<\/a> The smart tech of the future is both <\/strong>transformative<\/strong> and a bit creepy: <\/strong>2030 isn\u2019t that far away, but the smart tech likely to be at the world\u2019s fingertips \u2014 outlined in a recently-released report (pdf)<\/a> by strategic foresight consultancy The Future Laboratory and Vodafone Smart Tech \u2014 looks set to catapult us into another world. The report presents a vision of 2030 where smart tech currently being developed is poised to offer unprecedented connectivity, both individually and globally.<\/p>\n

This tech will offer more immersion, but will also have more control over our daily lives. <\/strong>2030 smart tech will be a lot more immersive, bolstered by stronger infrastructure (some countries could be well into 6G territory) and consumer demand for seamless interactions with devices customized according to personal preference. While these tech developments will allow us to make better use of our resources, space, and time, they\u2019ll also harvest more of our data, monitor more of our activities, and put more choices about our lives in the hands of devices.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the really outlandish stuff \u2014 mind and body-controlled digital devices: <\/strong>By 2030, some smart tech will be so responsive as to \u201cremove the need for active interaction entirely,\u201d the report tells us. Case in point: The AlterEgo device<\/a>, which picks up the signals sent from the brain to the mouth when a user \u201csays\u201d thoughts in their head. AlterEgo translates these brain signals into words, so users can have full human-computer interactions with AI assistants or machines without saying anything aloud. The Mediated Atmosphere<\/a> project uses sensors to track user heart rates and facial expressions, to automatically regulate their workspace by adjusting light and sound.<\/p>\n

Also coming our way: \u201cHyper-sensory versions of reality.\u201d <\/strong>Extended reality (XR)<\/a> \u2014 basically any combination of real-and-virtual reality, including VR, augmented reality, and mixed reality \u2014 is set to become a major feature of our daily lives, with the lines between tangible and intangible becoming blurrier. XR technologies, forecast to add USD 1.5 tn<\/a> to the global economy by 2030, will fundamentally alter how we experience the world. We might be projecting content onto a nearby surface as we read a recipe or visit a museum, or we might be entering the metaverse or following work instructions<\/a> using specially-designed smart glasses.<\/p>\n

And tech you\u2019ll forget is even there: <\/strong>2030 smart tech will be deliberately unobtrusive, like the minimalist wooden control pad by mui Lab<\/a> that controls temperature, opens smart doors, plays music and performs a host of other tasks, but is specifically designed to not engage a user\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n

Smart tech could also meaningfully address some of today\u2019s most pressing social problems<\/strong> \u2014 like waste, poor urban planning, and health issues, the report shows. That\u2019s the direction being taken with smart cities, including here in Egypt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tech will offer innovative ways to enhance environmental sustainability:<\/strong> Consumers will be shown, through data, how their environmental footprints are altered by their daily choices. Dimpact<\/a>, for example, helps users assess the environmental impact of consuming digital media content, while Doconomy<\/a> allows individuals, corporations and brands to measure their environmental footprints \u2014 and calculate the environmental impact of financial transactions. Personal devices will be increasingly geared towards sustainability, and designed to work across different generations of tech, to cut down on waste. Resources like food, or solar energy, may in the future be automatically shared between homes, coordinated by smart tech devices that communicate directly with one another.<\/p>\n

In smart cities, vehicles and infrastructure will optimize space and anticipate human needs: <\/strong>Smart, autonomous mobility systems will slash commute times and make city environments greener and more livable. Electric, autonomous vehicles will be the norm for ride-hailing services, with apps like Quarter Car<\/a> offering vehicle partitions so users can opt for privacy. Argodesign<\/a> is testing a project where autonomous drones deliver groceries to outdoor fridges, which are automatically stocked based on consumers\u2019 previous purchases. Urban connectivity will give rise to things like vertical farming, and buildings being used as energy-producing community utilities.<\/p>\n

And digital solutions could help facilitate independent living, diagnose illnesses, and even alleviate pain: <\/strong>Assistive tech like Vodafone\u2019s Connected Living app<\/a> automates some tasks, while helping users perform others. The app is designed for people with intellectual disabilities, but the tech can also help the elderly live independently. 2030 AI will be able to monitor vital measurements \u2014 including heart and respiratory rate, hydration, blood pressure and blood sugar levels \u2014 to prevent chronic health conditions before they even appear. Google is currently exploring an optical sensor that monitors cardiovascular health, which could be put in a bathroom mirror to track blood flow dynamics, like changes in skin color. Meanwhile, VR tech will increasingly be used as a way of delivering medical treatments \u2014 including treatment that reduces activity in the five regions of the brain associated with pain.<\/p>\n

But what about the ethical issues? <\/strong>All this monitoring and data gathering will put the onus firmly on companies to show they\u2019re taking meaningful action to safeguard data privacy. Researchers at the CyLab Security and Privacy Institute<\/a> are currently working on a prototype of a label that could be put on smart devices \u2014 ranging from security cameras to toothbrushes \u2014 offering privacy information vetted by experts. And MIT-launched tech company Butlr<\/a> was designed to provide real-time data on an individual\u2019s movements, body temperature and behavior, but without violating privacy. The tech uses passive infrared sensors, which detect only body heat \u2014 so it can\u2019t identify who you are, only where you are and where you\u2019re going.<\/p>\n

How much of this will land in Egypt by 2030? It\u2019s unclear: <\/strong>The future outlined in the Vodafone report is a global one, and doesn\u2019t give country-specific data. So it\u2019s reasonable to imagine that the rollout of these tech developments will vary, and that the rate of adoption will depend on the state of each country\u2019s digital infrastructure.<\/p>\n

But our appetite for smart tech is clearly soaring:<\/strong> Smart home device adoption in Egypt is growing rapidly, we noted last year<\/a>. As of January 2021, smart home devices were in 1.6 mn homes, up from 280k in January 2020. Market value rose to USD 133 mn in January 2021 from USD 94 mn in January 2020, and device purchases saw a 94% y-o-y increase in 2019, according to data from last year\u2019s Digital 2021: Egypt<\/a> report by Data Reportal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
