Humanity continues to do remarkable things and technology is improving at a rapid rate. With the year 2020 on the horizon, many people are wondering what the next big developments in tech will be. Read on to take a look at some of the reasons why 2020 is set to be a great year for tech.
There Will Be a High-Speed Rail That Connects Beijing to London
Astonishingly, there are plans to build a high-speed rail that is going to connect Beijing to London. This is going to make traveling to China much simpler and it has large ramifications. The initial plans are for China to pay for this incredible project, but it may take time for everything to come to fruition.
The Beginnings of Self-Driving Cars
Self-driving cars are coming and they will be here sooner than you might think. 2020 is going to be an important start for these autonomous vehicles. You might see the first few autonomous cars being used in 2020, but even if they aren’t, the groundwork will be laid for their eventual arrival.
Commercial Space Travel
Commercial space travel is coming down the pipeline as well. It’s going to take time for this burgeoning industry to work out the kinks, but it has the potential to make space accessible. Companies are already considering the possibilities of mining in space and people are also excited about the potential for space tourism.
Translation Will Become Simple Using Your Smartphone
People are working on making translating foreign languages easier than ever before. The idea is to have a translation app that can instantly translate words from one language to another. You should see versions of this coming to fruition in 2020, but it might take a few years longer to get it working with every language in the world.
Ultra-Thin OLED Screens
Another great development in tech is that there are ultra-thin OLED screens in the works. These screens are going to be able to make smartphones, televisions, and much more even better than ever. OLED screens offer great possibilities to allow touchscreens to become more prevalent in other areas as well. You might even see computational surfaces in people’s homes become a common feature using these ultra-thin OLED screens.
