The future is big and expanding, especially for technology. Its meteorite growth presents a host of new issues and ultimately responsibilities. Technology’s rapid evolution moves the existential blockers. Enter machine learning, driverless cars, and virtual reality. Shall we mention bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, probably not?

Coding and programming are evolving alongside these leaps. By 2020 the progress of five future technologies is changing the fabric of everyday life.

1. The Internet of Things, or IoT
2. Artificial intelligence
3. Blockchain
4. Automation
5. Cryptocurrency

Ultimately, these five things are also great levellers. The sharing of information, privacy, allocation of scarce resources, carbon footprints, communications, well just about everything will be impacted by these innovations. As the technology vision morphs, the infrastructure that supports it will also have to evolve. Now is the time to dream and dream big!
