6 Cool technologies that are about to change our lives: Cloud computing and 3D printing

Let's think about how many technology products have changed our lives. Over the past 5-6 years, smartphones, tablets, touch-screen technology, Internet TV, Facebook, Twitter, free wifi ... these technologies (products) have developed rapidly. It all comes so quickly and naturally that you don't seem to feel like you're going to hold them in your arms.

In the coming years, they will bring new changes to your work, your entertainment and even your travels. Do you think the Internet and mobile phones have changed the way people live? So the following 6 technologies will continue to change our future life.

Cloud Technology: The field is just beginning

Thanks to the advertising campaigns of Microsoft's Windows7 system, most people know the word "cloud". Cloud computing has opened, but it is still in its infancy. Cloud computing gives us the ability to get unlimited computing very cheaply. In the cloud, we can measure the size of the foot by touch screen and automatically enter order processing, complete the action of buying shoes; our society will need no more libraries (other than storing some historical documents); We can get any help from experts through video.

Analytical techniques: Like the brain in the clouds

Analysis means processing a large amount of real-time data and dealing with a model or required answer in a timely manner. Data analysis has brought us a product tool like Google Flu trends and social media analytics.

Distributed computing: Holding large data in your palm

Distributed computing is an analytical technique, also known as "large data" technology. It collects large amounts of data, spreads it quickly across low-cost computers, and makes rapid analysis. The technology has been applied to Google, Yahoo, Facebook, EBay, LinkedIn, Zynga, and many companies.

IPV6: Next-generation Internet

The internet is slowly experiencing an upgrade. The current Internet Protocol is IPV4, and the upcoming version is what we call the IPV6. IPV6 will allow a huge amount of equipment to connect to the Internet, about 2 of the 95-time equipment. That is, allowing 340,282,366,920,938,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 of devices to become part of the Internet. Everything in your home, such as electrical appliances, doors, windows, cameras, bathrooms and so on, can be connected to the network.

Low power power supply sensor: lets you interact with everything around you

To make everything connected to the Internet, small, low-power sensors become a necessity. There are already many different types of low-power sensors such as ZigBee, Z, and 6lopan, which can run for years under the same power supply. These sensors can be attached to anything: traffic lights, trains and even your keys. And they can be programmed to tell you the information you need.

3D Printing

It can now make a lot of products, even if it's something like a hairdryer, the process is like printing a document, which is 3D printing. And when every family has one, we move on to Star Trek's "Replication Machine." While such machines and components are now very expensive, startups like Printbot and MakerBot will slowly change that.
