Some researches lead us to talk about 5 technologies that
will change and ameliorate the day life of business travelers.
The voice as a research tool:

The aim will be to replace the keyboard by the voice
recognition when doing research on Google about hotels, flights, restaurants…
On the future this technology will be the only way to research
information and it will also propose a new dimension of services with the
possibility to choose exactly the hotel room, to check in and check out without
going to the reception or to select the seat for a flight or a table at a
restaurant.
Near Field Communication (NCF) more than a tool for
payment:

Nowadays smartphones permit us to check in for our
flight or to use them as ticket for transport. With this new technology people
will be able to open hotels rooms - their phones replacing the key – or to
unlock the minibar and inform the system about what has been consumed. This
technology will also be able to pay taxi services and the bill will be sent
directly to the company. Another aspect will be the voice recognition to accommodate the different schedule changes that
may be encountered during a business trip. The
smartphone will directly manage to prevent a contact of a delay or it will reschedule
your rail or air booking.
Intelligent aircraft seating:

Tomorrow, aircraft seats made with intelligent textiles will take into account any
allergies or medical contraindications
of passengers, stored and transferred
to the support by their cellphones.
This system aims to
ameliorate the health and the comfort of the customers.
A tool to help and anticipate problems:
Smartphones will be able to postpone a meeting or a
flight itself and also send flower or card to the contact of the user for special
occasions such as birthday, Valentine’s Day, noted on his agenda.
A way to protect yout health:
In the future, hearth rate, hypoglycemia, overwork…
will be measured in real time by our smartphones that would indicate any failure
to a medical
server. They
will also be able to offer us a list of recommended drugs
or intelligent textiles.
In our opinion these new
technologies could bring big changes to our lives and they would free us from typing
on a keyboard to do a research or from carrying around cash, credit cards,
keys, traditional ID cards... All of that
would be stored on our phone, and we could make payments or open our hotel room
or anticipate a flight delay by simply carrying this phone.
However, there are obvious
security and privacy issues to be addressed. Even
if we use systems more and more efficient against piracy, we are never safe. Still
in 2012, important websites such as the one of the FBI or the White House have
been hacked. Another important issue is the dehumanization that these new technologies
engender. Human contact is increasingly forgotten. We increasingly feel that
the digital substitutes for humans. And yet, the human presence reassures
people.
If we are not able to trust
in humans anymore, what will be their role in the future on this planet?
