Life in 2025 - imec's vision on future technologies in daily life

[Lux2k6]

Ok, the future means more information, information and information in less time??

And yes, we need holograms and so on, vidoe streaming will be def. out!

If the future trend is like the trend today we will spend more and more time and money for needless toys and gadgets instead of caring about real problems.

What a nightmare!

In this future, companies know virtually EVERYTHING about people. Even a fridge connected to the internet knows the results of the mothers blood check and the boss controls the employees schedule even while he is sitting at home at the coffee table! Offices have no privacy at all. Even a video game knows what the favorite food of the kid is.

I sure hope this will never become reality!

@YanaFramework by then, a new breed of hackers and computer security will be born which means it shouldn't be too bad hopefully

[YanaFramework]

@jiaoyinyang You think so? I think it's better NOT to open the box of Pandora by giving information to these companies in the first place, instead of hacking into them or begging the government for new laws to get your data deleted afterwards.

Privacy and anonymity is NOT optional. It is fundamental for democracy. Without it, people would be able to put pressure on others to do and say what you want them to. And this is not just hypothetical: as you might know from your own workplace.

[jiaoyinyang]

@YanaFramework I suppose that's true. The future is quite interesting.
