Smart email, mind-reading devices and biometric password are predicted to become mainstream in the next five years.
IBM has predicted the future, and it contains mind-reading machines and the death of character-based passwords. This revelation stems from the company's sixth annual Five in Five where it predicts five innovations that will change our lives within the next five years. The company assesses not just the availability of a new technology, but also the likelihood of its large scale adoption.
"In addition to the PR value, we complete this exercise annually because it makes IBMers think hard about what’s possible and to strive to make it so," writes IBM's Steve Hamm. "Simply put, the process of choosing the predictions and defending them is good for us."
