Internet Contact Lenses• Internet contact lenses will be one of many exciting new technologies that we will soon see reach the mass market. Essentially, these contact lenses will allow the user to see images and information overlaid on the "real world". We can imagine it like the virtual reality we used in class with our phone, only this time there would be no need to hold a device in front of you. According to the book Physics of the Future by Michio Kaku, “images will be projected directly through our contact lenses by inserting a chip and an LCD display into the plastic. The task at hand is to view clear images and future tasks include interacting with the information seen” (2011). Hand movements like those seen in the Iron Man films could be a possibility. However, at the moment the benefits of these contact lenses include their use in the medical sector where surgeons could use them during an operation or even in the gaming sector where players could interact with a game using real-life objects and scenarios. Electronic paper • In the future we will have very thin devices capable of connecting to the Internet, displaying images, videos, etc. In other words, electronic paper will replace what we now call laptops or even tablets. So how is this possible? Well, there is something called Moore's law and it states that the number of transistors in computer hardware doubles every 18 to 24 months (Moore, 1965). This law has been in place since the 1970s, and as a result, hardware prices have plummeted to the point that it now becomes cheaper to buy a new computer rather than repair it. If Moore's Law holds, microprocessor prices could even drop to pennies, if not pennies! When this happens, the electronic paper... at the center of the paper... no longer flows, the information does. So it's hard to believe that big companies like Google aren't using our information for their own benefit. It's almost like having a billion dollars in a safe that you have the code for but can't open. Privacy vs. Internet of Things• Having every object connected to the Internet will mean that not only the information you put online will be monitored, but also that of your washing machine, radiator, sink, chair, bathroom etc. This information may be combined with your name and used by anyone who deems it useful. Businesses and government will use this technology along with Big Data to be able to track everything you and your family use at home so they can make better decisions about how to market things to you specifically or in a much larger area. The home may no longer be as private as it once was.
