Business Technology
14 growing industries of the future. In the past few years, the leaps being made in our entire global economic system are quicker and larger than ever. Not many economists or Tech experts can answer with confidence how they Envision the economy, 20 years from today, As new technologies are prevailing New Horizons are being tapped and new Industries are being shaped that we never thought of until recently, being able to forecast. These changes will be the most critical factor in your decision, to pursue a certain career or invest in one industry or the other. That's why we thought we should imagine together which way the ship is sailing. So here are 14 growing industries of the future.
Number one internet of things in the past, the internet was the thing that most of us used only when we were on our computers, then some years ago, it began making it to our mobile phones. Then our video game consoles. And today, we're heading in apath where we won't need to say I'm on the internet, any longer? I did not see that coming almost oh,we used both indoors and Outdoors will be on the internet from our fridges and washing machines to our power supply and home security systems. That's why knowledge of networks data communication and software will be skills that are needed in pretty much every single industry out there. Manufacturing construction, and service Industries will be on a constant search for new internet based mechanisms to incorporate into their product, in order to gain an edge in the market. The tech Geeks will become the ones, helping operate our entire environment, the internet of things will, Actually include almost all of the things internet, so help. Number two. Artificial intelligence, Google studies our Behavior Facebook, learns our preferences. We ask Siri to find Us near places to eat and we let Amazon guide us through the vast aisles ofthe digital Market ever. Since themachines, began acquiring knowledge of their own. They've taken huge leaps towards developing a real humanly Consciousness. Today, we are on the verge of an era where we will move around in self-driving, cars work, alongside robots and read books or listen. Listen to music that was created by a machine. Some of us are actually doing some of these things already. Alexa, can you pour me acup of water watch, watch, watch, watch what the field of artificial intelligence in the coming decades, will become one of the most vibrant arenas for Endless. Experimentation also, as everything becomes connected, thanks tothe internet of things more, and more data related, our Behavior will be collected and the Teens will have infinitely more material to learn from. Don't forget that, artificial intelligence is not only a field that is exclusive to the computer scientists we're talking about creating brains like hours and potentially ones that will even be way more powerful than ours. They will live with talk to. And affect us that makes the field as much a field of interest for computer scientists as it is for psychologists philosophers politicians. And managers. There will be people to create it, others to observe it and once to decide how we will live with it, Number three, cyber security. We've already talked about two industries that will make our entire existence more and more dependent on computer systems. With that will come more vulnerability to cyber attacks. Hackers are already able to access bank accounts, steal classified State information, freeze entire company's completely and get their hands on ourpersonal information. Without proper cyber security systems though. They will soon have potential access to everything connected to the internet, which will be Almost everything around us from our houses to our cars to the medical equipment at hospitals. That's why the cybersecurity industry is our only hope for any real Security in the future. And so it will grow all the more important as more things in our daily lives get connected. This industry is our main Safeguard against Humanity's future dreams turning into real nightmares. Number for genomics, 15 years ago, exactly in 2003, the US founded Human Genome Project which had begun in 1990 was finally capable of sequencing and mapping. The human genetic code. This project cost three billion dollars. If things had stated that cost, the industry wouldn't carry much hope. Since not many people would have been willing to enter into something that expensive.
But today sequencing a genome I'm cost just around the thousand dollars today. The field of genomics is at its highest level of vigor with players like Bill Gates. And Google jumping on its bandwagon with billions of dollars in Investments. With the research being more facilitated genomics is expanded to completely transform, our understanding of the human body's components and our ability to cure and nurture. It are Safeguard against cancer, diabetes.
And even our hope to quickly adapt our bodies tothe Sky, High rates of change in our environments, in the Aids to come all lie in genomics. That's an industry. That is expected to become worth more than 20 billion in 2022. That's only one year from now. Number five, drones drone technology is now becoming more and more affordable in the same way we just mentioned with genomics in the near past. There were times when drones were only novelty items that most of us only associated with war and bomb dropping. This one was just aprecaution today, drones are already becoming Central to every day non-military tasks, like photography journalism and like Amazon's use of them for delivery. The future is all for adrones though. Though. And they will become used in everything from agriculture to delivering emergency aid for victims of heart attacks, as they keep on gaining some intelligence of their own as they already are.
It won't be long before law enforcement agency. Start using them for patrol and let these flying Hawks identify the bad guys. There's literally no limit to the potential drone applications. Number 6 robotics for several years now more and more warehouses and manufacturing, plants have been including robots in their Workforce. Now we have Sophia the Saudi Arabian humanoid. That was the first robot to acquire a national citizenship and there are robots that are entertaining the seniors, in retirement, homes in Japan.
Very soon, we'll be having robots as our friends co-workers and in-house assistance. Alot ofmy mat handle it. That's why we now have robot relationship. Jurors to decide what set of rules will shape our interactions with robots. Some people might be afraid that robots will one day take over our jobs, but if you're aperson working in the vast field of Robotics, that's not afear that you should share. Number seven virtual reality being able to simulate certain situations and environments without the costs and risks of the same experience. In real life. Opens up a gold, mine of potential applications that we could or could not imagine at the Moment, the technology of VR is already being used by military forces to train their soldiers. People who are taking driver's license tests as well as in video games companies are also using VR to train their employees. Like ExxonMobil who use the technology to train its engineers and field workers on fuel production processes and that's only the tip of a massive Iceberg. Number eight nanotechnology. There are countless ways in which we The species have our hopes hanging on advancements in the field of nanotechnology today. There is extensive research in the field with the applications, ranging from medicine to agriculture. The possibilities are being studied regarding how we can use nanotechnology to speed up bone, cell growth, thedetection of cancer cells, creating self cleaning surfaces and implementing healthier, and more efficient irrigation methods. All of that potential says, that the future of nanotechnology is only pointed in One Direction. Endless Advancements that comefrom, it's nanotech. You like it. Number 9, renewable energy for several years. A growing number of people are getting into a never inflating state of existential panic because of the climate change, that is taking place.
As aresult of our two centuries. Long use of fossil fuels, as our primary source of energy, with more people, coming to realize the magnitude of the global warming threat, governments companies and private individuals. Are taking steps towards depending on renewable sources of energy, like solar and wind The Internet of Things. Boom is set to further help these plans materialized by facilitating private power supply networks. According to some estimates renewable, energy is expected tofulfill Almost 100% ofthe power supply needed to run the world's economy by 2050.
Number 10 sharing economy, we're moving towards aworld where we will barely own stuff anymore. We're coming to realize that it's often cheaper and more efficient to rent, whatever we can give up on owning. We're here toserve you with acourt-ordered eviction, okay? We've been increasingly doing it with car rides as more people are using sharing services like uber and the same with real estate renting services.
Like Airbnb today, more services are joining. That new Sharing model with apps being built on rental services for household equipment, office spaces, and even Leisure boats, thanks to smart, phones. More people areconnected. And thus, gaining access to these services on both the provider and consumer sides. Number 11, be learning as we shift towards afuture more dependent on Innovation than on formal College certificates and where the value ofyour knowledge is based on what you can create and not what degrees you hold. And finally facilitated by all the geez we just mentioned e-learning is definitely the future of Education with more people on the internet than ever before and with VR technology and artificial intelligence applications expanding into our daily lives. Creating more engaging customizable and effective. Learning experiences will make e-learning the primary means of Education in thenot very far future. Number 12, Big Data.
You probably noticed that almost every industry we mentioned is dependent on data in one way or another data is what artificial intelligence systems. Learn from and increasing the efficiency of our economic decisions will be in the first place. A matter of good data whoever is able to acquire data and has the proper methods for analyzing, it will be acentral player in the future economy data scientists are right now, becoming Essential players in every Arena from marketing to healthcare to politics.
Number 13, 3D printing, 3D printing Technologies. Now include all kinds of material, enabling individuals to home manufacture, their own spare parts, and stationery items. And atthe same time, giving companies new alternatives for construction and car manufacturing. This technology is giving us bright visions of afuture, where manufacturing is democratized, will itbe the end of mass production possibly? But that's a bit far-fetched and extra optimistic. What we know is that 3D I think will transform our manufacturing capabilities and costs and will make us as individuals able to create our own products in our very own homes. It will also cut alarge portion of companies construction and Manufacturing costs. All we can be sure of is that 3D printing is the tool of our new industrial era. Number 14, blockchain technology with the Bitcoin frenzy that is taken over the world's financial markets. In the past, couple of years we came to Equally hear the term blockchain it's the decentralized public Ledger mechanism at the heart of cryptocurrencies, but cryptocurrencies are far from. It's only application. If there is one technology that has the potential to create the decentralized comprehensive ecosystem that will facilitate all of these other Industries. We mentioned in a more secure and efficient way. It is definitely blockchain. Based on this technology, there arecompanies being launched that want to put our finances research identity management and even voting.
Processes on the blockchain. It's basically the new face of the internet and Innovations. Inthis technology will become among the most valuable contributions anyone can make to the Future economy.
