Horizon Europe, the EU Research and Innovation Framework Program for the period 2021-2027, is one of the milestones that have marked community authorities to live a new revolution in the economies of the Member States. A new decade therefore opened by the total connectivity that has been brought out of the 5G networks.
The low latency of the fifth generation of mobile phone technologies will lead to the famous internet concept of things achieving its maximum splendor. As a result, the devices can almost speak with each other.
It will be the moment of the truth of the autonomous car, but the appearance of the technology industry continues. The total connection also refers to people, and its association with the devices. There have already been a few small scale tests with prototypes and they seem to show that this type of technology is viable. One of the most advanced is Elon Musk with his Neuralink project.
The first rehearsals of the R&D laboratories of the leading universities in the sector already work with the human body as a ‘gadget’. In fact, it is expected that technological implants are a reality in this new decade.
Some experts also predict that in this new decade we will see how different intelligent devices implant in the body reach the market, starting with chips to send small amounts of information, for example to make payments or to open special locks. Robot -like forearm prosthesis has already been developed by companies such as Open Bionics, which detect the muscle movements of their users to articulate dolls and hands.
It also works on connection with the brain to even control prostheses. At the moment they usually have a few connecting errors with the nerves and they limit the mobility of the person, problems that are solved while resolving on other points, such as giving a sense of touch by sensors that are installed in it. The problem is that the most autonomous price is still very high.
To reach certain destinations on horseback between transport and tourism, a virtual reality viewer (VR) will only be necessary. At least that thinks that Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook. The doubt is to see whether the Virtual Reality really wins the favor of the public, whether the cat is brought to the water to the water or everything stays in the mixed. At present, this latter can perform an operation in an operating room.
Wind turbines that are maintained in the air (with helium or planning wings) and 3D printers for organic materials (bio -impression for health purposes) can also stop being theory by 2030.
