At the end of each year, IBM examines market and societal trends expected to transform our lives, as well as emerging technologies from their labs, to develop a multi-year forecast called “The Next 5 in 5” – five technological innovations that will change our lives in the next five years.
The one I like, because I am so forgetful, is “You will never need a password again”. On the other hand, some of their forecasts from previous years seem a little way off. Share your thoughts…
Nice ideas, but #1 surely wont work. If a device extracts energy from a system, then the system will have to work harder to do what it was doing previously. Yes, I used to have a dynamo on my bike for the light, but it made it harder to pedal. You can’t just make energy from someones movement without some impact.
Would be happy to get rid of those pesky passwords though!!!
