I have been thinking about the future. There are many technologies and projects going on that will have a huge impact on our future society. Many of these technologies are breaking the rules as we know them and many of the tasks that we do today may not be the tasks that we do tomorrow.
I have been reading a lot and thinking about what technologies are going to have this big impact. Something small that I think is already here is voice activated technologies. Although I use my Amazon Echo almost everyday to hear music, the news, and weather, but it is getting better. There may be a day that the keyboard is a thing of the past. We already have voice activated typing, it is a little clumsy, but it is getting better.
Another area related the the first is the internet of things or IoT. IoT is already here, it is possible to connect many of the common devices we already use. It is important to understand IoT because there are huge security implications involved in connecting all these devices. The secret is the interfaces. If you pair voice activated with IoT, it creates a huge convenience with a huge security concern.
One technology that helps with the security concern is blockchain technology. When people think of blockchain, they think of cryptocurrencies. Cyptocurrencies are really just the tip of the blockchain iceberg. This is a technology in which I am researching much more.
Other technologies that are here and getting better include robots, automation, artificial intelligence, deep learning, and many more.
The point of this post is that the future is coming and people really need to be prepared to continue to learn new skills on a continual basis. It will be important to learn these skills not just for work, but also to just basically live in a more connected world.
