It’s 2020 which means that we have 10 years left to lift the 17 UN Sustainability Goals if we want to reach the deadline set up in 2015 when the agenda was agreed.
Ten Tech Predictions 2020
2020 sets the stage for a brand-new decade. And, if technology keeps developing at the pace of the previous one, it promises to be the craziest and most exciting ever. In many ways, we have arrived at a crossroads. Crucial questions need to be asked.
Can we take care of the only planet we have? Will we develop technology in an ethical way, supporting a world we want to live in, without increasing the gap between the haves and the have-nots? And, finally, will we maintain control over the artificial technologies and gene-editing power we’re currently creating? These questions will be at the top of our digital and tech agendas in 2020. And, as in earlier years, I have curated ten of the most interesting and pressing digital trends for the first year of this new era. Let’s take a look.
Another important issue linked to the sustainability agenda is our ability to trust the technologies implemented in our society. And, it’s not looking good.

Since the first mapping of the human genome in 2003, the understanding and development within genomics have moved extremely fast.
3D printers have been around for more than two decades now, but they have mostly been regarded as exotic toys and not seen as a serious competitor to existing production methods.
The sister technology to additive manufacturing is computational design or generative design as it is also called.
Packages delivered to us by drones are one of these crazy tech ideas we have been entertaining ourselves with for years that now suddenly seems to become a reality!
Banks have come under extreme scrutiny and pressure the last years, due to regulations like GDPR, PSD2, and MIFID2. this have hit the banking sector hard.
Our perception of money has changed dramatically over the past ten years. With technologies like Venmo, Paypal, Peer-to-peer payment solutions, Apple Pay, online banking, Bitcoins and so on, physical cash becomes rarer all the time.
There is a common understanding that Moore’s Law as we know it (the idea that the number of transistors that can fit onto a chip doubles every two years or so) is coming to an end.
