Mind Reading, People Power, No Passwords: IBM Predicts Innovations Coming Within 5 Years
IBM is here to tell you that in 5 years doctors will be able to use your thoughts to rehabilitate you, your house will run off you running, and you'll never need to remember another password...and not get the s*** identity thefted out of you.
It's all part of their 5 in 5 initiative in which since 2006 they've been making predictions of new technologies. So how have they done? Not all have been spot on...but for what it's worth...
In 2006 they predicted smart phones would become a large part of everyone's life (iPhone released 2007), and that 3D technologies would make a comeback in movies and gaming (Avatar, 2009. 3DS, 2011), and in 2007 they predicted the use of smart phones to handle financial transactions.
They also predicted a 3D internet, doctors with super senses, buildings that fix themselves, and real time speech translation...so yeah. Check out some quick explanations of this years list in the videos below and check out their logic behind it on the site.
