5 technologies are expected to change the future

On the occasion of the new year, CNN USA announced 5 technology forecasts for 2018, which CNN believes will change the world in the near future.

1. to the throne

2018 AR technology will prevail.

According to CNN, in 2018 virtual reality technology (AR) will prevail, creeping deep into every corner of human life, especially smartphones. Virtual reality adds digital images to real words. Smart phones will be integrated with many important AR-related features.

For example, with Apple's ARKit, iOSS kit, smartphones can map a room, changing the lighting to make the interior of the room more beautiful. In addition, AR can continue to change the way people shop without the need for cumbersome desktop computers today.

2. Exploding the robot

Delivery robot.

In 2018, public opinion will be witnessing the 'road going' of robots. This is a breathtaking new appearance, not a rebellion against humanity. Many types of robots have been penetrating hotel rooms, hospitals, or guarding shopping centers, for dormitories or apartments. These robots use a combination of GPS, sensors and cameras to navigate the world without resorting to humans.

The robot's "down the road" was faced with the backlash of humans. Robots have discovered that homeless people are beaten or robots make many people lose their jobs . That's why in San Francisco, USA, people have issued regulations to limit the number of people. Robots deliver goods on the streets.

3. 'reception of strange guests'

Smart home allows strangers to enter.

One of the 2018 'highlight' technologies is the smart home that allows strangers to enter through a type of smart lock. This is a relatively new technology of Amazon, which has just been tested in early 2017 and will be officially put into use in 2018. Technology helps homeowners find services, buy automatically when not at home without affecting the security of the apartment.

4.

Control the device via voice.

In 2018, companies like Amazon and Google will compete for new technology to make human voices appear everywhere. After Google banned Amazon from using YouTube on Echo Show, Amazon agreed to accept Google's hardware. This war has launched voice platform services, voice control devices such as Alexa, Siri, Cortana or Google Assistant.

5. How to calculate a new Internet bill

In 2018, many companies will apply a new way of calculating Internet bill.

Usually, Internet users pay a monthly fee, but in 2018, some companies will show how to charge other Internet based on fast or slow connection, but not limited to what they access.

In the United States, the FCC abolished carrier neutrality rules, opening the door for internet service providers to experiment with different pricing structures. In theory, users may be charged more for using Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, or social media networks may have to pay an additional monthly fee. This charge change helps companies test customer reactions and the ability to flee to other competitors (if any).
