# The Web of Things

Our homes, our cars and our Smartphones will interact with each other seamlessly. Two technologies that help to achieve this are Near Field Communication and ultra low power chips that harvest energy from its environment. The Web of Things makes computing a normal way of interacting with our surroundings rather than being limited to desktop or tablet versions.

With this technology, IBM’s Smarter Planet, has introduced new ways of social networking, healthcare and much more. Mobile bill payments through NFC will become widespread and there will be new ways of advertising.

# No touch interface

We are moving to an era where technology is adapting more and more to us rather than the other way around. The pattern recognition technology is a passé now and the No touch interface, is expected to be more human-like.

Microsoft’s Kinect, Apple’s Siri and Google’s Project Glass are all making futuristic devices. Thanks to Google Glass you can just wear glasses and take a picture of what you see and do lots more stuff like uploading and sharing.

# Consumer Driven Supercomputing

A Supercomputer always does all the huge processing in seconds. Applying that to the service industry is the new trend. IBM, Google and Microsoft are racing to combine natural language processing with huge Big Data systems in the cloud. That makes large amount of data available at all corners of the world and that too if you literally ask your system in your spoken language.

First such foray into this field is IBM's Watson which is supposedly helping doctors fight cancer by natural language capabilities, hypothesis generation, and evidence-based learning to support medical professionals as they make decisions.
