    IBM launched an online survey of 150 thousand users from 104 countries, which resulted in five “key innovations” that should “change the life, work and entertainment of people around the world” in the next five years. Here's what happened:

    1. Remote access to medical services in developing countries

    2. Real-time translation technologies built into mobile phones, handheld devices and machines

    3. The growth of virtual multimedia worlds such as Second Life on the three-dimensional Internet. This will create new types of interactive education, communications and consumer experience

    . 4. Development of nanotechnology in order to improve environmental protection, for example, the introduction of a “smart water” distribution system that will reduce the load on treatment facilities.

    5. friendly mobile devices that will “read the minds” of users thanks to presence technologies, an intuitive interface and self-learning technologies

    Here, for example, is IBM's vision of these devices: “When a user enters a meeting room with several people, the mobile phone will automatically go to voicemail mode. And your favorite pizzeria will know what time you are coming home on Friday, and will send an offer to deliver your favorite pizza. " This was told by procontent
