Economically important technologies in the next decade will be mobile Internet, automation of intellectual work, "Internet properties" and "computer cloud" (cloud computing).

There's published a new study which technologies will have the greatest impact on the economy of the future and limit the focus of research on technologies that already progressing rapidly and have a global, both economic and social impact.

According to the survey the main economically important technologies in the next decade will be those that are already developed - the mobile Internet, which is already common practice and is on the rise in developing countries; automation of intellectual work - newspapers such as computerized voices that can perform the functions of user services , "Internet properties" (Internet of things) - an organization of physical objects in the tradition of the Internet, for example. Monitoring the flow of product through the factory, and "computer cloud" (cloud computing) - data storage on servers that are accessed through the Internet.

Each of these, according to analysts' expectations of McKinsey, worth more than a trillion dollars into the world economy 2025. year.

An interesting finding of the study is that some of the areas of innovation that is currently causing a huge public attention, have a minor effect on the economy in the near future, such as a car without driver, 3D printing, and renewable energy.

Perhaps the main thesis of this study that it is precisely this fact that the medium-term impact on economic development than those that are currently causing the most excitement, imagination and attention of the public. On the contrary, a potentially powerful innovations are usually the ones that grow slowly for many years.

Computer and Internet cloud are not new inventions, but the innovations that emerge it and cause them economic benefits, it is only the beginning.

A concrete example of the automotive services, which have been around for a century, mobile technology has been around for decades, and GPRS systems, but only in the past few years to understand how these technologies together into a pretty good service for motorists.
