The cost of "smart" sensors and sensors decreases with each passing day. Experts believe that soon all the clothes will "go" to the Internet. Small devices that are connected to a single network system, allow a full exploration of the environment - temperature, atmospheric pressure, air pollution and so on.
2022 - will be the first machine printed the 3D-printer
3D-printing technology is developed - there are new devices and print media, it is now not only the plastic. Audi has already shown a concept car produced using additive processes - layer overlay material. In 2022 we will see in the first sale of such a machine.
2023 - 10% of the points will be connected to the Internet
