2021 - Emerging Technologies
To say nothing of these emerging technologies would be blasphemous. Now, some of these may seem familiar to you, but we’re going to try our best to spice it up.
Human Augmentation
First, human augmentation is the process by which a person’s physical and cognitive ability is strengthened. For example, cognitive enhancements such as pharmaceuticals, electronic brain stimulation, and reducing the need to sleep, are among several that are being researched and tested.
Digital Debit
Next, digital debit refers to the use of a digital card or digital payment system to make purchases online. However, with the increasing credibility of cryptocurrency, traditional banks will have to adjust and adapt as digital payments grow in popularity.
Biometrics
Third, biometrics allows a system to recognize users by certain biological markers like their face, voice, or fingerprint. Further, such systems exist that recognize users by their irises.
Serverless Computing
Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, serverless computing isn’t entirely ‘serverless.’ That being said, serverless computing is more effective at distributing resources than traditional methods.
