SMELL

Computers will be able to detect diseases via smell. Similar to how a breathalyzer can detect alcohol from a breath sample, sensors in hospital rooms or even smartphones will be able to identify molecules in the air and match them with known biomarkers associated with liver and kidney disease, diabetes, and tuberculosis. People won’t have to wait for their annual physical to learn that something might be amiss. They’ll get an early warning.

TOUCH

You will be able to reach out and touch through your smartphone. When you’re shopping online, haptic technologies, which use electro-mechanical means to simulate the feel of things, will make it possible for you to distinguish among different materials, textures, and weaves. You’ll be able to feel a sweater, jacket, or upholstery sample right through the screen.
