I foresee that payment technologies will become far more advanced over the next 20 years. Today, NFC and QR are already part of our lives, but very soon biometric payments will be the safest and most valid method everywhere. By matching a fingerprint or retina scan against a credit card or bank account

Communication platforms will develop technology to allow people to share/broadcast not only images and sounds, but also sensory info, such as the smell of one's location, and tactile sensations (like a wind in the face, humidity, surface textures, etc). You will be able to share a complete immersive

The VR revolution comes to neural interfaces

VR technology has come a long way. Until the early 2020s, users had to slap on bulky helmets and squeeze into sensor suits. But progress never stands still. The helmets were replaced first by glasses, then lenses. Suits became electrode meshes. Now, in 2050, the industry is undergoing another revolution.

My prognosis is based on the idea that you can partially observe another human being’s mind if you transmit information between the two brains using electronic implants. I consider this a possibility after looking at the case of Tatiana and Krista Hogan, conjoined twins who can share their experiences

Human body tech: from prostheses to immortality

As areas of technological progress go, human body modification is one of the most exciting — yet one of the most unpredictable in terms of potential impact. The benefits are undeniable. Losing a limb will no longer be a stigma — far from it. Mass production of artificial organs, from hearts

The world around us is merely a set of brain stimulations. Some help us to see, others to enjoy, still others to monitor and control the organism, and so on. But very soon, companies developing neural interfaces (such as Neuralink) will be able to safely feed stimulations from a computer to the brain,

To work at great depths, deep-sea divers use pressure suits with built-in biomechanical exoskeletons. A durable carcass made of nanomaterials can protect individuals from high pressure. It also helps them feel stronger by augmenting their movements. The suit maintains a stable body temperature, compensating

By the year 2030, we could see the emergence of the first neural cybernetic technologies. Devices would capture electric signals from the brain and decode them into algorithms via wireless sensors. These devices would be integrated into the Internet of things' structural framework and could map our

News reports about personal data leaks tend to be about credentials for bank accounts and other online services. However, it is biological data that will soon be the most valuable kind. Unlike passwords and bank accounts, biodata cannot be changed, so the effects of any leak will be lifelong. Already,

The idea of ‘mind reading’ is ancient and has long been the province of magic and trickery rather than science.

The end of smart phones: Time for advanced brain-computer interfaces

By the year 2050, humans will no longer use smart phones. Instead, their brains will be directly connected to the internet through advanced brain-computer interfaces.

In older days, palms and fingers were scanned for identification. Now, palms and fingers with implanted sensors became scanners themselves. These implants come in different models, yet there are two main variations. First, a simple scanner for daily use: it helps to read different tags and product codes,
