The world runs with the ‘wheels of technology’. Technological updates can never get overwhelming. Last year, the Global Design and Strategy firm frog released their 2017 technology trends which will define the New Year. If you haven’t heard of these predictions, then hop on and enjoy the ride!

The virtual reality is speaking in great lengths with the world which has also outnumbered a lot of conventional ways. The technology trends which update and upgrade your present with the futuristic set-ups are what leave the people curious and excited.

Here’s a list of 10 technology trends to watch out for in 2017.

1. Synthetic Food Will Be In Every Grocery Store

   

The designer Andrea Markdalen predicts two big changes in the store for food. Firstly, the plant based proteins will gain popularity instead of slaughtering the animals. Secondly, the tissues drawn painlessly from live animals will be engineered to create synthetic and lab-grown food.

2. The Autonomous Vehicles Will Get A Whole Lot Smarter

   

Along with Tesla and Uber booth geared up to break into the driverless car industry, the frog creative director Matt Conway thinks that we are not far from the autonomous vehicles saving us from ourselves. With the hell of the new upcoming technology, multiple cars would be able to ‘talk’ to one another, thus reducing the chance for car crashes.

3. The Buildings Will Harness The Powers Of Nature

   

Around the world, huge companies are leading the way in building those solar powered offices which don’t rely on the fossil fuels. Frog strategist Agnes Pyrchla expects the trend to continue in 2017 too.

4. The Virtual Reality Will Take Over Events And Concerts

   

The technology has chuck-out the hassle of reaching to the concert venues and getting assaulted in a stampede, just to watch your favorite rockstar or any celebrity performing. Instead of spending out hundreds of dollars for a Kanye West concert, Piet Aukeman and Sonny King say that virtual reality will make its mark in the home entertainment. The live-streaming of shows will gain a whole lot of popularity.

Sensors would be embossed in all types of rooms-living rooms, hospital bays, retail floors, as said by Chad Lundberg and Jud Holliday. These very sensors will pick up inflammation on the usage patterns at different times of the day, in different noise environments and in different temperatures.

7. Machine Learning Will Tutor Us About Ourselves

   

According to frog senior strategist Rebacca Blum, the machines help us understand ourselves in variety of ways. The algorithms that automatically write prose might teach us all about creative writing. The scientists could continue learning about the brain based on how complex neural networks happen to store new information.

8. Doctors Will Have Huge Data Sets To Make Medicine More Precise

   

In future, as the medical records become entirely digitized and uniform between the facilities, the strategy director Allison Green Schoop believes that precision medicine will only improve. The doctors will be able to look up much more local data, such as the water quality in your zip code. This is to gain insight into a disease’s source, and not just its symptoms.

9. The Virtual reality Will Be Used As Part Of Therapy

   

VR which is used as therapy as something of a repeat from frog’s 2016 list. It’s only this year that the company expects that it will become so immersive that it could rewire people’s brains. There is already research that the shows VR can help people overcome their fears and PTSD.

10. Sounds Will Hold Our Attention Like Never Before

    

Sounds are going to play a major role this year. Instead of controlling the cooking device by manual selection options in an iPad app, one might be able to articulate commands openly in the kitchen. The companies like Here One already try to help the people personalize their sonic expenses.
