I want to tell you a
good news:
in the future, there
will be almost no traffic accidents. Sensors around the vehicle will track all
obstacles and react automatically. do not worry. At some point, you will also
drive such a connected car. About 75% of all cars will be connected by 2020,
and by 2030 almost all vehicles will join the Internet of Things. This means
that the driver's license will be eliminated and the driving school will
disappear. In addition, gas stations and auto repair shops are no longer necessary.
For example, if the car needs to be adjusted, predictive maintenance will
automatically detect and repair the vehicle.
Today, no one can imagine that there has been traffic
congestion. Now our vehicles can communicate with each other on the road. For
example, if a road has a traffic jam, the incoming vehicle only needs to select
another route, which does not require the GPS navigation equipment we usually
use.
How the Internet of
Things changes the city
Everything has become more efficient. We almost no longer
have to wait in the traffic. Street lights with cameras and sensors analyze the
location and number of road users. They can change from red to green
autonomously. Driving around the block to find free parking? out-of-date! Since
the car park is networked, your car will navigate to the nearest available
parking space. Cars can even slow down the speed automatically in front of
crosswalks and schools.
The streets have also become more secure. For example, the
camera on the lamp post monitors the entire road so that the pickpocket can be
identified immediately. Also, the embedded SIM card on your wallet or handbag
card will automatically signal the location.
Smart street lights offer a big advantage: once someone or
the vehicle is close, the smart LED street light will illuminate and vice
versa. This technology saves more than half the power of traditional bulbs.
Support for everyday
life
Internet of Things in
the medical field
Wait. My mother is on the phone and she is sick. She is in
her 80s and lives alone. Yesterday morning, the emergency application reminded
me that the mother's health sensor measured abnormal results. With telemedicine
diagnostics, the computer checks all the data again. I booked a flight taxi to
send her to see a doctor. The doctor knows the situation because he also
received the results. Fortunately, it was not as bad as expected. She just had
a low fever, so the doctor gave her a shot. I am going to see my mother. We
have been worried about the problem with the 3D kidneys installed two months
ago, but fortunately this is not the case. Organs that no longer work are now
replaced by artificial organs printed on 3D printers. Do you think this is
amazing? Back to the present, prosthetics are made this way, and researchers are
working on the development of artificial blood vessels. In animal experiments,
scientists can even make functional ovaries.
You may have heard of flying taxis in 2017, and the testing
phase begins in 2017. I personally remember the original attempt in 2020, when
drones from Uber Elevate transported passengers in Dubai. These drones have
been a huge success because they don't require a driver or a runway. They take
off vertically and land in the same way. Therefore, the traffic network is no
longer limited to two-dimensional planes, but makes full use of
three-dimensional space. The computer is programming the route, and then you
can set off. There is a charging station waiting for you. When I saw the
relevant information, I really wanted to take a drone. I was 15 years old and I
can't imagine how this flight would be a natural thing one day. It’s amazing to
take off like this and float between the skyscrapers without any noise or
exhaust. Until now, only flight taxis have been able to fly in the air like this.
But this situation may change. Scientists only need to solve the problem of how
to regulate traffic in the air. But thanks to sensors, communication networks
and camera monitoring, this problem should be solved soon.
Smartphone completely
disappears
You may want to know where the phone is? I personally no
longer need a mobile phone. The last generation of smartphone ePhone 15,
manufactured in 2025, but the sales are not good. This is not surprising. I
remember how troublesome it was to keep a mobile phone in my hand. The way to
communicate, shop, play and collect information through HoloLens glasses is
more intuitive. You may have noticed that in 2017, the first model of HoloLens
(which was still quite immature at the time) entered the market. Then, Microsoft
announced the end of the smartphone, and Trendone innovation researchers
predict that we will not have to produce any digital communication equipment by
2027 at the latest. Both of these things are completely correct.
This is also more practical. If I want to know if there is
broccoli in the house, I will ask my HoloLens via voice control. I would choose
to use it as glasses or as a smart contact lens. Either way, she can tell me
the result, if I agree, the vegetables will go directly to my virtual shopping
list and notify the grocery store directly.
How the Internet of
Things makes life easier
Do you know? I feel much better, though I am worried about
my mother. Cheerful music is very useful. My smart bracelet plays the most
popular music. Title: "The days of 2017 are really bad." This
bracelet not only measures my blood sugar, pulse and blood pressure, but also
judges my mood. If pressure or sorrow is detected, the bracelet will react,
play music or remind me of the good times of the past. Having said that, I can
go to a coffee shop where nothing has changed. Or, I can go shopping. This idea
is good.
Trust me! Life in 2030 is much easier. Everything is
connected. According to data from IT research firm Gartner, there are 8 billion
connected devices in 2017. In 2020, IBM reported 30 billion devices. Today,
there are no more devices that are not connected via the Internet. This saves a
lot of time because the information is automatically passed from the device to
the device. Strictly speaking, the data automatically knows where to go.
The things our generation has to deal with government
agencies will continue to decrease. You no longer need an ID card. In the
future, biometrics such as your eyes and fingerprints will determine your
identity. You will no longer be in danger of losing your ID card.
