Problem Solving
AI programming and languages became developed allowing the fields of artificial intelligence to be applied. Although this was the start to a bigger idea, this time there were many failures as well. -
Moore's Law
The idea that the number of transistors would double every two years. This became a huge play in economic business decisions and motivated electronic development. -
Office Assisant
Office used algorithms to allow it to make decisions based on the chance of intent. It created AI characters that would be on the screen to communicated and make interactions with the user. This was a helpful, however many hated it due to the timing in which "Clippy" would appear and feeling as though their work was being interuppted. -
Affective Computing Begins
Picard who was a teacher at MIT began to do research and was able to find how images were processed and was identify the skills of face recognition. -
iSET
Picard and el Kaliouby worked together to create a technology that be an emotional prosthesis. This would help to monitor the social interactions and help them in the areas they struggled most with. This was a huge hit for those with ASD due to their reduced ability to regulate social interactions.

Wearable technology
A device called iCalm that was wireless became created that allowed for tracking of different aspects such as heart rate, sleep, stress, physical activities, etc. A new way to monitor without needing to be connected to something and could let you know when changes were taking place -
All Electric
Within the next few years, there will be minimal use of gas powered cars and instead most will be electric. They will be AI controlled and be more capable to have AI function making humans less needed for driving. These are already on the rise and they will continue to grow within the next few years. -
Robots
Within the next 100 years, I think most products and jobs will be done by robots. In a way like assembly lines are done but instead it will be all machines and robots. This making so people can control from home or wherever they are to allow for more work to be done. Yet, this will also cause issues to many people as they lose their jobs.
