6 wacky technological predictions for 2023

What may occur in technology


The more time you spend in the IT industry, the better sense you get of how things could develop. It seems like you're always keeping your ear to the ground, listening for the approaching train. Nobody can see it, and even if they place their own heads on the icy, unyielding metal, they won't feel a tremble. But after 36 years of listening, your senses have improved, and you can now hear and feel things that others can't. You then step up and deliver a story about potential technological possibilities while staring into the distance.


EV makes a change.


The whole auto industry is working to transition from internal combustion engines to electric motors, and in 2023, all the main producers should release new sedans and vehicles. The arrival of EV trucks from GM(opens in new tab) and Ford(opens in new tab) might reverse the slow rate of EV growth in the US, which has trailed behind China and Europe.

In an odd twist, EVs, which are intended to help us fight climate change by creating no emissions that damage the environment, may also make us more susceptible to weather events brought on by climate change. Electric cars' massive lithium-ion batteries, which often power the whole base of the car, were damaged by salt-water floods caused by Hurricane Ian, making them more prone to catching fire (opens in new tab).


In 2023, Tesla, the company that makes the majority of electric vehicles worldwide, could wish to solve this issue. However, that once-reliable leader is now on thin ice due to significant stock losses(opens in new tab) and a CEO who seems more focused on social media than the EV brand he established. To rescue Tesla and advance the overall EV industry in 2023, Elon Musk will need to concentrate his attention on the company.


Justification for smart homes


Without a question, Matter will be the greatest story in the field of smart homes. Unfortunately, people won't grasp it or even care about it for the most of 2023. However, if Matter performs its job, a lot of people could still gain from it.


Customers may discover that the setup and interoperability across their various digital assistants simply works as more and more smart home devices purchased throughout the year enable Matter. Even if customers don't care at all about Matter, this will undoubtedly be a success for Matter and all of its partners.


If not enough businesses also embrace Thread(opens in new tab), the low-power mesh network technology that has been coupled with Matter for quicker and simpler smart home connections, that would be the only thing that may slow down Matter's acceptance and usage. Too many items that support one (Matter) but not the other have I noticed (Thread).



Leaving behind social media


In 2023, the social media landscape will continue to change rapidly, with Twitter either gone or under new management, Facebook taking a Metaverse break, Instagram searching for itself, and TikTok fending off an untrusting US government.


This will provide room for the emergence of certain new platforms. Mastodon has an early lead as a Twitter substitute despite its obscurity, even if it isn't much of a news platform. It is possible that a brand-new platform is about to emerge that brings together the finest features of early Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Or maybe that's simply a hopeful thought.


Will our fondness for social media even continue in 2023 is the question. My bet is against it.


Apple folding


Although I'm virtually convinced we'll see a folding iPad or iPhone, I'm not sure it will be released this year. I'm saying that at WWDC 2023, we could see a peek of Apple's next product.


Apple might allow developers 18 months to create new applications for folding and perhaps dual-screen iPhone and iPads by showcasing this next-generation iOS or iPadOS gadget early.


It is not an unusual action. I clearly recall Apple introducing the cylindrical Mac Pro at WWDC 2013, which took six months to launch. Perhaps even more time in the development oven will be required for this more drastic product change.


Us and sustainability


The newest technology that can regenerate your face, fold your clothes, or transport you to the Metaverse won't be one of the top stories at CES 2023. It will be sustainability, and the story will go on until 2023.


It gives businesses a chance to discuss climate change without really doing anything about it. They will all, instead, refer to things as "carbon neutral," "net zero," and "sustainability." The last one seems to be referring to a planet that is more capable of supporting life.


We will discuss our personal at-home carbon footprint for the first time and inquire as to how the goods and innovations we introduce can assist us in reducing our own emissions. When considering their first EV, many people's efforts can end outside the front door (see above). However, the benefits of smart house technology may ultimately be combined with Matter-based systems that can interact and create a better and more neutral home energy profile, rather than merely cost savings from more efficient equipment.


Metaverse suspended


On the one hand, I'm thrilled with the advances in VR and AR I've had access to thanks to Meta's most recent Quest headgear. The Quest Pro demonstrates how far mixed reality has progressed. A system that still can't allow virtual things to interact with the actual world naturally is, however, far from ideal, as many people have pointed out to me.


The fact that no one is interested in the Metaverse is both good and terrible news for Meta. In other words, there is no pressing need to create an all-encompassing, functional universe for use at home, business, and pleasure. While the majority of users are still largely using their VR headsets for gaming and fitness, Meta will instead spend 2023 perfecting its mixed reality hardware and world-building software.


The year of the Metaverse will not be 2023, and it may even skip 2024. With 10X better optics and graphics in 2025 and much smaller, lighter electronics, I believe things will really start to pick off.


These nine predictions vary from being almost likely to being outlandish. And it's just a peek. Use these forecasts as inspiration for your own predictions.
