When I wrote about a technological singularity previously I only spoke about what would happen at that single point at around the expected decade of 2050.
But what about before then? Well we can look at where current technology is leading us. Right now we are making more efficient touch screens and e-ink materials while also delving into nanotechnology more and more. In the computing field, there are many new possibilities and research being conducted. Efficient processors are being turned out that are slower but technologically superior to their faster predecessors. Computing at an even smaller atomic level with new forms of efficient logic gates can make computers more powerful and slower speeds with lower energy.
What does this mean for technology within the next 10 years? It means smaller computers. More touch screen capabilities with more power and less energy consumption. This mean new and cheaper ways to produce certain computing elements.
Outside of computers what's going to happen is a large revolution with new break throughs. In the field of genetics we have seen so much new advancement. Work has already begun on anti aging technology. HIV vaccines have been all over the news just recently. In 10 - 15 years we might come closer to stopping the aging process. By 10 - 15 years we might be able to slow the aging process enough to make people live a couple decades longer. Once again it's all a matter of time. We are getting closer and closer to important new discoveries each day that could change our world.
