Moore’s law is the observation that the processing power of computers doubles approximately every 18 months to two years, a trend in exponential growth that has been observed since Gordon E. Moore first predicted it in 1965. What this means is that human technological advancement is growing at an ever-increasing rate, therefore life 20 years from now will be even further away (technologically speaking) than we are from the 1990s to the present moment. With this level of technological growth, we may soon find ourselves living in a world with technologies that we had previously thought impossible or had relegated only to the world of science fiction. Best of all, there are already some new technologies in the works that are sure to change the face of the coming decade and improve the quality of life for humans all over the world.
Here are just a few of the technologies you might benefit from in your Lady Lake apartment within the next 10 years:
• Energy-efficient desalination – Water shortages around the world might be solved by highly efficient forward osmosis systems that reduce the costs and increase the effectiveness of purifying ocean water to make it drinkable.
• Self-healing materials – Scientists are currently hard at work on plastic polymers that can repair themselves when torn, cracked, or melted. This new technique is called biomimicry, and while it won’t be featured on products you can purchase in the near future, one day every product you buy will be able to repair some of its own damage, just like humans heal from a cut or bruise.
• New levels of connectivity – Today, you can use a remote control to access your television and perhaps your sound system. Soon, you may be able to control every electronic appliance in your home, from your microwave to your TV, with a single control or interface device.
• 3D printing –3D printing has taken great leaps and bounds in recent years, and it is already changing the face of manufacturing as we know it. In the near future, private inventors may be able to buy 3D printers for a few thousand (or a few hundred) dollars and print themselves working prototypes of their inventions as a proof of product. 3D printing is also already being used in medicine to create copies of organs using donor stem cells, and may one day be advanced enough to replace complex organs like hearts or livers.
