7 technologies that will shape 2020
Trends Technologies / / December 19, 2019
Personalized medicine, high speed internet and other new generation of development, which will affect our lives.
1. 5G
Fifth-generation mobile communication provides a higher bandwidth than 4G. Due to this we will be able to quickly upload and download files, and the connection will be more stable. The 5G-term will also enable automated systems, robots and autonomous vehicles to collect and send more data. This will help the development of Internet of things.
Testing is conducted with a standard mid-2010s, but to fully cover-5G networks is still far. Writer and futurist and strategy consultant in Business Technology Bernard Marr suggestsThe 7 Biggest Technology Trends In 2020 Everyone Must Get Ready For NowThat in 2020 5G really starts to "fly", while mobile operators will offer affordable tariff plans to support the new standard.
The Russian technology prospects are still vague. 2024 on its development plan to spendRussian authorities four times cut financial support to 5G and Internet of Things 244 billion rubles.

2. unmanned vehicles
In 2020, we still can not fully trust the autonomous control, but the scope of unmanned driving will be actively developed.
The head of Tesla Elon Musk saidElon Musk Promises a Really Truly Self-Driving Tesla in 2020That it was in 2020 the company will create the first "finished" unmanned vehicle systems, such as automatic braking and lane change will become more common. Also, we all will hear more about the unmanned taxi, which proves to be applicable in developed cities. For example, Google Waymo in 2019 in the past month carriedWaymo's robotaxi pilot surpassed 6,200 riders in its first month in California in autonomous vehicles 6200 passengers in the experiment.
Along with the news about the successes we hear about the new laws governing unmanned driving. There will also be a lot of debate, beyond the technology and related, for example, with the future employment of the taxi drivers.
3. Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a service
Bernard Marr in his book Artificial Intelligence in Practice said that the company is already studying how to use AI to improve service and streamline business processes. This trend will continue next year.
However, the development of its own systems, most organizations will not be too expensive. Therefore, they will have to seek the services of platforms, such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft.
AI systems are not universal and not always suitable for the specific tasks of different companies. In 2020 we will see a new artificial intelligence providers who are likely to make more specific proposals for the business.
4. Personalized medicine
More and more people are using wearable devices that collect data on the pulse, sleep quality and even make an electrocardiogram. Using this information, according to Bernard Marr, have an impact on health: we We will be able to predict, diagnose and treat the disease even before there will be serious symptoms.
The author also relies on individual approach to patients. People have different carry the disease and respond to drugs, so effective treatment should first be personalized.
This is not a new idea: it is already used in the creation of vaccines cancer. Scientists are developing a startup BioNTechBreakthrough methods in cancer therapy: personalized cancer vaccine individual drug for each patient, based on the data on the mutation of cancer cells. It can be an alternative to chemotherapy.

5. computer identification
Actively develop systems that can recognize objects, places, or people in images obtained from the cameras or sensors. These algorithms are used in smartphones with the identification of the person or in a Google image search.
In the 2020s, computer vision technology will be used more and more often. For example, "Yandex. Taxi "is already testing"Yandex. Taxi "will control the fatigue of drivers camera, check the condition of the driver, and the Dubai airport useDubai airport's new virtual aquarium tunnel scans your face as you walk through it Face detection sensor for faster passenger check. Identification by means of sensors will be installed in unmanned vehicles to detect dangers on production lines it will keep track of the defective products, but in the city - follow the incidents.
Along with the arrival of such systems in our lives and to increase the number of disputes about the technology, in particular, the confidentiality and security of the observed data.
6. Augmented reality
Under the Augmented Reality (XR) understand virtual, augmented and mixed reality. Virtual provides full immersion effect, when we get into an artificially created world using special headsets. Augmented reality adds virtual objects in space, when we look through your phone's screen. In the mixed, we can not only see, but also to interact with virtual objects, such as a holographic piano.
Today, these technologies are mainly used in the field of entertainment: we have already heard about the headset Oculus Rift and Vive, see virtual objects in filters Snapchat and gameplay Pokemon Go. In the 2020s things can change: companies are beginning to understand what capabilities provide augmented reality technology in the interaction with customers, and modeling of the virtual world It is becoming more accessible.
A great contribution to the development of augmented reality can have Apple. Bloomberg reportsApple's Smart Glasses Could Make 2020 the Year of ARThat in 2020 the company will introduce augmented reality glasses.
7. Blokcheyn
Blokcheyn technologies are predicting a great future for several years, but there are a couple of reasons to say that they will be included in our daily lives it in 2020. This year is scheduled to launch of two projects designed to change the way payments and money transfers. it Libra Mark Zuckerberg and Gram from Pavel Durov. With their help, perform financial transactions can be directly through the messenger.
