1.Homomorphic Encryption
Homomorphic Encryption
The concern that data is insecure is one of the factors keeping the cloud computing movement from exploding even further than it already has done. Our current encryption technologies leave us either to trust our cloud service provider fully, or to encrypt our data before moving it to the cloud. While more secure, the problem with the latter option is that encrypted documents can't be searched until they're decrypted. This is where homomorphic encryption comes into play. Homomorphic encryption is a method whereby encrypted files could be categorized, and mined, while still remaining in an encrypted state. The concept has been around for years, but real strides have been made over the last few years which may soon make homomorphic encryption a reality.
Fog Computing
Fog Computing
Where cloud computing can be thought of as fluffy white clouds way up in the sky, fog computing surrounds us. Fog computing takes cloud computing and pushes it out to the edge device, as opposed to keeping it in a data center. The idea is that our end devices will not talk back to a handful of cloud providers, where our applications and data live. Instead, fog computing creates a wireless mesh at the edge, where point-to-point communication with devices in our geographical proximity are far more prevalent. By creating a heterogeneous mesh that all talks together, a fog approach streamlines, optimizes, and improves availability for mobile device connectivity.

3-D Displays
3-D Displays
Three-dimensional technologies have been much more of a novelty than a technological breakthrough in the recent past. This mostly has to do with the fact that 3-D displays are difficult to achieve. But the latest 3-D display offerings are seriously good. Although many of us still struggle to find a purposeful use for 3-D displays in our own daily lives (they're not going to help with spreadsheet or database work), niche areas such as mechanical design, engineering, advertising, and various medical fields can and will find uses for this type of technology.
4)Biometrics
Biometrics
It's high time that we kill off the use of the dreaded complex password. The requirements for this type of authentication continue to increase in an attempt to thwart advancements in password-cracking technologies. But instead of trying to stay one step ahead, many are dramatically shifting focus to potentially more secure and certainly much easier to use biometric authentication methods. Biometrics clearly do have a way to identify users. The key is to wrap hardware and software around it to make it foolproof. And while we're not quite there yet, many are getting close. Clearly we'll beseeing and using biometrics more and more on a daily basis.
5)Battery Technologies
5)Battery Technologies
While battery life seems to get marginally better every year, we can't help but feel that portable power continues to be the No. 1 pain point in mobile technology. There are some interesting new technologies being introduced and re-introduced to help alleviate the problem of having to tether a device to an outlet continually. If you think that mobile technology has exploded already, just wait until battery life technology gets to the point where we can truly be mobile.

Next Generation Wireless Communication
Wireless, from both cellular and WiFi perspectives, is an incredibly hot topic right now. As more devices become mobile, the need for increasing amounts of bandwidth -- and thus, wireless spectrum -- is on the rise. With a finite amount of wireless spectrum, we're left with lawmakers determining how much of that usable spectrum will be allocated for wireless data communication. Such is the case with a recent bill in the US regardingopening up additional WiFi space in the 5GHz spectrum. Depending on how these laws work out, we may be seeing entirely new spectrum opening up that could reduce current bottlenecks and open up a new world of wireless possibilities.
7)Human-Robot Collaboration in the Workplace
Human-Robot Collaboration in the Workplace
The field of robotics has taken a huge leap in terms of usefulness over the past few years. Fully robotic manufacturing, medical procedures, law enforcement, and even restaurants are just a few areas where robotics can and likely will replace human labor. And while robotics may seem like a job-reducing area of study, there is great potential when looking at the IT side of the technology. One major obstacle that will need to be overcome is in the case of human-robotic collaboration. After all, even the most advanced robotics can't do all things that humans can do. Sophisticated software will need to be developed to ensure that humans and robots can communicate and understand each other accurately and efficiently.
