Trending Technologies of 2025
Technology is growing at such an unprecedented pace that by 2025, annual programming tasks done by computers will have surpassed the combined effort of human programmers in the preceding 5000 years. With over 60% of the world population having access to internet and one-third being active on social networks, it was assumed that by 2025: every fifth utility might be coming from a digital aggregator; more than half of all customer-originated numerical inputs to banks would come through mobile banking; globally, more trips will be registered on electronic toll payments systems than with cash; online purchases exceeding retail sales per square meter are expected; financial allocations to robo-advisors would exceed those for human ones; self-driving cars and trucks collectively could make up almost the population in Finland (or Ireland); and similarly AI manufactured robots might be taking jobs away from around twenty million manufacturing workers worldwide.
Generative AI
Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are generative models introduced by Ian Goodfellow and his colleagues in 2014 that belong to the set of generative AI technologies.
What is it?
Generative AI, simply said, is a technology creating new content like images, videos, text, and audio. The technology has become really popular thanks to applications like OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google Gemini.
Revolutionizing Content Creation
- Helpful in medical research and design.
- Assisting in business automation.
Future Prospects
In the future, Generative AI will lead to automated designing, personalized learning, and rapid advancements in robotics.
The Metaverse
The consensus definition of metaverse can be generalized as follows: it is a virtual reality space where users can interact with a computer-generated environment and other users in real time, designed to feel like an actual place.
What is it?
The Metaverse is a virtual reality space, in which users can interact with a computer-generated environment and other users via digital avatars. It’s a new platform for social media, gaming, education, and business.
Significance
- Expanding in the world of digital marketing and virtual events.
- Revolutionizing the gaming and entertainment industries.
Future Prospects
With AI, Blockchain, and AR/VR altogether, a more immersive, real, and widely used Metaverse will appear in the future.
6G Technology
What is it?
The importance of 6G cannot be overstated.
Significance
- Promotion of smart cities and IoT devices.
- Improvement of high-speed data transmission and cloud computing.
- Transforming industrial automation and healthcare sectors.
Future Prospects
6G networks are expected to launch commercially in 2030, advancing the mobile internet from connecting people-to-people and people-to-information, to a new era of connecting information-to-information.
Blockchain & Web 3.0
An electronic ledger that is owned collectively by the players in a particular system/network who keep track of and supervise all transactions: no central authority required. The players also own all of their data, which can only be accessed using their private key.
What is it?
Decentralization is the most important concept of Web 3.0 or blockchain. Blockchain is a technology based on decentralization, i.e., it doesn’t have any central authority to control its operations. It’s like saying ‘no’ to Facebook and ‘yes’ to decentralized social media, no more intermediaries in between, and this gives you freedom from data breaches and hacks.
Genre
- Enhancing secure digital transactions and cryptocurrency adoption.
- Enabling smart contracts and business automation.
- Ensuring Data Privacy and Security.
Future Prospects
Web 3.0 and Blockchain will make the internet more secure, transparent, and democratic, which will lead to a total transformation of how we interact over the internet.
Quantum Computing
Quantum computing is the use of quantum-mechanical phenomena such as superposition and entanglement to perform computation. A quantum computer is used to perform such computation, which can be implemented theoretically or physically. The field of quantum computing is actually a sub-discipline of quantum information science, which includes quantum cryptography and quantum communication.
What is it?
Quantum computing studies theoretical computation systems (quantum computers) that make direct use of quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data. Quantum computers are different from binary digital electronic computers based on transistors. Whereas common digital computing requires that the data be encoded into binary digits (bits), each of which is always in one of two definite states (0 or 1), quantum computation uses quantum bits, which can be in superpositions of states.
Significance
- Speeding up medical research and drug discovery.
- Enhancing artificial intelligence to new heights.
Future Prospects
It is anticipated that quantum computing will be commercialized up to 2030 and will bring a huge revolution in research, technology, and industries.
Conclusion
The five technologies that will change our lives in 2025 – Generative AI, Metaverse, 6G, Quantum Computing, and Blockchain – are given. Needless to mention the regulations to follow these likely changes in technology for future technologies.
