News India Live, Digital Desk: Smart keys Technology : Remember the era of audio cassettes and VCRs? The things which were once an important part of our lives, have today become a part of a museum or some old story. Technology is changing so fast that yesterday’s invention becomes obsolete today.
Now think just 6-7 years ahead, of the year 2030. Believe me, many of the things without which we cannot imagine our life today would have disappeared by then. According to experts, many technologies kept in our pockets, held in our hands and used at home will become ‘things of the past’.
So let us know about those 4 things which we can say goodbye to by 2030.
1. Credit and Debit Cards (The Plastic Money)
Purse in your pocket… and lots of plastic cards in the purse. From shopping to paying bills, these cards are an important part of our lives. But now their era is about to end. The way UPI has brought about a revolution in digital payments in India is just the beginning.
- Why would he disappear? NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, what we know as “tap and pay”, is becoming increasingly popular. Your smartphone, your smartwatch has become your credit card. Now there is no need to even take out the purse, just tap the phone or watch on the machine and the payment is done. By 2030, carrying physical cards will be a thing of the past. Your smartphone will be your mobile bank.
2. TV remote control (The Lost King of the Couch)
We all have fought the battle of finding a lost remote in the cracks of the sofa. Sometimes the battery runs out, sometimes some button is not working. But now the kingdom of this ‘King’ is also in danger.
- Why would it disappear? The answer is – your voice. “Ok Google, turn on the TV”, “Alexa, turn down the volume”. Voice assistant technology has become so smart that the need for remote is disappearing. Additionally, the apps on your smartphone give you the power to control everything from TV to AC. By 2030, your voice and your phone will be your universal remote.
3. Car Keys (The Jingling Burden)
Searching for a bunch of keys before leaving the house, enduring the heaviness of it in your pocket… all this is soon going to be a thing of the past. The concept of physical keys is rapidly becoming obsolete.
- Why will she disappear? “Keyless entry” and “push-button start” have now become common. The next step is ‘Phone as a Key’. Your car will lock-unlock and start from your smartphone itself. Companies like Tesla have already made this a reality. Apart from this, biometric technology (fingerprint or face recognition) is also coming into cars, where your car will recognize you by your face or fingerprints.
4. Charger and cable tangle
From drawing room to bed, tangled wires everywhere… this is the story of every house. Having and managing different cables for different devices is a difficult task. But soon we may be free from this world of stars.
- Why would he disappear? Wireless charging technology has now become quite common. Now all you have to do is place your phone on a charging pad and it starts charging. Companies are slowly moving towards a ‘port-less’ future, where phones will have no charging port at all. Wired charging may become a rare thing by 2030.
Change is the law of the world, and this change in technology is coming at the speed of a hurricane. So the next time you put a credit card in your pocket or reach for the remote, take a moment to smile, because you might be using a piece of history that your next generation will only get to see in pictures.
