By 2030, ten powerful converging technologies will entirely transform how you think, work and live.

Here's what you need to know:
1. Artificial intelligence [AI] - software algorithms that automate complex decision-making tasks to mimic human thought processes and senses.

Will exponentially speed up every aspect of human and machine interaction.
What is Artificial Intelligence

AI is the combination of algorithms used for the purpose of creating intelligent machines.

How AI Will Change the Future by @mikewalsh

"What if the next great leap in technology was not systems that ran faster and more efficiently, but rather a platform that was capable of anticipating our every need?"

@mikewalsh 2. Augmented reality [AR] - a visual or audio “overlay” on the physical world that uses contextualized digital information to augment the user’s real-world view.

Will be used to inform and amplify your interaction with all aspects of your everyday life, work and travel.
@mikewalsh Augmented Reality Will Make Us Superhuman by @LouisBRosenberg

"You will turn your gaze on almost anything in your surroundings, squint thoughtfully, and immediately view informational content about the object or activity of focus."

@mikewalsh @LouisBRosenberg 3. Virtual Reality [VR] - an interface in which viewers can use special equipment to interact with a three-dimensional computer-generated simulation in realistic ways.

Will transform learning and education, entertainment, medicine and more.
@mikewalsh @LouisBRosenberg Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality Explained

AR adds digital elements to a live view often by using the camera on a smartphone. VR implies a complete immersion experience that shuts out the physical world.

@mikewalsh @LouisBRosenberg 4. 3D Printing - a machine that creates three-dimensional objects based on digital models by layering or “printing” successive layers of materials.

Will be used to design bespoke 'everything' from homes to replacement body parts.

@mikewalsh @LouisBRosenberg @VICENews 5. Internet of Things [IoT]- a network of physical objects embedded with sensors, software, network connectivity and computing capability, and able to collect, exchange and act on data.

Will minimize and simplify everyday decision making.
@mikewalsh @LouisBRosenberg @VICENews What is the Internet of Things in Six Minutes

IoT is the interconnection of computing devices embedded in everyday objects, enabling them to send and receive data via the Internet.

@mikewalsh @LouisBRosenberg @VICENews @UXTomM 7. Quantum Computing - a new generation of technology with a type of computer 158 million times faster than the most sophisticated supercomputer.

Will do in 4 minutes what it would take a traditional supercomputer 10,000 years to accomplish.
@mikewalsh @LouisBRosenberg @VICENews @UXTomM The Need Promise and Reality of Quantum Computing by Jason Roell

'The difference between a classical computer and a quantum computer is like the difference between a horse and a hawk: while one can run, the other can fly.'
