Making predictions about the technology of the future is tricky. But they should be done to give investors, policymakers, producers and directors an idea of how to capitalise on the future. The infographic below gives a comprehensive picture of what to expect in terms of technology.

Several companies have already fallen over in recent years that failed to respond to the changing technology market. Think of Kodak, Nokia, Sears and Blockbuster. It is therefore important to keep an eye on developments and think about the market in 10 years' time and the technological innovations associated with it.
Futurism/Visual Capatilast has pucled an interesting and very comprehensive infographic in which it has made an attempt, based on various sources, to collect the most interesting predictions about the future of technology. The information for this comes from Scientific American and The National Academy of Sciences, among others.
Predicting the future
The confluence of robotics, artificial intelligence and increasing automation is a prevailing trend reflected throughout the composite timeline on future technology.
Other predictions include that in less than 10 years we will be able to control machines through eye movements and we will ingest nano-robots that repair damage in our bodies. As if they were tiny surgeons.
AI
The next wave of AI is also expected to become a reality: by 2036, predictive artificial intelligence will be able to predict even the near future, according to experts. Elections, weather, geopolitical events and other dynamic systems will be analysed using thousands or millions of data streams.
In terms of batteries, they include batteries that convert CO2 to generate electricity and 'nuclear batteries' that do their work on nuclear waste. It is predicted that even the much-cited climate change will be addressed by interesting techniques, including carbon splitting.
