ABSTRACT
With the knowledge gained from this book, the reader will have a better understanding of how smart devices work, how equipment operates, what VR, AR, and avatars do, and how they are presently used with the new technologies. However, the arrival of the quantum computer from the 2030s onwards will revolutionise computing, making it so fast that it will change the world as we know it. Suddenly, there will be all manner of smart devices on offer, many initially in the games area from which we will learn how to use the new smart quantum devices, in preparation for space travel of the future. This will affect everyone around you, and the chapter really speculates on what they will be, leaving the reader to wonder at what the future will potentially hold. The chapter concludes with a view of the future automated, robotic world which our children will inherit and the sorts of smart jobs they will work in, all promoted by technology and a knowledge of STEM. The chapter concludes with suggestions for ‘Further Reading’, and following this chapter, the book is completed with an Index and Glossary which on its own, will be a useful dictionary of technology for future use.
