IBM published a new forecast regarding the technologies and innovations that may change the patterns of life and work in the coming years
IBM's five-in-five forecast is an annual list presented by the company, based on market analysis and social behavior - as well as on the technological developments that are being born in IBM's research laboratories.
IBM experts estimate that in the next five years we will witness a series of new and growing trends.
Our cell phone will be a wallet, a machine for purchasing tickets, intelligence, a bank, a friend-companion for shopping and much more than all these. IBM predicts that in the next five years the cell phone will become a shopping guide, displaying, for example, a XNUMXD image of a person wearing the garment you are examining in a store, accompanying tourists in visiting cities and museums with guidance adapted to the point where they are standing and their interests, and offering the purchase of tickets to shows or booking seats at a restaurant in the user's preferred area.
Ease of adopting "green" behavior patterns - and financial gains in this process. A wide variety of smart energy technologies will allow each person to reduce and reduce his "environmental footprint".
According to IBM's forecast, more and more systems will be connected directly to a smart electricity grid, will know how to use electricity during the hours when it is cheaper, will be activated remotely using a cell phone or any web browser that will make it possible to notify, for example, the air conditioner at home to come into operation shortly before returning home or the office - Instead of leaving it on throughout the day.
People will drive on the roads in a completely different way: in the next five years, communication between cars and between the cars and the road, traffic lights and traffic control systems will be made possible, improving the level of safety, preventing entry into traffic jams, reducing the emission of pollutants and reducing the pressure on the driver. According to IBM's forecast, sensors will be integrated in both the car and the road infrastructure, and these will assist the driver in driving and initiate more aggressive action in dangerous situations.
People knew better what they were eating. IBM predicts that new technological systems will make it possible in the next five years to know exactly what the ingredients are in every product we buy in the supermarket, where it was made and what went through it before it reached the shelf. Development in software and communication technologies will make it possible to accurately report to consumers about the places of cultivation, the composition of the soil, the transport temperature and the quality of the air that gave birth to the dish that will be placed on the dining table.
Doctors will benefit from improved tools for diagnosis and treatment. IBM experts predict that new technological tools being developed today will allow doctors to acquire deeper and faster insights and treat their patients better in the next five years. This is based on growing databases, which will allow them to display, among other things, a complete three-dimensional image of the patient's body, and illustrate his historical and updated medical records in a completely new format, around this image. The computer will compare these records with hundreds of thousands of other patients' records - in order to offer proven treatment and diagnosis patterns.

As stated earlier, the technologies exist
http://www.inviatech.com
All of the above technologies already exist in the market more or less, only that they are not in the public domain, the desire of the above companies is to create more interest and thereby make it practical, therefore the predictions are a bit exaggerated but it is normal that from this the progress is only 5 percent From what is written
A stinking article from the position of a commercial company
Or in Limor's language:
If you ask the seller at my grocery store, he will tell you to eat more bread.
I agree with the first comment.
Maybe we should replace the word 'contracts' with the word 'want'.
People will not want to transfer powers to their vehicle's computer.
After we already have robots with consciousness walking around among us, it's not really fascinating.
It's amazing how these ridiculous predictions come out every time, painted in the colors of a futuristic world from a 50th grade MDB movie. It's okay when you predict XNUMX years ahead - so anyway it's a game of imagination that doesn't really have anything to do with the present. But five years ahead? For decades we have been talking about the fact that here, literally in a year or two, the cars will communicate with each other and with command systems and the drive will be automatic/very safe/amazingly economical/without traffic jams, etc., etc.
The same goes for full information in real time when buying food.
The only thing that seems plausible is about the cell phone, but it's not really futuristic anyway, since most of these applications are already coming in today.
IBM is one of the most prominent in groundbreaking developments and research in the technological and scientific front. Get off the bullshit.
