The 5 innovations that will change your life in 5 years, according to IBM - Computerworld

The company today released the IBM 5 in 5 list, his vision of the technologies that will change the lives of people and cities in the next five years

IBM today (17/12) discloses the eighth edition of IBM 5 in 5 list , a relationship with the five innovations which, she says, have the potential to change the way people work , live and interact in the next five years. The list is formalized from market trends and society and inspired by the technologies that are being developed in research laboratories worldwide IBM.

survey this year progresses toward the so-called cognitive computing, exploring the idea that machines can learn, reason and interact with us in a natural and personalized way. IBM said cognitive systems begin to emerge from the combination of cloud computing, big data analytics and mobility technologies, coupled with resources privacy and security facing citizens, be they consumers, students and / or patients.

“Now we learn and know more than any other generation. And yet we struggle to keep us informed with this flood of increasingly complex data, “says Fabio Gandour, Chief Scientist of IBM Brazil.” By creating a technology that is designed to learn and improve our knowledge, comes a new era of . progress for society, “explains Gandour Check out the following predictions:

Custom Education

The classroom of the future will provide educators with the tools needed to learn about all students on an individual basis, providing them with an adapted curriculum from kindergarten through high school, even to the stage of entering the market Work. Over the next five years, the classroom will learn about each student, helping them to master the essential skills to meet their goals.

powered by sophisticated analysis system based on cloud computing, will enable teachers to identify students with greater learning difficulties and suggest measures to help them overcome these challenges.

around physical stores

shopping in physical stores surpass online. Online sales surpassed $ 1 trillion worldwide for the first time last year and are growing faster than in physical stores. Today, the most physical stores is limited to the knowledge that they can win at the point of sale -. Showrooming trend and makes it even harder competition with online retailers, using the advantage of the price

In five years, however, IBM ensures that shopping in physical stores will again stand out. Retailers will use the immediacy of the property and proximity to customers to create experiences that can not be replicated by online stores. They will expand the digital experience using technologies such as augmented reality and computers like Watson to equip sales teams, becoming an expert seller on every product in the store and on each client, using the shared for them to anticipate their information needs.

Your DNA will be your medicine

Doctors will use their DNA to keep it well. Imagine if the cancer treatment, for example, could be more specific and precise -. In which computers could help doctors understand the evolution of the tumor in each patient

In five years, according to IBM, advances in data analysis and major cognitive systems based on emerging cloud, along with advances in genome research and testing, may help physicians accurately diagnose cancer and create plans personalized treatment for millions of patients worldwide.

Intelligent machines will complete genome sequencing and vasculharão vast repositories of medical records and publications to learn and quickly provide specific knowledge about treatment options for oncologists. Thus, the cloud-based cognitive systems can make personalized medicine available in a scale and speed never before possible.

IBM is beginning to explore this opportunity, working with health partners to develop systems that can learn about the people, as their genomic information and response to drugs – opening up the possibility of providing personalized treatment options and specific DNA for diseases such as stroke and heart disease.

Digital Angel Guard

With the increasing number of mobile devices and digital identities, so the number of vulnerabilities and attacks online. In 2012, more than 12 million victims of identity theft in the United States. Current methods of security such as passwords, antivirus or firewall are no longer sufficient. In five years, each of us may be being protected by our own digital guardian, who will be trained to focus on people and items that protects, offering a new level of protection against identity theft.

will incorporate security context data, situation and history to verify the identity of a person in different devices. By learning about users, a digital guardian can make inferences about what is normal and reasonable activity and what is not acting as a mentor when needed.

Currently, IBM scientists are using machine learning technologies to understand the behaviors of mobile devices in a network, in order to assess potential risk. In the future, security will become more responsive and contextual, with a 360 degree view of data, devices and applications, ready to identify deviations that may indicate an attack and identity theft.

The City understands Citizen

Smarter Cities will understand, in real time, as events occur billion, while computers will learn to understand what people need, what they like, what they do and how they move from one place to another. Mobile devices and social engagement will enable the citizens to build direct relationships with city leaders, that their voices are heard not only on election day, but always.

By 2030 global cities will include more than 80% of the urban population and by 2050, seven out of ten people will be a city dweller. Will soon be possible for cities and their leaders to understand and assimilate new information provided voluntarily by citizens, discovering which urban resources are needed, where and when. Thus, the city can dynamically optimize its administration according to the needs of society.

Researchers at IBM Brazil lab developed a collaborative tool that allows users to report the accessibility conditions of the streets on their phones, helping people to move around the city. In Uganda, UNICEF is collaborating with IBM on a social engagement tool that enables young people to communicate with government and community leaders on issues that affect their lives.
