The world is constantly advancing and growing stronger, smarter, and more efficient. For the last century, technological improvement has gone on at continually accelerating rates, and providing us with some of the most essential pieces of technology that we use every single day. And with each passing day there seems to be a new technology that debuts that has the potential to change the world as we know it. While we may never know exactly what the future holds, we do know that it will be exciting. Here are three technologies just on the horizon with the potential to revolutionize everything.
Biohacking
Biohacking may sound kind of scary, but it’s not what it sounds like. Biohacking is not the process of hacking into someone else’s biology, but rather finding ways to optimize our own biology and the biology of other species for positive change. Biohacking technologies like CRISPR for instance, can allow us to change the DNA of babies before they are born to prevent things like Down’s Syndrome or even just to select for eye color traits. With biohacking, we are soon going to be able to turn our own bodies into futuristic tools for the betterment of society and the improvement of life.
The Metaverse
The metaverse is another potentially revolutionary technology that is just within our grasp. The metaverse is an idea for what the future of the internet will look like, as a virtual space for collaboration, recreation, and basically any activity that you might perform in the real world. The metaverse involves AI and avatars that can interact and inhabit a virtual world. You can create your own custom characters for use in the metaverse. While we may not know exactly what the metaverse will look like, we do know that it will change the internet as we know it.
Self-Driving Cars
If you follow automotive news, then you are probably already aware that several companies including Apple, Google, and Tesla are all working towards creating fully autonomous, self-driving cars. While there have been experiments on this technology, there is still a little way to go before we can let the cars drive us. But self-driving cars will completely change the way we view transportation and give us back hours of time that we currently spend behind the wheel that could then be used for anything.
The future has always been an exciting place. But the future that we are nearing today is almost like a science fiction novel. Get hyped about these three technologies that are coming soon that could change everything.
