IBM, the largest international company in the IT industry, has published the "Five in Five", a list of five innovations within the next five years, as estimates have the potential to change the way people work, live and play. The list is based on analysis of market trends and society as well as emerging new technologies. According to the company soon will solar energy is an essential option for the average household, everyone is at the disposal of a personal plan for prevention of potential patients through the study of DNA, surfing the web will be by acclamation, markets digital assistants will be available to consumers, and nobody can use the absence of mind as an alibi.

Here are the forecasts:

1. Solar energy-saving technologies will be incorporated into the asphalt, pavements, colors, roofs and windows:

The next five years, the solar energy will be a relatively inexpensive option that anyone can use at home or the office and public places. So far the materials and the production of solar cells have been quite expensive, which prevented widespread. But now things are changing with the creation of solar cells as minute film, produced much more cheaply. These flexible "solar film" can be "printed" and added in various places such as roofs, windows, mobile phones, laptops, cars, even in clothes, bringing the revolution of portable solar energy.

2. Everyone has a genetic "crystal ball" prediction of health on the basis of the DNA:

The forecast of changes in our health and use this knowledge to change the style of early life, will be an important development. Within the next five years, doctors will be able to plan for the patient to a "genetic map", which describes the specific risks to which they are exposed to each health and possible future problems of disease and what can and should be preventive to them. The "map" based on DNA analysis and will not cost more than $ 200.00 dollars. Since scientists read the human genome, the secrets of genes and discover the specific predispositions for his illness. Doctors can gradually use more and more new information to create new therapies and behavioral changes, while pharmaceutical companies can create new, more effective and specific drugs for individual patients. The mapping of genes will change dramatically the health and medical care over the next five years.

3. Everyone will talk on the Internet - and it will respond:

The navigation on the Internet will change dramatically over the next five years, as you can "surf" without hands, but using only your voice - thus gradually eliminating the need for keyboards, mice, "etc. The new technology is already available, will change the way people create and share information, using text instead of reasons. In the future, through the use of "voice sites", people who do not have access to a PC or the Internet or who can not read or write, we now have the benefits and conveniences of Web (Web). Thus, the voice gradually replacing the text, the Internet will become even easier to use - like a phone call! - But the conversation will be made on the Internet.

4. It will appear as personal assistants for shopping:

Not for much longer will consumers struggling stores trying to figure wrong clothes or desperately searching for an official to serve. Nor need the spot epidokimastiki glance of a friend or relative that the cloth prepared to buy one, go to a fine. Within the next five years, consumers increasingly will rely more and more by themselves for their purchasing decisions, and will change the process and the whole experience of the markets - especially in supermarkets and department stores. The fitting room and other rooms will be equipped with "digital assistants" means the consumer will touch a screen and an electronic vocal "official" will assist the buyer to choose clothes or other products or change it just picked. Once consumers decide definitively and inform the electronic assistant is only a warning; olozontano official, for the first time brings cash clothes so that the customer chose hours alone, in peace, in digital form. The customer can even take digital pozes himself with various clothes and other electronic products testing and send photos to mobile or e-mail to relatives and friends to say their opinion. Even we can access through digital assistant, to opinions and criticisms of other consumer products for testing.

5. The absence of mind will be a distant memory:

Within the next five years will be much easier to remember what to buy from the grocery store, what you spoke yesterday at the conference, when and for agreeing to see a friend or what product you saw advertised to the airport. And that will happen because the details of everyday life will be recorded, stored, analyzed and returned to you when and where needed, both portable and table "smart" devices. To make this possible, however, microphones and cameras will be recording conversations and daily activities. The information collected will be stored in a personal computer, which will be analyzed, and then the holder of the device to access (eg to remember the talks with his daughter or the doctor on the phone). Following those discussions, the "smart" mobile phone, which will be equipped with technology (GPS), will remind him that we should buy these fruits and vegetables, as soon as it passed near the butcher, or necessary medicines, if passed in front of the pharmacy. Of course there is no doubt that this last possibility of the technology, which resembles more or less "Big Brother", would like everyone to be able to overcome the social reactions and to find practical application.
