Only the digital crimes will be responsible for the electronic identification means

The Internet will continue to thrive in 2005, with the browser playing a central role in our lives. Nanotechnology will become mainstream and enable a new and wide range of products, ethanol-based fuel cells will "hit the market" while enabling a portable power source that will last for days, weeks and even months. This is according to a new study conducted by the accounting and consulting firm Deloitte, on trends in technology for 2005.
Robots will enter homes and help with household chores. Space exploration will also come from the direction of the private sector. Wireless "MESH" networks will appear, and will allow the authorities to locate and track equipment and assets in the field, and the path to quantum computers, which are faster than the supercomputers that exist today, will be significantly shorter.
In the face of all these, there will be considerable challenges - various electronic forms of personal identification will become common as a safety measure, but on the other hand, identity theft and digital crimes will continue to run rampant. At the same time, viruses, worms and various other "pests" will continue to multiply and spread in the network and mobile devices and will cause heavy damages to the industry, loss of information and time and frustration among the population.
The three main trends for 2005, as identified by Deloitte, will be:
Nanotechnology is becoming mainstream
Nanotechnology, one of the most talked about and yet least understood technologies, will become mainstream in 2005. Nanotechnology is already "revolutionizing" a wide variety of products, from drives to sunscreen and car tires, and will soon become one of the cornerstones of the industry. Developments and improvements will be required by the largest companies in the world and the nanotechnology companies will achieve large sales turnovers for the first time. Possible uses would be "nanospheres" that would deliver drugs directly to the target cells, small and fast processors and tiny data storage devices. Tiny particles will also be used in order to produce fabrics resistant to stains, wrinkles and bacteria.
Rampage of electronic viruses - losses worth billions of dollars
The massive increase in interconnected technological means, from computers to cell phones and game consoles, will contribute to the spread of viruses and other electronic attacks. Nuisances such as SPAM and SPIM will continue to thrive, and along with these, we will also witness more harmful invasions such as viruses, worms and destructive software, as well as attacks on devices that support Bluetooth and even VOIP SPAM - this trend will result in losses worth billions of dollars In lost information and time. At the same time, it will be an opportunity for companies that develop computerized protection measures and new businesses will emerge from the cellular activities, the service providers and the system adapters.
Electronic identification versus digital crime
Governments around the world will replace paper-based identification tags with electronic ones. These new forms of identification will be used for passports, identification cards, bank and credit cards and will contain a lot of information about their owners (name, address, photo citizenship and even biometric information).
Electronic identification will try to rule out the possibility of fraud and predictions but will also be expressed in the accelerated identification speed and the speed of identification verification. Despite this, predictions or "identity theft" will become more and more common, especially among those who manage their business online (both individuals and businesses) and therefore many resources will be allocated to prevent these fraud possibilities.
