New technologies for business: rules for implementation and examples of innovative ideas. Business ideas

Technologies

The world is improving every day, inventing and discovering something new, and without these advances we would not have come this far.

Scientists, researchers, developers and designers from all over the world are trying to implement things that will simplify our lives and make it more interesting.

Here are some technologies future , which raise our lives to a completely different level.

New technologies of the future


1. Biorefrigerators


A Russian designer has come up with a concept for a refrigerator called the "Bio Robot Refrigerator" that cools food using biopolymer gel. There are no shelves, compartments or doors - you simply insert the food into the gel.

The idea was proposed by Yuri Dmitriev for the competition Electrolux Design Lab. The refrigerator uses only 8 percent of the home's energy control panel and does not require energy for actual cooling.

Biopolymer refrigerator gel uses light generated at cold temperatures to preserve food. The gel itself is odorless and non-sticky, and the refrigerator can be mounted on the wall or ceiling.

2. Ultra-fast 5G Internet from drones with solar panels


Google is working on drones at solar panels, distributing ultra-high-speed Internet in a project called Project Skybender. In theory drones will provide Internet services 40 times faster than 4G networks, allowing gigabytes of data to be transferred per second.

The project involves the use of millimeter waves to provide the service, since the existing spectrum for transmission mobile communications too full.

However, these waves have a shorter range than the 4G mobile signal. Google is working on this problem, and if everything can be resolved technical problems, the Internet of unprecedented speed may soon appear.

3. 5D disks for eternal storage of terabytes of data


Researchers have created a 5D disk that records data in 5 dimensions that lasts for billions of years. It can store 360 terabytes of data and withstand temperatures up to 1000 degrees.

The files on the disk are made of three layers of nanodots. The five dimensions of the disk refer to the size and orientation of the points, as well as their position within the three dimensions. As light passes through the disk, the dots change the polarization of the light, which is read by the microscope and polarizer.

The Southampton team behind the disc was able to record the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Newton's Optics, Magna Carta and the Bible on disc. In a few years, such a disk will no longer be an experiment, but will become the norm for data storage.

4. Injection of oxygen particles


Scientists from Boston Children's Hospital have developed microparticles filled with oxygen that can be injected into the bloodstream, allowing you to live even if you can't breathe.

The microparticles consist of a single layer of lipid capsules that surround a small bubble of oxygen. Capsules measuring 2-4 micrometers are suspended in a liquid that controls their size as bubbles bigger size may be dangerous.

When administered, the capsules encounter red blood cells and transfer oxygen. Thanks to this method, it was possible to introduce 70 percent of oxygen into the blood.

5. Underwater transport tunnels


Norway plans to build the world's first underwater floating bridges at a depth of 30 meters underwater using large pipes wide enough for two lanes.

Considering the difficulties of moving across the terrain, Norway decided to work on creating underwater bridges. The project, which has already cost $25 billion, is expected to be completed in 2035.

Other factors still need to be taken into account, such as the influence of wind, waves and strong currents on the bridge.

6. Bioluminescent trees


The development team decided to create bioluminescent trees using an enzyme found in some jellyfish and fireflies.

Such trees will be able to illuminate the streets and help passersby see better at night. Has already been developed small version project in the form of a plant that glows in the dark. Next step there will be trees lighting the streets.

7. Roll-up TVs


LG has developed a prototype TV that can be rolled up like a roll of paper.

The TV uses organic polymer LED technology to reduce the thickness of the screen.

Besides LG, other major electronics manufacturers such as Samsung, Sony And Mitsubishi are working to make screens more flexible and portable.

Future technology development

8. Bionic lens for lightRxhuman vision


Canadian doctor intends to conduct clinical testing "bionic lenses" that improve 100% vision by 3 times with an 8-minute painless operation.

The new lens will be available by 2017, enhancing the natural lens of the eye. During the operation, a syringe inserts a lens containing saline into the eye, and after 10 seconds, the folded lens straightens and is positioned over the natural lens, completely correcting vision.

9. Spray clothing


Spanish designer Manel Torres invented the world's first spray-on clothing. You can apply the spray to any part of the body, then remove it, rinse and wear again.

The spray is made from special fibers mixed with polymers that give the fabric elasticity and durability. This technology will allow designers to create unique garments with original designs.

10. Portraits obtained from DNA


Student Heather Duy-Hagborg creates 3D portraits from DNA found on cigarette butts and chewing gum on the street.

She enters DNA sequences into computer program, which creates the appearance of a person from a sample. This process typically produces a 25-year-old version of the person. The model is then 3D printed with life-size portraits.

11. Shopping in virtual reality


One of these stores was opened at the railway station in South Korea, where you can place an order by photographing the barcode, and your purchases will be delivered to your home.

Chain of stores Homeplus installed six screen doors with life-size images of shelves containing items you would buy in a supermarket. Under each item there is a barcode that can be scanned and sent using the app.

You can place an order at the station on your way to work, and the goods will be delivered to your home in the evening.

12. Self-driving cars


Expected that by 2020 there will be about 10 million driverless cars, which would reduce the number of deaths by 2,500 between 2014 and 2030.

Many car manufacturers have already started implementing some automated driving features in their vehicles.

There are also many companies trying to develop technology for self-driving cars, such as Google announcing a self-driving car prototype. A fully autonomous car is expected by 2019.

13. City under the dome


Construction underway in Dubai shopping center called "Mall of the World", covered with a retractable dome, which controls the climate inside and supplies air conditioning.

The complex will occupy an area of ​​4.46 km2 and will include a large beauty and health center, a cultural and entertainment district, hotels with 20 thousand rooms and much more. This will be the biggest shopping mall with an indoor theme park.

14. Artificial leaves that convert carbon dioxide and sunlight into fuel


Scientists have developed new solar cells that convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into fuel using the sun.

Although there have been many attempts to convert carbon dioxide into something useful, this is the first time that real method. Unlike other technologies that require noble metals such as silver, this method uses a tungsten-based material that is 20 times cheaper and 1,000 times faster.

These solar cells use carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to produce syngas, a mixture of hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide, which can be directly burned or converted into hydrocarbon fuels.

Technologies of the near future

15. Plasma force field that protects cars from accidents and collisions


Boeing has patented a method to create a plasma field by quickly heating air to quickly absorb shock waves.

The force field can be generated using lasers or microwave radiation. The created plasma is air heated to more high temperature than the surrounding air, with a different density and composition. The company believes it will be able to reflect and absorb the energy generated by the explosion, protecting those inside the field.

If the technology can be brought to life, it will be a revolutionary development in the military field.

16. Floating cities


Floating ecopolois, named Lilypad, was proposed by architect Vincent Callebaut for future climate refugees as long-term solution problems of sea level rise. The city can accommodate 50,000 people using renewable energy.

What will the technologies of the future be like, and what will the world around us be like in the next 20 years? Technology continues to evolve rapidly, changing the world today. 20 years ago, no one imagined that everyone would have a smartphone with an Internet connection.

Very soon, technology will reach such a level that it will be able to radically change our understanding of ourselves and the ways we interact with the world around us. Curious? Then let's look beyond the unknown. Here are 25 technologies that are much closer than you think.

The CRISPR technology for editing the genomes of higher organisms, invented today, allows scientists to quickly make changes to the human genome. It is now only a matter of time before doctors are able to give parents the opportunity to remove problems found in the child's DNA. This will also allow the formation of generations with better genetic data, significantly different from those of the previous one.

The modern world is characterized by complexity, nonlinearity and dynamism of ongoing phenomena and processes. The scale of social space is expanding every year, and the speed of social time is increasing at an incredible pace.

The basic law of civilizational development is evolution, that is, constant improvement, complication, transition to ever new levels of organization. Accordingly, the production sector in modern world is also experiencing rapid development various technologies, allowing you to optimize core business processes.

The use of modern technologies in small businesses as a new stage of development

New technologies are designed, first of all, to solve the main problem associated with the organization and functioning of a small business - to ensure maximum profit with minimal costs.

Not only the efficiency and stability of a business depends on the choice of innovations, but also its future long-term development associated with the introduction to the market of a new product that the consumer needs.

Many entrepreneurs have some fear of switching to advanced technologies, which is based on a natural fear of everything unknown. Indeed, in a number of cases, the introduction of new technologies requires significant financial costs and a complete reorganization of production. However, it should be understood that here the risk is justified, since material investments will quickly pay off due to the transfer of production to completely different development cycles.

New technologies allow entrepreneurs achieve the following benefits:

Where to look for ideas, developments and ready-made new technologies

The sphere of new technologies is constantly updated, and various people try to quickly convey information about creative ideas. thematic printed publications , both domestic and foreign transfers.

In addition, experts constantly talk about new technologies and methods of their application. various exhibitions and presentations. There, entrepreneurs have a wonderful opportunity to agree on the possibilities of introducing new technologies in their production with the managers of the relevant companies.

Favorable information environment for the dissemination of new technologies is Internet. Virtual space contains many economic and popular science sites that talk about both high technology, and about successful applications around the world. Of course, the lion's share of such information comes from foreign platforms, so knowledge of foreign languages. By the way, the Internet itself is a unique technological development that has made the lives of billions of people around the globe easier.

If you have not yet registered an organization, then easiest way do this using online services, which will help you generate all the necessary documents for free: If you already have an organization, and you are thinking about how to simplify and automate accounting and reporting, then the following online services will come to the rescue, which will completely replace an accountant in your company and save a lot money and time. All reports are generated automatically and signed electronic signature and is sent automatically online. It is ideal for individual entrepreneurs or LLCs on the simplified tax system, UTII, PSN, TS, OSNO.
Everything happens in a few clicks, without queues and stress. Try it and you will be surprised how easy it has become!

Examples of application in various fields of activity

Unique technologies can be successfully applied in any field of activity: manufacturing, construction, agriculture, waste processing, light industry, food production, services, beauty industry, etc.

Work for small businesses is often based on the latest developments and technologies. They are characterized by ease of maintenance, compactness, mobility, good volumes production. It is in the small business sector that the introduction of advanced technologies may be less painful, since it is easier to rebuild established processes.

The use of modern 3D printers for business is discussed in next video plot:

If we're talking about about the construction business, then here is the application modern materials and techniques allows you to achieve high . Construction and installation work can be improved using materials such as cement-based foam concrete, gypsum-based cellular concrete, carbamide foam, artificial stone, liquid roofing, insulation, wall blocks, seamless materials, etc. It is quite possible to organize the production of such products on a mini scale. -factories, the main condition is its strength and environmental friendliness.

A promising area of ​​new technologies is recycling from wood, metal, and other materials and the creation of waste-free production of the most important goods.

May be in demand products and technologies for “smart home”. Housewives will be especially grateful for these innovations.

Gaining more and more popularity decoration of interior and exterior spaces in exquisite ways: using a mosaic pattern, decorative stone imitating expensive analogues: malachite, marble, etc.

A winning idea is pool production made of polypropylene and aquariums on a frameless basis highest quality and short.

It will become relevant for agricultural producers installation of greenhouses and greenhouses various configurations from modern materials.

You can make a solid profit by setting up equipment production for mini-factories and small workshops using new technologies from scrap materials.

The real idea of ​​the future is receiving business alternative sources energy, for example, in the production of solar panels.

The installation of massage chairs for people’s relaxation can also be considered new technologies. These types of businesses exclude the maintenance of service personnel.

In the field Agriculture modern technologies for processing raw materials into finished products can be applied (production of meat, fish, vegetables, canned milk, feed for birds, animals, fish, etc.).

At home there is an opportunity to engage in low-cost and highly profitable production of blister packaging and plastic cards.

The creative idea is production of advertising soap on individual orders for beauty salons, fitness centers, cafes, restaurants.

Optimization of business processes using cloud services is discussed in the following video clip:

Unusual creative ideas

These ways of organizing a modern business include:

An example of the use of modern chemical metallization technology is presented in the following video:

Progress never stands still, and advanced technologies will, without a doubt, gradually conquer the whole world. Introduction of new technologies into various types of production - a natural process that allows, first of all, to achieve significant savings for the consumer due to the cheaper cost of manufactured goods.

Having decided to move to new technological conditions, it is not necessary to open completely new unexplored production areas. Many of the newest technologies are aimed primarily at improving existing industries. The determining factor here will be the ability to produce original, unique products. It’s also better to start your business with interesting creative ideas and productive technologies.


Technological progress is taking giant strides, and it is easy to guess that in the coming decades there will be radical changes in human daily life. We have collected ten technologies that already exist today, which will become trendsetters in technological fashion for the coming decades.

1. Graphene


In the last few years, this particular word has become something of a new “fashion” in science and technology. The thing is that this material has simply limitless possibilities due to its incredible chemical and physical properties. Today, this flexible carbon compound is being used in everything from medicine to the production of super modern batteries.

2. Innovative batteries


If you look at human civilization globally, it will become clear that it has always depended on just one thing important resource– source of energy. Yesterday there were fires in caves, today there are nuclear reactors, tomorrow humanity will enter the era of super compact, high-capacity batteries. In the last few years, scientists have presented several dozen quite efficient prototypes. The new generation of batteries will be small, safe and can take any shape.

3. Google glass


Sensational a few years ago Google glass V this moment are in the process of restarting the project. Despite the fact that the brainchild so long-awaited by many futurists turned out to be virtually unviable, now Google company continues to develop this concept. It is expected that in the next year or two, the glasses will return to the market, for now only in a corporate version.

4. Energy


As noted earlier, humanity throughout its history has been dependent on the “energy issue.” Despite the generality of this term, energy sources are becoming more and more efficient with each passing century. The 21st century, which began rather uncertainly in this regard, seems to still change the approach of civilization to this issue. Gradually, humanity begins to develop “green” energy sources. Nuclear power plants are also growing in importance around the world.

5. Large Hadron Collider


Today, the LHC is perhaps one of the most “steamed” things, but at the same time, one of the least understood. In short, the LHC allows for the most complex physical experiments in the field of substance synthesis. In 2013, the so-called experiments to search for the “God particle” began. The collider can help scientists better understand the laws of physics, the laws of matter, time, and the very history of our universe. However, some are afraid that sooner or later the LHC will create a huge black hole that will destroy our planet.

6. 3D printing


Three-dimensional printing is a technology that is actively gaining popularity. Perhaps in 100 years they will write about it in history books, just as they write about the invention of agriculture, manufacturing or the industrial revolution. The important thing is that 3D printing is truly capable of revolutionizing the existing production system for literally everything, from toilet paper and furniture to complex equipment, medical implants and entire buildings.

7. GMO


Genetically modified food is perhaps the thing that is the subject of the most heated debate today. On the one hand, with the help of GMOs it would be possible (in the future) to solve the food problem for all earthlings. On the other hand, there is no guarantee that because of GMOs, our children will not grow a third arm. The worst thing is that the results of the experiments cannot convincingly prove either the safety or danger of GMOs for humans. And not to mention the fact that these “results” look much more like corporate wars than science.

8. Biometrics


Biometrics is the new word in security. This technology has been actively used in the last few years and is constantly evolving. It is possible that in the future, absolutely all personal, corporate and private security will be built on removal automated systems human biometric data.

9.iWatch

Much can be blamed Apple company, however, it’s definitely not that they don’t make progress. Despite all the “buts,” today this company is one of those that most strongly influences scientific and technological progress and, moreover, is actively involved in introducing new developments into human life.

10. Brain Interface


Telepaths and psychics, of course, do not exist, but this does not mean that human thought does not have power, physical strength. Over the past five years, scientists from several laboratories have presented their models of brain-computer interfaces, allowing a person to literally control a computer and other devices with the power of thought (using electrical impulses from the brain).

For gadget lovers and innovative technologies we collected more.


New interesting and useful gadgets Every day they are sneaking into our homes more and more intensively. But if you think that you know about all the new products in the modern digital market, you are very mistaken. Because the release of a new smartphone is not the limit of progress.

While we are beginning to clearly see the rapid growth of opportunities modern technologies, which were previously only dreamed of in science fiction books and films, a virtual reality and “smart” homes have already become quite widespread. But there are much rarer and interesting technologies, which are not yet represented in the mainstream consumer market. And the most amazing thing is that they really exist!

1. Bladeless vortex station for generating wind energy

Wind energy is in a great way power supply to homes and businesses because it is inexhaustible and more efficient than various types fuel. However, the conventional bladed wind turbines that we have all seen no longer count best choice to harness the power of the wind.

The bladeless windmill is confidently taking their place. This device stores wind energy without the use of blades, meaning it requires less materials, is less noisy and is safer for birds. While the technology is not yet being produced in large quantities, it is being extensively tested around the world. Sales of these wind turbines are currently aimed at funding and supporting the development of an even more productive product, which they may become before their official launch date.

While the company admits that its product is 30 percent less efficient at storing energy than traditional wind turbines, certain advantages of bladeless wind turbines still allow it to attract quite a lot of customers. On the one hand, their creation requires 40 percent less materials, and such stations can be easily placed even on a small plot of land. In addition, due to the absence of moving parts, wind turbines do not require oil or other lubricants to maintain them. Ultimately, this design promises to be more efficient.

2. Pain relief technology

NeuroMetrix presents New Product Quell is a modern pain reliever. It works by connecting electrodes to specific areas of the body to stimulate nerves and block pain signals, which typically takes about 15 minutes. This technology is perfectly adjusted to the human body and is comfortable enough even to sleep with it. This belt is intended for people with painful diabetic neuropathy, fibromyalgia, sciatica and osteoarthritis, although it can also be used by people suffering from other types of pain.

3. False nail with computer mouse functions

If you often need to access your computer or smartphone when your hands are full, you don't have to stop what you're doing to scroll a page or play a video. NailO will radically simplify the way you interact with your phone and laptop. This device is a small plate that is attached to the thumbnail. Thus, with the help of your index finger you can control your device by wireless network, even if your hands are busy with other things. A nice bonus is that the owners of this gadget can create their own own design NailO, change colors and many other ways to express your design preferences.

4. Smarty Ring

This device allows you to effectively control your phone even from a distance. Ringly is designed to get you notifications about what's happening on your mobile. To do this you need to install various colors and icons for phone calls, emails, messages, reminders, Twitter, Facebook and other apps, and then just leave your phone in your wallet or pocket without worrying about missing something important. With five different colors and four pattern variations, the ring can be customized to suit each user's preferences.

Essentially, this ring allows you to be aware of all calls, notifications and SMS without having to constantly check your phone. It works even if the phone is out of range. As Ringly says, “Now you can take a little escape from your phone while still getting notifications about things that might be important.”

5. Water lamp

Looking for ways to reduce the amount of energy you use? Then an LED wireless lamp powered by water can help you out. It works thanks to a hydroelectric battery. The battery and water together create an electrochemical reaction that produces enough energy to power the lamp.

This concept is not new. The process of creating a water lamp began almost five years ago, but, nevertheless, it is a rather rare device.

While the lamp offers customers more modern look on methods of lighting and energy saving, it is perfect for night lighting at home, as well as for long hiking trips.

6. Dog translator

If you thought that a dog translator was something out of science fiction, then prepare to be surprised. Today, technology has already been created that allows your dog to speak using a special headset that translates the dog’s thoughts into human language. In 2014, the developers planned to raise $10,000 to fund the No More Woof project, but they managed to double this amount in just two months of fundraising.

The basic version of this device can translate up to three emotions, while the more advanced version can perceive up to four thought patterns, including hunger, curiosity and fatigue.

7. Robotic limbs

This is truly an amazing achievement. modern science and technology. After 13 weeks of training, a 52-year-old paralyzed woman was able to fully control a robotic arm using just her brain waves. This was achieved by placing two 96-channel intracortical microelectrodes in the motor cortex of the woman's brain.

This technology and the robotic arms that work with it can work real miracles! Thanks to it, patients with spinal injuries will be able to perform various tasks themselves with the help, as in this example, of a special manipulator in the form of hands. It certainly seems futuristic or even reminiscent of Star Wars, but this type of technology can also replace complete missing limbs so that the patient will be able to more or less care for himself.

Every day humanity is moving forward more and more rapidly. We are now surrounded by such devices that previously only existed in science fiction works and the dreams of the most daring scientists. And, as Andrei Valentinov aptly noted in one of his works, even “teapots are smart these days. Soon they will learn to walk dogs.”
