Technology for the Future

Cars without drivers internet of things and organs chip to bacteria that become plants: these are some of the emerging technologies of 2016 that will change the world by improving our everyday life, transforming the production processes in industries and contributing to improvement of the planet.

Internet of Things nano level



By 2020, 30 billion the microsensors located on cars, thermostats, locks, collars animals and several other objects are networked and able to transmit information to each other.

However, the big news of the internet of things will be called to the creation and large-scale production of nanosensors, which may circulate in the human body to be within building materials. Connected to each other, these nanometric sensors could revolutionize many industries, from medicine to architecture, agriculture to the production of medicines.


New batteries



One of the biggest obstacles in the diffusion of renewable energy - such as solar and wind - is the unpredictability between your offer and the demand, that is often the time is ripe for a major energy production which happens to be more than necessary at that time to the region and what is lost when trying to be stored. The opposite also occurs when bad weather does not help enough in production for a given time.

To help in this storage technology for creating more powerful batteries and less harmful to the zinc-based environment, sodium and aluminum are progressing recently. He can be created, for example, batteries adapted to small electrical networks that can provide power up to communities that were disconnected.


2D Materials


A new class of materials that have only one layer of atoms is being considered one of the key technologies of the time. An example material in 2D, as they are called, is graphene, made from carbon and that is stronger than steel, tougher than diamond, super flexible, super lightweight, transparent and speedy electrical conductor.

Besides him, other materials such as Silicene (silicone) and fosforeno (match), has applications in various sectors and may be in the near future, easier and faster to produce.


Driverless cars 


The spread of cars that do not need drivers to move gradually increase along with the technology that will ensure the safety of these vehicles and the introduction of rules and laws that govern the movement of such cars on the roads. They can also be extremely useful for older people who do not want or can no longer drive and accident prevention.


Organs on chips 


This technology, which is increasingly needed, creates thumbnail human organs for tissue microchip can be analyzed and used to accelerate the studies against diseases and to develop new drugs without the use of animal testing.

This technology is a big step for medicine since it is difficult to find real bodies that can be used for study purposes experiments. So far several groups already created some prototypes of kidneys, hearts, lungs and corneas.


optogenetics 


The functioning of the cells of a brain is something still a mystery for scientists. However, in 2005 it began to be discovered a technology that can help in the understanding of this body, and help to prevent or cure closely pathologies linked to this part of the body, such as chronic pain, depression, mental disorders, Parkinson's disease and even vision problems.

The technique is called optogenetics, which basically offers the ability to enable or disable specific neurons with millisecond precision through different colored light beams. The technology consists of implanting pigment proteins in brain cells, with the receipt of a certain color of light will respond to a specific, programmed way.

The big news is the creation of microchips only slightly larger than a neuron that can be injected into the brain cells carrying with them the required pigments.


artificial intelligence to create personal digital assistants 


Advances in technologies related to artificial intelligence is making online programs are increasingly able to take a personal assistant role. In the coming years these programs should do more than just look for a restaurant, show a path to a particular destination or schedule a meeting, such as the Siri Assistant, Apple, or Cortana, Microsoft do. In the future, they are connected not only to mobile data and e-mail account but also the house and the car user.  I personally put the ethereum this category, which is offered by Ethereum network are smart contracts or is an Artificial Intelligence.


Microorganisms such as factories

 


Advances in bioengineering fields such as synthetic biology, systems biology and evolutionary engineering, are enabling with bacteria and other microorganisms are transformed in chemical plants that may in the future replace petrochemicals, such as oil, coal and other fossil fuels .With chemical synthesising live microorganisms, sectors such as biofuels and the remedies can evolve and impact the environment less, being less polluting and harmful.


And of course, Our Dear technology Blockchain


Increasingly larger numbers of people and large companies such as Google, Microsoft and IBM are developing Blockchains initiatives and realizing the power and the positive impact that this technology may have to change the market and their management, and improve privacy and security issues in online shopping. These projects can also be useful and decisive to simplify and facilitate actions such as the sale of properties and performance of contracts.


And our dear steemit


The Steemit is very new in the market, over the short time already we can see how much it has to grow, it is too early to say that it will be the only one with this platform, I'm more sure she got something so great that we can not even say much at the moment. I Particularly before conehecer the steem family left my savings in bitcoin, more knowing SBD, identified myself better, the changes are minor. The steem family is very big, we will still be too surprised with it.
