Human Augmentation: Human 2.0

Have you ever wondered what would happen if humans had superpowers like reel life superheroes? What would happen if technological devices when inserted into the human body could inculcate real-life physical and mental strength into humans? Sounds crazy right? It indeed is.

Woman in Technology

Through Human Augmentation, which is sometimes called Human 2.0, the cognitive capabilities of humans can be improved either by implants or consumption. You might have already heard of a few of them like binoculars, cochlear implants, artificial pacemakers, etc.

The future holds immense potential for this field of technology and this trend is worth knowing more about.

Robotics

Imagine a future scenario in which Robots take up the workload related to manufacturing and development. Not only will it replace manual labor but ensure the efficiency of production. Undoubtedly, a plethora of manufacturing companies has already stepped into the semi-automated mode of operation.

RPF(Robotic Process Automation) technology is increasingly being utilized in workplaces where there are several repetitive tasks to be performed. For instance, in hospitals, several tasks like appointment scheduling and billing can be easily automated so that the staff fixates their valuable time on tasks that need urgent attention.

Apart from this, Collaborative robots or cobots are successfully invading the jobs that earlier required human workers and they tend to be more efficient at their job. Therefore, Robotics industry trends are worth getting hooked to for all the techies out there.

5G Network

An internet connection that everyone is waiting for will be on board in the years to come. Until now, we have leveraged 3G and 4G connectivities through will we could easily binge-watch our favorite shows on Netflix or watch youtube.

But the change the 5G network will bring on to our lies is going to be revolutionary. It is most likely that 5G technology can be used in smart retails and also in HD cameras used in traffic management. Top telecom companies have started working on building 5G applications making the latter more likely to be launched in the market by 2024.

Blockchain

According to Wikipedia’s definition of Blockchain, “blockchain is a growing list of records, called blocks, that are linked together using cryptography”.

To put it into simple terms, a blockchain is a trusted database containing information in the form of blocks which makes it easier to track data, keeping it unique and unmodifiable. In short, it can be understood as a secure file that is encrypted and hence can be trusted upon easily for data storage. NFTs, Bitcoins, and Cryptocurrency are using blockchain technology which makes it the most exciting technology trend of 2022.

So these were the best technology trends to watch out for this year. Tell me about a technology you would like to dive more deeper into this year in the comments.
