It is true that technology is changing the world. Technology not only changes our lifestyle, but also subtly changes the way people interact with each other. 3D printers are changing the manufacturing model and unleashing innovation. The endless emergence of mobile phone applications is also changing people's consumption habits, and nanofiltration technology has quietly changed the way people drink water. The most popular Google Glass nowadays will truly allow the Internet to penetrate into people's lives. Recently, Business Insider took stock of 15 new technologies that are destined to change the future of society:

Google Glasses

Google Glasses will make us cyborgs. Google Glass is one of the most exciting products right now because of its huge potential. It will allow us to experience daily activities on a deeper level and enhance our interaction with our surroundings. We will be more connected to the Internet than ever before, and we will be able to use Google Glass to browse all kinds of useful information, such as text messages, news comments, tweets and navigation information. With Google Glass, we can also record everything around us and store the recorded things in the cloud, thus ensuring that we will not forget the precious moments in life.

>Robots will trigger changes in the workforce. Affordable industrial robots are starting to appear in the United States, capable of performing a variety of simple tasks and working safely alongside humans. Baxter, the first robot from robotics company Rethink Robotics, can handle materials, load and unload goods on conveyor belts, inspect and test parts, perform simple machine operations, and pack and unpack boxes. Rethink Robotics hopes to make the United States more competitive by creating low-cost manufacturing technologies and processes. If all goes according to plan, Baxter should be able to work alongside humans and help the United States better compete with overseas countries where labor is cheap. Baxter's ultimate goal is to complete more difficult tasks, such as assembling parts on electronics assembly lines. Rethink Robotics is also working on developing software to let Baxter communicate with conveyor belts and other machines.
