We have come miles but when I dream of technologies which are still not there, it is a long list. Let me share some of my dreams in terms of technologies I would love to see coming up or improving in future…
- Battery Life : It may sound very simple and boring but believe me, it is a fact that we all are battery hungry. Although there have been alot of improvements and gadgets are very smart but at a cost – they need more power. In today’s world also modern cell phones burst due to battery issues and batteries do not last more than a couple of days. We need to carry extra battery or portable battery. I wish there is a revolution in ‘battery technologies’.
- Speed: Yes, speed is amazing from what it was years ago. But it still takes me 1.5 hour to reach office in the morning. So 3 hrs of my life per day gone in travelling to and from the office. No, thats not what I dreamt of. Traffic or staying away from costly and packed downtown areas is not something I want to bring to discussions here. I just want my 3 hrs back. Please !
- My health: I am less healthier than my grandpa. With improvements in medical sciences, I am actually taking more medicines, have more allergies than he had in his lifetime. Is that where technology is taking us. I need my health back… please !
- Augmented Reality: I do see a scope in AR which is taking up the world fast. A very best example was that game which made our kids zoombies – the Pokemon. It is a good example and alot of business will come taking the advantage of AR. Pokemon is just a beginning and an interesting thing is that it has already trained people how to use AR. Looking forward to see the real life applicabilities spreading across in different fields
- Teleporting and Quantum: This is more theoretical and a thing of science fiction today but many scientists like Michio Kaku are showing us great hopes
