In this article (originally posted in 2018), I would like to make some predictions about the next 30 years of information technology. The main sub-technology groups I consider are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Parallel Computing Technology<\/strong> Quantum Computing Technology<\/strong> Bioelectronics Technology<\/strong> Low Power RF Communication Technology<\/strong> Energy Transfer and Storage Technology<\/strong> Self-Modifying Electronics Technology<\/strong> In IT, there has always been a kind of \u201csine wave\u201d in how technologies are applied\u2014periodic shifts between server-heavy<\/strong> and client\/terminal-heavy<\/strong> computing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The root of this cycle is that technological advances become economically feasible at different times on different platforms. New tech appears first on servers (less cost-sensitive), then migrates to clients when costs fall. But the emerging technologies mentioned earlier will create alternatives beyond the classic client\u2013server model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Introduction In this article (originally posted in 2018), I would like to make some predictions about the next 30 years of information technology.

Parallel computing refers to technologies that allow a task to be carried out much faster by processing in parallel. At present, even in multi-core processors, this is not widely used. Generally, cores in multi-core systems are used for different, separate tasks. Parallel computing, however, is the execution of the same<\/em> calculation in parallel across multiple cores. Besides multi-core processors, systems such as FPGAs that enable parallel computation can also be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quantum computing is an experimental technology that uses quantum properties to evaluate many possibilities at once. Unlike current silicon electronics, it requires very specific temperatures and special components. In recent years, various systems have been designed to indirectly use quantum properties, achieving success to varying degrees. While the idea\u2014especially the ability to evaluate billions of possibilities simultaneously\u2014is exciting, the technology is still very limited in level and usability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bioelectronics is the general name for technologies that closely integrate electronics with biological entities. Measuring brain waves, monitoring pulse, stimulating nerves, artificial limbs, etc., already have commercial and experimental use. Currently integration is still superficial, but in the future closer human integration will begin. The first pioneers will likely be in disability treatment and military applications, where experimental work is already ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The main goal is to develop communication systems that consume little power and cause minimal harm to biological entities. The biggest obstacle at low power levels is electromagnetic noise, which is very high. However, for decades we\u2019ve managed satellite communication with low signal levels in noisy environments. With the miniaturization of such technologies and the development of low-power yet high-performance hybrid RF chips, these systems are becoming increasingly feasible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For circuits with lower power needs, large batteries are not necessarily required. Instead, environmental energy can be harvested to continuously power electronics. Over the past decade, many experimental studies have been conducted in this area. For example, sound noise can be captured with piezoelectric systems. Similarly, energy generated from walking can be harvested with special shoes. Another well-known but increasingly refined method is powering circuits with small solar panels (like those in calculators). In addition, research continues on wireless power transmission at low radiation levels (minimizing biological harm). All these approaches offer an alternative to \u201cbattery storage,\u201d shifting to \u201cdrawing energy from the environment when needed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The aim of this technology is to allow integrated circuits to change themselves to serve different purposes or gain new capabilities. For example, integrated circuits in mobile phones are fixed at the time of manufacture and cannot change. Although they have high computing power, their function remains the same. The goal is for integrated circuits in your devices to adapt to your immediate needs\u2014enhancing image processing when taking a photo, boosting web rendering while browsing, or improving compression\/decompression when making video calls. This would make electronics updateable and flexible, just like software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
