Revealed: 3 Ways Technology Will Change In The Next 10 Years

Today, it’s time to look to the future. More specifically, how will technology change in the next ten years? I have some predictions, and will share them with you now:

increased-use-of-biometrics

NFC Will Take Over

We’ll start things off by looking at a technology that’s booming right now. Contactless payments are a massive thing. We see contactless cards, and things like Apple and Android Pay too. For me, it’s the second thing I’m more interested in. Recently, I left my wallet somewhere and had to wait for it to be posted back to me. All of my cash and cards were in there, and I thought I was going to struggle. But, I soon realized things weren’t that bad. I used my phone to pay for everything using Apple’s contactless system. Apple Pay uses NFC technology that makes payments so much easier. Not every shop allows NFC payments, but I think that will change. In a decade, we’ll be able to get cash out of machines using our phones. NFC will take over, and bank cards will be a thing of the past.

More Emphasis On Renewable Energy In Deprived Areas

Another thing I think we’ll see is an increased emphasis on renewable energy. We’ve seen renewable energy brought to big cities around the world. Now, we’ll see it brought more into deprived areas. There are so many countries, particularly in Africa, that need clean energy. Places like Kenya can use solar power to provide for an entire town. And, Kenya’s Renewable Energy Conference is already working to boost developments. Thanks to technology, it’s possible to bring this into deprived countries. We’ll also see innovations in everyday things too. I can foresee vehicles being made that use solar power in sunny countries. In general, renewable energy technologies will be big in the next decade. Especially in places where there’s currently not a lot of investment.

Increased Use Of Biometrics

Biometrics have become very popular in the last decade. We saw the first smartphones that used fingerprint scanners to unlock the screen. Then, we saw Microsoft devices with facial recognition software. Some gyms use palm scanning to allow members access through turnstiles. As the years go by, I think we’ll see an increased use of biometrics. Primarily, I think security companies will start making better use of it. Imagine a security system for homes that uses fingerprint scanning or facial recognition. It could even go FBI style and use retina scanning to allow access. Personally, I think fingerprint or palm scanning will be common practice in a decade. People will unlock their front doors without needing a key. The technology is already there; it’s just a matter of application. Within ten years, I’m sure someone will figure out a way to make it affordable for every home.

I’m sure we’ll see other tech developments in the next ten years too. For me, these three predictions look almost guaranteed to happen soon.
