RMN Digital | December 18, 2013 | Americas, Corporate, Lifestyle, Masses, Regions, Strategy | No Comments

Tech company IBM (NYSE: IBM) has unveiled the eighth annual “IBM 5 in 5” (#ibm5in5) – a list of innovations that have the potential to change the way people work, live and interact during the next five years.

This year’s IBM 5 in 5 explores the idea that everything will learn – driven by a new era of cognitive systems where machines will learn, reason and engage with us in a more natural and personalized way.

These innovations are beginning to emerge enabled by cloud computing, big data analytics and learning technologies all coming together, with the appropriate privacy and security considerations, for consumers, citizens, students and patients.

RMN Digital comments: There is nothing new or important in the IBM study and people will forget what IBM said for the next five years. As part of their sales gimmicks, companies keep releasing findings from such armchair studies and surveys to entice the gullible consumers or enterprise buyers. You can simply ignore all such studies and their findings.

The 5 innovations, according to IBM, are:

The classroom will learn you
Buying local will beat online
Doctors will routinely use your DNA to keep you well
A digital guardian will protect you online
The city will help you live in it

IBM says that over time computers will get smarter and more customized through interactions with data, devices and people, helping us take on what may have been seen as unsolvable problems by using all the information that surrounds us and bringing the right insight or suggestion to our fingertips right when it’s most needed.

A new era in computing will lead to breakthroughs that will amplify human abilities, assist us in making good choices, look out for us and help us navigate our world in powerful new ways, suggests IBM.

The IBM 5 in 5 is based on market and societal trends as well as emerging technologies from IBM’s Research labs around the world that can make these transformations possible, says the company.
