In the next ten years we will experience more advances than in the last hundred. With this vision of Peter Diamandis, co-founder of Singularity University, the consulting firm McKinsey presents the 10 technology trends that are changing the world.

What are they? Let's see:

  • First, McKinsey points to the new leap that automation and virtualization processes will take. The result? By 2025, half of the tasks performed today will be automated.
  • The second technology cited by McKinsey has already arrived in Chile: increased connectivity. McKinsey estimates that 80% of the global population will be connected to 5G by 2030.
  • The adoption of distributed infrastructure is cited in third place. The consulting firm estimates that 75% of the data generated by organizations will be processed by cloud or edge computing by 2025.
  • Next generation computing: by 2035 McKisney estimates that the potential value of large-scale quantum computing use cases will be more than US$1 trillion.
  • Artificial intelligence (AI) applied: More than 75% of touch points with assistive services (such as voice assistants) will see improved usability, enriched personalization and increased conversion.
  • The future of programming: the time required for software development and analytics will be reduced by a factor of 30 compared to current levels.
  • Trust architecture: around 10% of global GDP will be associated with blockchain by 2027.
  • Bio revolution: the cost of sequencing the human genome has been reduced 45 times in the last 10 years.
  • New generation of materials: the number of patents filed between 2008 and 2018 has grown 10 times.
  • The future of clean technologies: more than 75% of the energy consumed globally will be produced from renewable sources by 2050.
