Last year the world saw a surge of technological advancements that became a part of daily households and everyday lifestyle. Here are a list of big technological breakthroughs that you’ll be excited to hear about.
1. The Internet of Things (IoT)
The Internet of Things connects all your devices for a seamless navigation throughout your digital life.
Using an array of wireless technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc., IoT brings together all your digital spaces for ease and convenience. However, some believe that instead of making things easier, it just makes it more complicated.
2. Synthetic Food
With increasing population that leads to more awareness and demands, synthetic food is on a rise. Things like nutritional powders have been in the market for a few years now, but it has picked up momentum only last year.
Companies like Solyentand Beyond Meat are researching vigorously and developing foods that are high in nutritional value and are also matched for the fast paced lifestyle of the people today. Some companies are even researching on growing protein based foods, like eggs and meat.
3. Virtual Reality
Virtual reality has been a hit since early 2016. No matter how strange the concept of walking around with a head set in the “real world” sounds, it’s been making the rounds worldwide. Ask the gaming community, they would vouch for it.
A step ahead of that is augmented reality which gives you access to products and more information about them in a real store, but virtually. You can point your phone camera at a certain object and search engines will give you an expansive description about the product in focus. One of the big hits in this realm has been Pokémon Go.
4. 3D Printing
5 years into the market, Consumer-grade 3D printers are now a popular fad and are also available at affordable prices. Not only are prices going to drop but there will be new launches this year. With the easy availability, it seems as if by the end of this year people will be printing their holiday gifts and not cards.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are many more technology updates hitting the market in 2017. Share with us your favorite tech updates; be it new gadgets or a revolutionary invention, we want to know your thoughts.
