"For instance, you can have somebody in the third world who has access to a phone or a smartphone but doesn't have access to the power grid, which is a very common thing, and literally in a shoe has something that recovers energy from walking and can charge the battery to enable that person to actually become connected with the rest of the world."
Another prediction: passwords could soon become a thing of the past. IBM says developments in biometric technology could soon make passwords unnecessary. Some of the most common biometrics used to identify people are fingerprints, face and voice recognition, and iris scans. The iris is the colored part of the eye.
Bernie Meyerson says this technology will soon be more widely used by money machines and other devices.
"Imagine that things recognize you. You walk up to an ATM. Takes one look, says, Yep, you're you."另一种预言的内容是，人们从走路、跑步这样的活动中提取能量提供给自己的家和办公室。Bernie Meyerson说这名为微发电。
比方说，第三世界国家中有个人可能拥有电话或智能手机，但是却找不到能源，这是个相当普遍的状况。然而如果在鞋子里放置一个能从走路当中回收能量继而充电的装置，那就能让那人和世界联系啦。
另一项预言：密码将成为过去。IBM公司称，生物计量科技上的发展可能很快将淘汰密码。最常用的确认身份的生物计量方式是指纹、面部、声音识别和虹膜扫描。虹膜就是眼睛着色的那部分。
Bernie Meyerson说，这项技术将很快被广泛运用到取款机和其他装置上去。“想象一下东西它们认识你！当你走向ATM的时候，互相看一眼，它就会说，啊，这不是你吗！”
