Techdigitalweb – Technology develops at a very rapid pace. The things that are widely used in the past can be erased and replaced by new inventions. At the same time, we are expecting the arrival of futuristic technology and things that don’t exist in the past. Technology has made everything possible and also opened new opportunities. Here are some of the most exciting futuristic technologies
Jetpack As a Mode of Transportation
Commuting can be very exhausting because the traffic is terrible. Everybody stuck in traffic secretly wishes to be able to fly to work instead of driving. In the very near future, flying to work may not stay as wishful thinking because jetpack technology is improving.
Jetpack is a kind of flying motor but as of now, it can only be used for tourism or military purposes. Futuristic technology companies are improving jetpack technology so it can have a longer flying time. They are in the work to make jetpack safer and more stable. It is not impossible to see jetpack used as a common mode of transportation in the future because everybody loves flying!
Laboratory-Made Meat and Dairy Product
The meat and dairy industry are not environmentally friendly. But it is impossible to stop this industry or even reduce the manufacturing process since the demand for these products is always high.
Thankfully, scientists have found a method to grow meat inside a laboratory. It is still in the development process and the researchers are working to make the meat more realistic so that it looks more convincing and attractive. The only problem now is the cost of growing meat in the laboratory is still very expensive. But once they find a cost-effective way to develop edible meat in the laboratory, it will change the way people consume meat.
In addition to meat, scientists are also developing dairy products in the lab. This process is not as difficult as creating lab-grown meat and some products are available in the market now. The scientists are working to work on futuristic technology ideas that make lab-made milk more delicious and hence more marketable.
Self-Driving Car
If we talk about futuristic technology that exists today, the self-driving car is the first thing that comes to our mind. Transportation technology has come so far that now we can sit back, relax, and let the car drive us through the traffic.
But it is also not a secret that autonomous car technology is still not perfect. There are many things that can be improved, especially in terms of comfort and security. In the future, a self-driving car will truly be able to independently maneuver on the road with little to no intervention from the driver. Commuting will be much easier thanks to the improved security.
Furthermore, since the driver doesn’t have to focus on the road, the car will be equipped with a state-of-the-art entertainment system. Listening to music is a thing of the past. A futuristic self-driving car will even allow you to enjoy a music concert from the convenience of your vehicle.
Humanoid Robots
We have heard many rumors about the future where some of our jobs will be taken over by robots. Based on the current pace of technology, that kind of future is not so far from us today. Scientists have developed robots that can do house chores and work in convenience stores. While today the robots can only do simple things, in the future we can expect humanoid robots that can work as real humans.
The robots will have human body-like structures and they are set to make human life more comfortable. The future humanoid robots can be controlled from afar, which means we can let them stay home and do the house chores while we are at work.
Prosthetics with Nervous System
Prosthetics also will see a great development soon. Scientists are currently developing prosthetics with a sense of touch. It comes with a mechanism that connects directly to the user’s remaining nervous system. As a result, the user will be able to feel what he or she touches. It is reported that scientists also plan to make prosthetics controllable so that they can function like real hands.
Super-Fast Trains
This is a technology that can revolutionize transportation. Hyperloop, an American company backed by Elon Musk is currently developing super-fast trains that not only go underground but also underwater. The company plans to build its first route from Los Angeles to San Francisco. The trip usually takes 3 hours, but the super-fast trains will shorten the duration to less than 30 minutes.
Sweat Powered Smartwatches
Watch battery is not expensive but it is not eco-friendly. The manufacturing process and bad waste management could harm the environment. Thankfully researchers from the University of Glasgow are developing a sweat-powered smartwatch. The smartwatch uses a mechanism that turns sweat into electrolytes found in conventional batteries. As a result, smartwatches in the future might no longer need a battery.
Internet Everywhere
Internet connection is no longer a luxury in this modern era. However, there are still many people who don’t have internet access, and in some countries, the cost of the internet is very high. In the future, the internet might not be a problem anymore because it will be available for everyone everywhere. Most importantly, it will be free. Google itself is developing a technology to provide internet access to inaccessible areas. In the future, the internet will be available in every corner of the world, just like the air that we breathe.
Wearable Screens
Remember when a handphone is as heavy and big as a brick? Many things have changed since then and we have seen foldable phones, rollable phones, and even tiny smartwatches that we can use to check our phones. If those things are not good and comfortable enough, just wait several more years until wearable screens come into our life. A device will beam the screen to your clothes, skin, and any other surfaces. It is possible that thanks to this futuristic technology, you don’t even have to take your phone with you.
