2.3 Increases efficiency on both personal and professional level

Technology can make a person efficient and dependent at the same time. Perhaps, the accuracy and the quality we get with the help of technology is not the same with previous times. In the near future, technology will be at another level since the innovation and the advancement in technology are continuous. Or in other words, it is increasing day by day.

3. What is the impact of Artificial Intelligence in our lives?
• Perform human tasks

Artificial intelligence is one of the most efficient approaches toward technology. This intelligence eliminates human efforts and makes the machines applicable to perform tasks related to daily life. It considers using algorithms of machine learning. The introduction of robots and assistants can easily perform the basic tasks of humans by understanding their language and terms. However, the research and the process of innovation are continued.

In the future, artificial intelligence can perform all the tasks for a human. The artificial neural system is the way of making machine logical. It helps the machine to make a decision like a human by analyzing different things, and the system has brought it to a new level.

3.2 Changes in traveling

In the next decade, the difference in how we travel going to be the actual game changer. Traveling in the present time is not so fancy while self-driving cars will take over the infancy and less efficient approach of traveling. This is considered as the highest level of innovation. The traveling approach will be smart enough in the future and will easily avoid traveling mishappening like accidents due to technological advancements.

4. Innovation in energy production and storage
• Introduction

Technology has created a huge impact on energy production and storage. It is considered as one of the most important fields of human life as the energy needs of people are increasing on a daily basis. The technical world is introducing innovative ideas to produce and save energy at a bigger rate. Solar panels are becoming common and can help to enhance the efficiency of energy production.

In terms of solar panels, it is observed that experts in engineering or the technology industry can produce as much energy as required to run the whole world. The cost of transmitting energy to the different parts of the world is the only hurdle. It might bring environment change in certain areas like the Sahara Desert if its land starts to avoid ultraviolet rays for so long. 

However, there are different effects that technology creates on a life all over the world.

5. Innovations that can alter our future
• Virtual Reality

In earlier days, finding a job is tedious in the past. The process would start with countless letters sent and hours spent visiting prospective employers and unions. Nowadays, one can join LinkedIn and discover multiple job opportunities in a matter of minutes. In the future, virtual reality might take over these aspects of life.

For instance, students in classrooms may start learning from virtually-based sources and old-fashioned textbooks will become obsolete. Similarly, in-store shopping could be replaced with facial and body recognition software. With this, people could see how something would fit them over their phone without having to visit a store. These are just a few of the major areas where virtual reality could have a significant impact on the way we work, learn, and play.
