9 futuristic technologies that could become reality
In 2018, we saw futuristic tech ideas become reality,
from facial recognition applications to SpaceX reusable rockets. What futuristic technology might we see released in the future?

1. Quantum computingQuantum computing holds great promise in some areas, including cryptography and machine learning. But, until recently, progress was slow. This year, Google announced its Bristlecone quantum chip, which has 72 qubits. Google thinks Bristlecone can outperform classical computing in some areas and that ‘quantum supremacy’ will happen sooner than was thought.

2. A real iron man suitWith the superhero phenomenon and today’s technological advancements, it shouldn’t be any surprise that the U.S. Army is building a suit to withstand ballistic, shock and fire damage. It’s reported that a prototype will be completed in August of 2020.

3. 5G Networks5G networks, which will begin to roll out in 2018, will make a significant difference to the capabilities of mobile devices and wearables. With much greater bandwidth and significantly lower latency and energy requirements, 5G will drive developments in augmented and virtual reality, machine learning applications, and the connected city, creating a market for advanced applications and services.

4. Flying carsMaybe we’re not there just yet, but there is definitely research being conducted with very expensive MRI machines in order to map the relationships between thinking about objects and the brainwave patterns that thought process creates. It’s an exciting type of technology.

5. Voice identificationAlexa, Cortana, Assistant and Siri have been all the talk (pun intended) for the last couple of years. While the consumer experience is still new, the technology is advancing quickly. Biometric authentication is increasing the way we prefer to secure and access our private data. In 2018, we will see voice authentication become a more widely used way of securing our information.

6. Viable cryptocurrencyToday, only a few major brands accept cryptocurrency as payment. Expedia, for example, allows you to pay on their site with bitcoin. These crypto payment options will only increase in 2018. We saw how quickly retail stores adopted Apple Pay when they realized accepting this convenient payment gave them a competitive advantage.

7. 3D printed food3-D printing is here to stay, and my guess is 3-D printed food is next in line. Biozoon, a German company, has created different kinds of 3-D-printable powder mixtures that become solid when printed, and melt equally quickly when eaten. While Biozoon is targeting people who have difficulty in swallowing, it’s only a matter of time before we find raw materials to print 3-D food at the supermarket.

8. Commuter tunnelsSay goodbye to traffic. Elon Musk may move forward with The Boring Company’s tunnel development in 2018. He seems to have dedicated a lot of his time to building the tunnel and funding the project. This is a game changer for drivers who have to deal with endless traffic on the roads. He may just launch a test tunnel to see how it is functioning.

9. Augmented reality glassesAs we become more fascinated by augmented reality on our mobile phones, we’re going to see an increase in AR development for glasses. Companies like Magic Leap are likely to release their technology, improving on current AR glasses like Microsoft’s HoloLens.
