 The 2023 Predictions That Everyone's Talking About

While many people have their predictions, it’s often difficult to tell which ones have real value and which ones are nothing more than hot air. The following 2023 predictions are very important to take into consideration, because they may represent the way things will go down in the next eight years. Whether you believe them or not, you should know what they are so that you can make your own educated decision.

Unmanned Ground Vehicles

A new trend that is becoming increasingly popular in the world of transportation is the use of unmanned ground vehicles. These vehicles are used for everything from construction, to package delivery and even law enforcement. 

The benefits of using UGVs (unmanned ground vehicles) are that they have a smaller environmental impact than traditional cars do, they don't need to be fueled up or charged as electric cars do, and they can carry more cargo than cars do.

Use of Blockchain in Identity Management

In the future, blockchain technology will be used as a decentralized database for identity verification. Blockchain is an immutable and transparent ledger that can store any type of information in a secure and trustless manner. 

This technology will be able to provide users with a better understanding of how data is being used and how it impacts their privacy. In addition, centralized repositories for identity management (Identity Providers) will be replaced by a distributed ledger for identity verification (Identity Ledgers). This change will help to mitigate the risk of cyberattacks.

Hygienic Air Filters

Air filters have been around for a long time, but in the last few decades, as awareness of the dangers of air pollution has grown, so too has their importance. These days, it's common to see homes and buildings with sleek-looking, white or silver box-like structures on their roofs. 

These devices are air purifiers and they work by removing contaminants from the air before it enters a building. 

They come in all different shapes and sizes to suit any need. But what exactly are these contaminants? 

And what kind of health hazards can they pose? 

Some common pollutants include particulate matter (PM), ozone, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and more.

Pop-Up Retail Stores

These stores are built in anticipation of a specific event and then dismantled once that event has come to an end. 

Each pop-up store is designed to be different from the next, with a variety of curated items on offer including clothing, furniture, food, and art.

Pop-ups have proven to be hugely successful for small businesses and entrepreneurs looking for an opportunity to expand their customer base without investing too much at first. 

The lower risk involved in starting a pop-up means that it is easier for such ventures to start as well as make the necessary changes needed when they are not able to get enough customers or sales going.

Vertical Farming is Widespread

Vertical farming is a big trend in the world of agriculture. This is where crops are grown indoors, stacked on top of each other, and usually under LED lights that give off just the right amount of light for photosynthesis. 

Vertical farming is much more efficient than traditional farming because it uses less water and land, which means that more people can be fed with the same amount. 

A bonus to vertical farming is that there are no pesticides or herbicides used at all because everything is grown in a controlled environment - so you can eat your vegetables without worrying about what kind of harmful chemicals might be lurking in them.

Lab-Grown Foods have Mass Appeal

Lab-grown foods are made in a laboratory and are typically seen as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional agricultural products. 

This is because lab-grown foods can be created without using land, water, or any other natural resources. Also, since there is no need for a farm to grow the plants, lab-grown food production does not rely on an outside energy source (i.e. fossil fuels) and instead runs off of renewable energy such as solar power or geothermal energy. All of these factors contribute to the lower price point for this type of food which makes it more affordable than organic produce at most grocery stores.

Micro Data Centers are Ubiquitous

Micro data centers will be ubiquitous in homes and businesses as they become more affordable. The units are self-sustaining, compact, and can be placed anywhere. They use less power than a laptop and can be stacked to provide additional computing power when needed.
