community. What do our gadgets and communities the next 25 years?
– The status will not have as much visible technology, think Marcus Nohlberg, Lecturer in Computer Science at the University of Skövde.
– The technology will be hidden in other things and used via voice, thoughts, or artificial intelligence and might not be something you show up during use.
Marcus Nohlberg believe that the technology will be adapted to the individual and that much will be done automatically. But before he predicts that hedges himself by stating that he knows he will be wrong.
And it had the creators of Back to the Future 2 also. Partially.
– They make the same mistake as almost always in estimates: to believe that the world would be so much more different. Naturally this technology forward, but the big visual changes are not there.
Shuns biometrics
Meanwhile dots movie amazingly right on several points as well, like Marcus Nohlberg. In the film 2015 locked doors up biometrically, with a fingerprint. Today you can unlock their mobile or go to the gym using their fingerprint. Biometrics is something that he thinks will become very common. Marcus Nohlberg, who does research in information security, not like it.
– I shun it like the plague. If the information in my fingerprint is stolen, then I have the only nine remain.
He says nine fingers, that is. For although it will not work, Marcus Nohlberg convinced that criminals will try to steal the identity of others by stealing their body parts. A less pleasant scenario.
– It is also about who owns the information. It is a fundamentally unpleasant aspect for someone to take something that is a part of me.
Hoverboarden
Marcus Nohlberg was 13 when Back to the Future 2 was released in 1989. Something that led that he and many of his dream was to hover above the ground on a board.
– I was at that age that hoverboardsen made a huge impression. There are few things that define the future so as to float up.
In the film, which incidentally is characterized by product placements, you can clearly see that the flying skateboard like Michael J Fox / Marty McFly borrow from a little girl is made by the toy manufacturer Mattel. After the film’s release was a persistent rumor that Mattel had actually made real hoverboards, but that they had not come on the market, because different groups of parents felt that they were too dangerous. The film’s director fueled the rumor.
– I wanted to believe it, remember Marcus Nohlberg.
The hype surrounding the flying skateboards have continued, but a hoverboard of the type seen in the film has not seen the light yet.
Technology with us
In the film 2015 carries Marty McFly a jacket that adapts in size and fast bothered himself when Marty took an involuntary swim.
– It can be seen as a premonition of technology in what we carry with us.
One example is pulse bands. Research is also very much about so-called smart textiles.
– All that stuff is on the way, says Marcus Nohlberg and mentions clothes that measures how you move, belts that adapts to the size and shoe soles that can change the temperature.
One thing that the movie predicted he uses extensively by: video calls. It may be meetings via Skype, or supervision of students.
– I still think it’s awesome.
A fax machine
The fax machine, however, is not particular moment in someone’s life 2015th
– We have a fax machine on the entire college.
Marcus Nohlberg surprised how wrong filmmakers dotted with regard to mobile communications.
– There was cell phones, and even handheld, in the 80s.
Flying cars then, will there ever be a reality for the common man?
– It would not be good news if suddenly there were ten thousand flying cars in Skövde, says Marcus Nohlberg, which looks both accidents and parking trouble ahead.
