Ten trends in technology, career-making and finance are on course to radically change people’s lives in the next decade.
While the coronavirus pandemic has had devastating effects on public health and the economy, it has also accelerated technological progress in the worldwide effort against climate change and disease.
COVID-19 has forced companies and workers to be faster, more innovative, and productive, while experts emphasize that climate change cannot be effectively fought without new ideas and inventions.
Significant changes that have come about from this include virtual offices, cells modified with the help of artificial intelligence, advanced technology developed to help offset climate change, and less hierarchical working environments. While these have made their mark, technological progress is expected to break new ground by combining disciplines such as biology and artificial intelligence.
As the virus pushes companies large and small to undergo a digital transformation and put emphasis on innovation, competition has also heated up.
As a result, daily life has become easier with new and improved technology, mRNA-based vaccines protect humanity from viruses, and artificial intelligence delays climate change.
Ten trends in technology, business, and finance are expected to shape people’s lives over the next decade.
Technology can protect both climate, well-being
As the climate-related damage to the environment weighs ever heavier, climate change can be managed through technological advancements.
New technology will play a major role in combating climate change, with one example being electric vehicles that have become more widespread, replacing their gas-powered counterparts.
Electricity storage and batteries will also be a part of the solution. The average per-kilowatt-hour cost of a lithium-ion battery has plummeted over the last decade from $1,200 to $132.
