The future of networking, digital transformation, and AI

Saudi Gazette A world without smartphones, passwords, and flying cars might seem like a sci-fi movie but it's not very far off and might come into reality "in a blink", according to predictions made by leading networking company Cisco that considers itself shaping the Internet since the 1980's. One prediction is that by 2027, texting by thinking will be a form of communication. Dubai's plans to launch the first self-driving drone taxi in a couple of years from now aims to lead the way to flying automobiles. Complete simulations by the human brain will be possible before the 2030's where new jobs will be common such as avatar manager, body part maker, climate change reversal specialist and nano medic, to name a few. The 2040's will look dramatically different when the average home PC will have the computing power of one billion brains, virtual telepathy will dominate telecommunications and artificial intelligence could become smarter than humans.
