BANGALORE, INDIA: The next Five in Five is based on market and societal trends as well as emerging technologies from IBM's labs around the world that can make these transformations possible.
Here are how five technologies will define the future...
You will be able to power your home with the energy you create yourself.
Anything that moves or produces heat has the potential to create energy that can be captured. Walking. Jogging. Bicycling. The heat from your computer. Even the water flowing through your pipes.
Advances in renewable energy technology will allow individuals to collect this kinetic energy, which now goes to waste, and use it to help power our homes, workplaces and cities.
Imagine attaching small devices to the spokes on your bicycle wheels that recharge batteries as you peddle along. You will have the satisfaction of not only getting to where you want to go, but at the same time powering some of the lights in your home.
Your biological makeup is the key to your individual identity, and soon, it will become the key to safeguarding it.
You will no longer need to create, track or remember multiple passwords for various log-ins. Imagine you will be able to walk up to an ATM machine to securely withdraw money by simply speaking your name or looking into a tiny sensor that can recognize the unique patterns in the retina of your eye. Or by doing the same, you can check your account balance on your mobile phone or tablet.
Each person has a unique biological identity and behind all that is data. Biometric data – facial definitions, retinol scans and voice files – will be composited through software to build your DNA unique online password.
Next: Junk mail will become priority mail...
