IBM recently announced its annual Five in Five list.
It consists of Five new technologoes that IBM predicts will improve our lives within the next Five years.
Here’s what’s in store for us…
1) Become a citizen scientist Technology in sensors will allow typical citizens to gather and contribute invaluable environmental data to scientists for analysis.
2) Get there –Now Take the guessing out of your travel plans. New technology combines predictive analytics with real-time travel route information to recommend better ways to get to your destination.
3) Meet you in 3-D With the rapid advancement in 3-D technology you’ll soon be able to interact with your friends with 3-D holograms—in real time—from your phone.
4) Super Battery Tech Batteries in phones, cars, devices, and even in the electric grid will be smaller, lighter and last 10 times longer than they do today.
5) Recycle your computer’s energy Energy will be harnessed from computer heat then used to heat and cool buildings.
Following the annoucement of this year’s Five in Five, I spoke with IBM Chief Technologist for Australia, Glenn Wightwick, about these innovations in detail. You can listen here – IBM 5 in 5 Interview with Glenn Wightwick
