Discoveries are made every day. Some of the things that were considered science fiction before are a reality now. Mindblowing inventions are being made nowadays capacitated to blow off our minds.
Innovative discoveries are being made every year and we can expect to see some changes by 2030. Here is a list of a few amazing innovations that will change different sectors of our life.

- Artificially Intelligent Personal Assistants
Microsoft got the ball rolling with Clippy. This did not perform well.
Apple developed SIRI for iPhone. This is an intelligent assistant. But this is nothing compared to the things that will be available in a decade or so. We can expect our personal assistants to respond naturally to queries, with all personal idiosyncrasies and colloquialism. The personal assistants will remain accessible 24*7. Moreover, these agents will demonstrate a level of general awareness too, allowing us to enjoy conversations with them. They will have all the details about us, including our tendencies, behaviour, preferences as well as typical ways to respond to a given situation.
We can expect the personal assistants to function as our virtual clones. They will be writing emails for us, perform menial tasks, book appointments as well as anticipate our needs. However, we will be responsible for the decisions that they take on our behalf.
- Brain Controlled Computing
From desktops to laptops to handheld phones, computing has transformed a lot in the course of last few years. So, what will it look like in the near future?
The computer in the near future will be so advanced that it will be able to rival the intellect of human beings. In the near future, computers will be controlled by the human mind.
An Intel researcher pointed out, “Eventually people may be willing to be more committed… to brain implants. Imagine being able to surf the Web with the power of your thoughts”.
- 3D Printing
Personal 3D printing is presently reserved for individuals with huge bank accounts or significant understanding about 3D printing. This will change very soon.
Printing in three dimensions will soon be a common practice in schools and households. Though there are affordable solutions available today, in a few years, it would appear more like a compact version of uPrint.
- Super Memory Cards
You must be wondering, what’s new here? We all have them. Yes, all of us have them in computers, phones and cameras. The latest goal here is 1 Terabyte SD Memory Card. That is a lot of memory space. Most computers do not have such a capacity. In the near future, a small SD card will have that capacity. We can store so much data in the cloud but most of us prefer to have all the data at fingertips. The super memory cards will make this a possibility.
- Portable Laser Pens to Heal Wounds
These laser pens are actually a pocket version of gadgets that are presently found only in hospitals. While hiking, you may stumble, cutting your arm or leg. It’s a serious gash and you need to stop bleeding as soon as possible. You can take out your laser pen and seal the wound to stop bleeding.
- Interaction Change
Our interaction with things and people has changed a lot in the course of last few years owing to the prevalence of phones and smartphones. This is not all. In the near future, we can expect a huge change in the very way we interact with the surroundings. You will be able to look at a place or building and get all the information on the subject just by using your eyes. Goggles by Google use an early concept of the idea; it is actually an app that allows taking the picture of an object and receiving information about it immediately on the Android phone.
- Driverless Car
Around 1.3 million people die in car accidents every year. Tests conducted so far have shown that the driverless cars are safe to use and they bring down the instances of motor accidents substantially. If all the cars on the road are networked and driverless, theoretically, no accidents should occur. Moreover, the best possible traffic will remain ensured since mathematical functions will calculate the velocity a car should travel at so that the whole column can move at maximum speed. “Almost every car company is working on automated vehicles”. We can thus expect to see roads populated by driverless cars soon.
All the above-discussed things are just the tip of the iceberg. We are bound to come across several more innovations in the near future capacitated to change our life.
