10 Potential candidates for the next big thing in the current decade

We have some potential candidates in my view:

1st => Use of Graphene in its various possible applications, such as its use as a filter to desalinate seawater or increase the resistance of a material, reducing the use of the original material.

2nd => Combination of technologies such as IoT, 5G, Satellites for worldwide broadband connection, Optical fibers, Edge Computing, Cloud Computing for pervasive connection, enabling the digital inclusion of remote areas worldwide.

3rd => Artificial Intelligence embedded in devices and applications of the most varied, cognizing inanimate objects.

4th => Blockchain for the purpose of removing the role of the intermediary in transactions will find many use-cases in the next years.

5th => Private space exploration in which mineral resources can be mined.

6th => Internet of the Senses with integration of augmented / virtual / mixed technologies to increase the user's perception capacity with applications in Industry, Education, Retail, Healthcare and Entertainment.

7th => Quantum and Neuromorphic Computing combined with AI can be used for example in the study of the shape of the molecules, and its geometrical parameters, for finding new materials and new medicines for emerging diseases.

8th => Technologies of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 such as 3D printing with its large-scale adoption will change the value chain across the world.

09th => New exotic materials can be used for the storage of huge volumes of data with greater density and less cost. 

10th => Quantum Cloud Computing have the potential to revolutionize the market with new applications that can make good use of its power.
