There are terms that are already in our day to day, but whose development is still in a primary phase. Artificial intelligence, robotics or autonomous vehicles are just a few examples. But these technologies still have a long way to go to be mature. Let's see here some of the technologies of the future, but they are already beginning to be among us.

Artificial Intelligence
Currently Artificial Intelligence (AI) is in an early stage of development. Basically we are trying to teach machines to think and make logical decisions autonomously. At the moment, there are very few things they can do, although development is constant.
GPT-3, which is still in the experimental phase, allows the creation of texts by giving it a bit of context. Alpha Fold 2 allows you to simulate a molecule with great precision from a disjointed plain text. These are just a few examples of what this technology that is still early in development and has a promising future can do.
Autonomous vehicles
One of the main sources of accidents today is the human factor. This factor would be close to being history with autonomous vehicles. Equipped with all kinds of sensors and cameras, as well as powerful computers, the vehicles will take us where we need to go without worrying about anything else.
It is estimated that between 2025-2030 the first driverless vehicles will already be on the roads. The development of this type of vehicle is on the right track and without excessive problems. Accidents are sometimes detected, it is true, but they are analyzed and parameters are added that allow it not to happen again.
It should be noted that a large part of these accidents are recklessness or infractions committed by people for whom the systems had not been trained.
Quantum computing
Quantum computing is based on three states, instead of the two (binary) states of conventional computers. We go from 1 and 0 (binary) to 1, 0 and an indeterminable state that has components of both states. It is wrongly said that they are states 1 and 0 at the same time, rather it is a percentage of each of them.
But, quantum computing is far from accessible to everyone. There are great challenges that are very complicated to solve so that we can all have at home. The first problem is that it requires temperatures close to absolute zero. But also, any radio wave or any light wave can generate an error. Two of the many challenges that remain to be solved.
Collaborative
If you are thinking about your food processor, which helps you cook, it is basically a computer with functions. When we talk about robots, we are talking about machines that move and perform certain tasks. The idea is that they are as multifunctional as possible, but for now, they are designed for repetitive or precision tasks.
Currently, robots do repetitive tasks or tasks that require enormous precision. In the automotive or electronics industry, they are vital, as they allow very complex tasks to be carried out with great precision. But, the Boston Dynamics robots already have amazing capabilities, being able to run, parkour and much more.
Blockchain
Created to avoid double spending and provide security to Bitcoin without the need for trusted third parties, it has emerged as one of the great technologies of this century. But, despite being a widely used term, this technology is still in a very early stage. This technology is characterized by transparency and does not require reliable third parties.
Although it can be used for many things, its implementation or use in certain areas raises questions. On many occasions it is used more as marketing than anything else. Conventional and well-known databases are being renamed blockchain networks. But, it is one of those technologies that could be very useful in the future.
