Forecast of 15 major trends of science and technology industry in the 2015

February 3 News, according to foreign media reports, the 2015 technology industry will appear what new trends? Technology blog Wired recently recruited 15 experts, predicting the most expected this year, the most likely to become the mainstream of the 15 science and technology trends.

Health wearable devices are no longer equated with pedometer

Health technology start-ups will provide some real insights and advice on athletic training, shaking the existing pattern of the health wearable equipment industry. 3D sensors, pressure sensors and motion sensors will be implanted into the device to assess body, movement quality and muscle strength, automatically record the user's movement data, provide real-time advice, avoid injuries while also improving the quality of exercise.

Environmental Sensing Intelligent Equipment

An increasing number of environmental-sensing smart devices and services appear on the market, and the Amazon Echo, a smart home product released late last year, is just one of them. These environment-sensing smart devices focus on what's happening around them, learn how users behave, become familiar with their voices, understand what they're interested in to better understand the needs of users and provide smarter and more appropriate services.

Real-time monitoring of the health status of nanoparticles

What a wonderful thing it would be if we knew we were sick before we felt unwell. Now some technology companies design nano-particles into the human body, you can let users real-time monitoring of the body's health status. This new technology, combined with other advanced diagnostic technologies, allows users to immediately detect signs of disease, allowing them to be treated faster and better able to recover from the disease.

The appearance of the "Random programmer"

As microprocessors, sensors and cloud services become increasingly popular, becoming an integral part of people's homes, cars, and offices, "pervasive computing" will become a standard. For IoT products and service companies, the large number of new products on the market have made them so busy that providing the corresponding software and services has become a burden. Now that there is a shift in the software and services sector, the complex networked world around people will rely on "casual" (programming) to manage and control, which translates tools, services, and application interfaces that were formerly hackers and technology elites into a more user-friendly interface, A platform that is easier to operate and then handed over to an unprofessional programmer.

Technology changes the table

Most cutting-edge technology has been applied to the food supply chain in the near period, and in 2015 these technologies will have an impact on the table of every household. The food produced from the 3D printer, the healthy recipes tailored to the derived data, and the family farm, technology will revolutionize the family diet of the 21st century.

IoT technology in the kitchen

The 2015 market will be a large number of Internet kitchen equipment, radically change the way we produce and eat food. It's no longer impossible to see a robot downloading Italian recipes from the internet and then making an authentic Italian pizza for you, or using a smartphone for a cup of coffee.

To "move" the remaining 4 billion people.

The mobile industry is turning to emerging markets to make key services such as education and health care easier, more inclusive and more efficient. The future of this transition is unpredictable, and mobile solutions for the vast untapped market are currently in the process of development and design. Given that there are still 4 billion people yet to be linked to the network, we are very likely to make some far-reaching progress in this regard.

Personal information security is becoming more and more important

In many people's eyes, it seems that only those special people who live under the shadow need to use software or hardware that is especially information-safe. But with a series of serious hacking events in 2014, a large number of celebrities have been exposed to the private information of tens of thousands of civilians, and the security of information announcements (including voice, text, pictures and video) has become increasingly high. A series of new products appearing on the market will face these challenges, such as personal data safes that protect phone and video chat information. It is expected that more similar platforms will appear in the future, making it easier for you to go online anonymously.

4D printing technology in the ascendant

Imagine a situation where the equipment of all the products is assembled in a factory in the future, and the shape of the product can be changed after the user has used it for a while. For example, a 4D-printed chair becomes more comfortable after a long time, or the stress points become stronger and less susceptible to damage. This is the concept and goal of 4D printing technology presented by the research team led by MIT expert Skella-Tibis (Skylar tibbits). We are on the verge of change, 4D printing technology can make explosive progress at any time, please look forward to see in the near future, 4D printing technology to make considerable progress.

Digital currency replaces Fiat currency

Digital money, including passwords, will eventually grow. Governments are looking for appropriate frameworks and systems to manage and regulate digital currencies, which will also make the digital currency more frequent in people's daily financial transactions. Ecuador's Congress has agreed to create a digital currency, and the New York State Financial Services Authority is also considering a virtual currency exchange, and the UK government is soliciting information on the benefits and risks of the virtual currency. We can expect the digital currency to trade with the fiat currency, and ultimately the emergence of a free, flexible and universally applicable payment system on the existing financial ecosystem.

Intelligent devices combining behavioral cognitive therapy

The future of your application and wearable setting will not only diagnose your sleep apnea, stress and restlessness, but also provide you with timely treatment that has been clinically proven. The market has been flooded with health trackers in the 2014, and future smart devices that can provide treatment will rise: These hardware devices that track and provide data will work with software that is clinically validated and simulates behavioral cognitive therapy. These programs can address chronic health problems such as irregular sleep, stress, irritability, and so on.

A higher technology for everyday clothing

The clothes that people wear every day will also be transformed with the help of technology. More and more companies and designers are starting to create revolutionary smart textiles that either implant sensors or use stage technology to monitor users ' health, behavior and surroundings, and to change people's daily lives. Perhaps the hottest wearable device this year is an ordinary T-shirt you wear.

Family Mini Farm will be the mainstream

In 2015, perhaps every household would plant some organic lettuce and then exchange some other kinds of vegetables through social networks. People's habits of food production and consumption will be turned upside down, from the widespread popularity of community-supported agricultural models (CSA) to the spread of organic food, with the help of the latest intelligent food technology, consumers can thoroughly control their eating patterns and food. Some technology companies are developing a well-designed and easy-to-use home hydroponic and fish-vegetable symbiotic system, so that anyone can manage a mini farm through smartphones. A better and healthier diet seems to be in the near future.
