and minute planning, as well, because of their delicate balance and scale.
*Dark Networks
Members of Anonymous (seen here wearing Guy Fawkes masks) hacked the French presidential Elysee Palace Web site in early 2012, and briefly knocked the FBI and Justice Department Web sites offline in retaliation for the U.S. shutdown of file-sharing site Megaupload.
*Universal Translators
As the Old Testament Bible story goes, the people once spoke the same language and were proud of the accomplishments they made in society, so they decided to build a tall monument to their accomplishments to spread their name to the heavens. God decided to humble their pride by confusing their language so they no longer spoke the same tongue. He created a babble and they abandoned their tower of Babel and scattered out to other nations, no longer proud and no longer one.
*Avatars, Surrogates, Robotics
While avatars (like this one from the game Second Life) and surrogates were once just the stuff of games, virtual reality and computer interfacing, now they're taking on more active roles as replacements for living, breathing humans.
