In 2020, there are still 10 years from now. In 10 years, the time does not seem to be very long. What will the earth and society on which we live will become? In many of your imaginations, it is surely more than just a 10-year old look.
What is the development of technology? Is it possible to realize the previously unattainable dream? Forbes magazine foresaw the future of us 10 years later: personal life, education, technology, economy, energy, society... The basis of this prediction comes from real data, reasoning, and facts. In addition, there are some gaps. They have joined some of the strict scientific fantasies.
Is this the future of the world you imagined? If you are interested, you can sign up for a look at Forbes to express your thoughts, as Malcolm Forbes puts it, for the future of judgment and imagination: "There is always a right and a half wrong between right and wrong."
Decades ago, people predicted that "pervasive computing" would be widely used in the future. (Pervasive computing is the use of radio network technology to enable people to enjoy information in an environment that is not limited by time and space, through integrated seamless technology, to make it easier for people to use and save time.) Enjoying information anytime, anywhere sounds a bit unbelievable What is even more unthinkable is that pervasive computing means that computers will lose their important status, but this is the life of 2020. Due to the advancement of digital technology, the meaning of future work will change greatly. However, in 2020, universal computing is not considered as cutting-edge technology, but has been widely used.
Personal world to carry with you
In 2020, people will find something that they lost in 2010.
Many schools around the world are trying to ban the use of mobile phones in the classroom. In some regions of Asia, the popularity of mobile phones is faster than in the United States. Schools in these regions have given up the ban on using mobile phones in class. For Hong Kong students, mobile phones are essential. "Mobile" means that you can "carry" your own world. By 2020, it's hard to imagine someone going out without a mobile device. In the future, carrying mobile devices with you will become a widely accepted standard and an inherent part of everyday life.
In the future life, if technology further hides behind the scenes, what will occupy the front position? That will be the humanity people have always valued in the "real world." At present, people believe that science, science and technology, engineering, and mathematics education are the keys to innovation. In the future, they will realize that they should join the humanities discipline in these four kinds of education. As a result, people will witness the return of complete technology, human creation, and the rebalancing of the material and spiritual world. People will see the renaissance of the humanities in the 21st century, and culture and business will become the centerpiece of the individual.
The software industry will gladly accept the return of technological value. By 2020, the software industry will return to the era of “handwork workshops†and customize different software for different users instead of the current large-scale industrial production. It will become part of a larger "hand-made" trend. This trend of returning to the manual era has instilled human emotions and cherish the integrity. This trend has already begun to appear in the application market of mobile phones. There are fewer and fewer monopolized participants and the marketing cost is almost zero. Almost anyone can install application software on Apple, Google and Blackberry phones. Designing these applications requires attention and attention, which is often lacking in large companies.
In the future, people will no longer be satisfied with the streamlined production of large-scale production, and rediscover the value of personal creation. Technology in 2020 will allow individual manufacturers to have the operational capabilities that were once enjoyed by large companies. On social networking sites, personal communication will rise. They will publish their own news like major media. In the application software market, personal brands can also occupy a place. Individual brands like “Bobby Scura†can also be like Olympics. More than the software company sells its own goods. Some people think that this will be an era of re-learning to trust individuals rather than brands. The loyal customers of a certain brand will become the past. What is certain is that people’s trust in brands is now facing challenges.
People nowadays have virtually no idea of ​​their actual capacity when filling folders on a computer's desktop. However, when people store paper documents, they are sure whether they have more or less documents, because paper can give people a real sense of touch and visual sense.
It is difficult for humans to give up the feeling of seeing and touching real objects. Therefore, more and more new designs will emerge in the future, allowing the best balance between virtual reality and reality. The subtleties that people easily perceive in the real world can quickly be realized on a computer screen.
The past 20 years have been filled with technological changes that have caused science and technology and the digital world to become the main carriers of consumer culture. Educators, legislators, futurists, and social scientists have had to pay attention to them. The good news is that as people become more accustomed to science and technology, the time has come for another dialogue. People will think and discuss what they will find in life.
So what will replace technology? It will begin with human sciences, design, and individuals: a large number of individually designed, manufactured products and the resulting culture, hand-made by people whom they trust, to capture the subtleties and imperfections cherished in the real world. It's as if people will find something lost in 2010 in 2020.
