3 Ways the Next 10 Years Are Going To Be Mind-Blowin

Architecture

While Dubai is currently known for it’s ridiculous extravagance, developers in the region are building a tower that has fancy and extremely practical applications.
This beautiful building is going to be made of 59 independently rotating modules/floors so that inhabitants will have a constantly shifting view of the outside world. Each floor will rotate at approximately 6 meters per minute so that the inhabitants will not notice the movement. The independent rotations will also give the building an ever-changing exterior that can warp into very complex designs.
All of that aesthetic stuff is great and all, but the real innovation comes from the wind turbines built in between each floor. The resulting pollution-free energy will be enough to power the tower and several buildings in the surrounding area. Just Wow.

Energy

Solar energy will soon leave fossil fuels and inefficient wind farms in the dust. According to Kurzweil, “the cost per watt of solar energy is coming down rapidly and the total amount of solar energy is growing exponentially. It has in fact been doubling every two years for the past  20 years and is now only eight doublings away from meeting all of the world’s energy needs.”
Emerging technology from a company called Sandia is making the reality that much closer:
Sandia’s solar cells are made of 100 times less material than the current top solar cells while operating at the same efficiency. Since the biggest hurdle in the path of solar power is the expensive and large nature of solar panels, these new microscopic cells will make a huge difference. For example, current panels are massive and require large motors to move them to track the sun. Sandia’s cells, on the other hand, would only need to be moved a fraction of a millimeter to track the sun efficiently while weighing next to nothing.
Even more amazing, they can be suspended in liquids and printed on flexible materials, allowing the cells to be places on any surface. What if your entire car was covered in these powerhouses? Bye bye, Chevron

Robots

The first decade of the 21st century has been a remarkable time for innovation in robotics. While we’re still far away from having bots helping around the house or doing our construction, big strides have been made towards that future.Here’s another robot called BigDog that came out a couple of years ago, but if you haven’t seen the video, you really should. It’s a 4-legged robot that can navigate difficult terrain and correct its balance when shoved. If you can’t watch the whole video, at least fast-forward to 1:50 where the robot can be seen running and jumping
Recently a robot was able to teach itself human facial expressions by randomly contorting its face and receiving feedback on what resembled real expressions.

Super China Technology in 2020 Fintech In China, economic generation is booming. Global funding in fintech ventures more than doubled in 2018, to $fifty five.Three billion, with China accounting for around forty six% of that determine, in keeping with Accenture. The united states of america is home to some of the arena’s largest fintech corporations consisting of Alibaba affiliate Ant Financial which runs the famous Alipay cell bills app. Mobile bills — or paying with a scanned code in your smartphone — is one location wherein China has led the manner. Alipay and Tencent-owned WeChat Pay may be used all over the country from huge department shops to street stalls.   Smartphones Chinese firms at the moment are some of the biggest within the international. Three out of the pinnacle five phone companies are Chinese with Huawei sitting at wide variety two. Chinese telephone-makers have for years been accused of copying the likes of Apple with regards to cellphone designs. But in the pa...

The 3 Technologies That Will Change Marketing Forever  Big Data There is an extraordinary growth of records underway. In fact, 90 percent of all of the facts within the world became generated in the past few years. Big facts may be invaluable for commercial enterprise. We presently have about 30 zettabytes of data within the world (we create extra statistics in a minute from TVs, watches, and other linked devices than was comprised of the beginning of time till the year 2000). This wide variety is expected to grow to 175 zettabytes with the aid of 2025. While there is lots of hype about huge records, there is no doubt it is justified. Not best can we extract important meaning from the statistics that is created each moment, but we additionally now have gadget studying that could boost up the analysis and insights from the facts to make it actionable.   Smart Devices Another huge trend at the moment is the range of clever, linked gadgets that we name the Internet of Things (IoT...

Top 3 Future Bike Technologies We’d Like To See Graphene Bike Regular carbon is old hat these days. Sure, it’s brilliant for making those laterally stiff, vertically compliant bikes we all froth over, but the basic concept of laying up carbon with epoxy hasn’t changed all that much in recent years.The one-carbon-atom-thick wonder material graphene appeared on the scene a few years ago promising to revolutionise everything, but we’re still waiting for it to take over in bikes. UK brand Dassi has already made a graphene road bike called the Interceptor. This incorporates the material in the resin that binds the carbon together, producing a stronger frame for a given weight. The process is much the same as for standard carbon bikes and its designers reckon a 500g aero frame is achievable. Graphene also has conductive properties that could be exploited in the creation of frames with some sort of built-in intelligence. The possibilities are intriguing….  Self-cleaning bikes Imagine if y...
