TECHNOLOGY 2020

INTRODUCTION

VISION

IMPACTS


INTRODUCTION• Greek technología (τεχνολογία) — téchnē (τέχνη), an 'art', 'skill' or 'craft'

and -logía (-λογία)

• “ The study of something, or the branch of knowledge of a discipline”

• Use of technology began with the conversion of natural resources into simple tools


INTRODUCTION CONT…

Technology has fundamentally changed our lives over the past 10 years

• Social Computing

• Search Engines

• Cloud Computing & Virtualization

• Mobility

• Genetics

• “Consumerization” of IT

• Communication & Collaboration

• Telepresence

• Software Solutions


VISION 2020 CPU

• Moore’s Law “The number of transistors incorporated in a chip will approximately double every 24 months.“ Gordon Moore, Intel Co-Founder

• 20,000,000,000,000+ transistors by 2020


VISION 2020 CPU

Brainwaves as an input devices will

replace mouse, keyboard, sensors,

etc. implementations will be vast. Eg:

disabled people can move their wheel

chairs on their own.

Well renown manufacturers of the

Pentium processor, Intel is working on

this technology and envisions that it

be available for us in the year 2020.


VISION 2020 AUTOMOBILE

• The oldest 20% of cars are responsible for 80% of the emissions

• TAXI 2020 hopes to green Australian streets fuel cells and solar power

VISION 2020 AUTOMOBILE

• 2020 cars will have soft body, not shiny

metal box, size of go cart, zero emission

with removable parts, seats are adjustable

and even room for laptops and drive by

itself.

• Designer Stefan Mathys led a team of

visionaries to design a similar type car.

The City Transport Cell, is built specifically

for the year 2020.

VISION 2020 DISPLAY SCREENS

• New social interactions: “In 2020, it may no longer be 'screens' with

which we interact. What I mean by 'screen time' in 2020 is time

spent thinking about and interacting with artificially-generated

stimuli. Human-to-human non-mediated interaction counts as

'facetime' even if you do it with a telephone or video wall.” – Glen

Ricart, Internet Society board member, formerly of DARPA


VISION 2020 DISPLAY SCREENS• 98% of Mobiles, TV’s and computer will have touch screens

• Touch screens become common interface for all machines and devices.

• Toilet mirrors, keyboard, mouse will be replaced by touch screens.

• Stretchable, flexible , transparent, e-link displays


VISION 2020 DISPLAY SCREENS• 3D holographic TV expect to be on 2020

• The Japanese Government is pushing huge financial and technical

weight into the development of three-dimensional, virtual-reality

television .

VISION 2020 DISPLAY SCREENS

Black Hole Cell Phone Designed for 2020


VISION 2020 THE INTERNETA survey done by BBC found that in 2020

• Control over technology will still remain on human

• Virtual reality is a drain for some

• The internet opens worldwide access to success

• Low cost high speed internet will be commonly

available for people

• Their will be a culture of people called “refusenik”

who will remain unconnected to the internet due to

circumstances of economic and form violence and

protest against technology


VISION 2020 VIRTUAL REALITY• “There is a strong likelihood that virtual reality will become less

virtual and more reality for many. However, I see this as an addiction

phenomenon that will likely inspire us to understand unexplored

dimensions of being human.” – Barry Chudakov, principal, The

Chudakov Company

The Dragon Battlefield Visualization System


VISION 2020 VIRTUAL REALITY


VISION 2020 GAMING• Games look similar to titles today but more realistic sound and graphics. Still

require a box, no optical disc or tray, still need storage cards most games will be available to purchase online via the console.

• PlayStation 1:Core CPU Speed: 33.8 MHzPolygons per Second: 300,000RAM: 2 MBStorage: 649 MB (CD-ROMs)

• PlayStation 3:Core CPU Speed: 3.2 GHzPolygons per Second: 275,000,000RAM: 512 MBStorage: 40 GB

• 2020 Console:Core CPU Speed: 320 GHzPolygons per Second: 27.5 BillionRam: 50 GBStorage: 4 Terabytes


VISION 2020 ROBOTICS

• The evolution of smart machines: “Fear of enslavement by our creations is an old fear, and a literary tritism. But I fear something worse and much more likely – that sometime after 2020 our machines will become intelligent, evolve rapidly, and end up treating us as pets. We can at least take comfort that there is one worse fate – becoming food – that mercifully is highly unlikely.” – Paul Saffo, forecaster and director of The Institute fort the Future


VISION 2020 ROBOTICS• The Japanese Robot Association reports robots of all

kinds would be present in the home and office by the

year 2020.

• assist humans with everyday tasks and keep them

company.

• They’ll also be used for labor purposes such as space

missions and Japanese government have special plan to

achieve this goal.

• Cyborgs – Cybernetic organisms, machine and bio

particles, gives ability to modify human parts. Eg:

Cybernetic Limbs giving ability for cripled people to walk.

VISION 2020 LUXURY• Luxurious Yacht that Transforms Into Airplane


VISION 2020 MOBILE PHONES

Morph is a concept demonstrating some of the possibilities nanotechnologies might enable in the future communication devices. The concept was

designed by Nokia.


VISION 2020 MOBILE PHONES CONT…

• Morph demonstrates how future mobile devices might be stretchable and flexible,

allowing the user to transform their mobile device into radically different shapes. It

demonstrates the ultimate functionality that nanotechnology might be capable of

delivering: flexible materials, transparent electronics and self-cleaning surfaces.

• Advantage of morph is it can detect specific chemicals in the air

• As the nanoscale Electronics becomes invisible to the human eyes users can see buttons

on the device surface are in real 3d forms…


POSITIVE IMPACTS

• New technologies form a gateway for new inventions

• Human will have the opportunity to modify their body, e.g.: a person with mental disorder can be cured using electrical implants. Also human are playing with their genes, this makes it possible to eliminate dangerous diseases like thalassemia before the child is born.

• Alternative energy sources.

• Processors become part of every object making it possible to automate. Eg: juice mixers at home can be automated or connected to internet.

• Easy access to information anywhere anytime on the go.

• Less requirement for transportation, more can be done at home. Eg: working at home via VPNs instead of attending office.


NEGATIVE IMPACTS

• People may get dispersed off to getaway from information overload.

• recruitment industry will be affected by the rapid, unstoppable march of the new technologies.

• People will get lazy and completely dependent on technology. Human interaction becomes less and virtual interaction becomes more.

• Increase cost for expansion of network mediums. More traffic on the networks.

• Since more and more will be depending on the internet for their daily needs, arises the possibility for increase in cyber crimes. And more cost will go to cyber patrol.
