The Dragon capsule by SpaceX already carries cargo -

to fly If your ambition is, in The World of Space and you have a lot of money to spare - then 2020 will be an exciting Year may.

If the Space is not really your thing, but you want a much larger screen on your phone, then 2020, some tech For You .

to think But if you think there are already too many phones Out There , and the technology industry needs to be less wasteful, as well as some of the tech could start a company with her.

Here is a small taste of what could come in the next Twelve Months .

Manned Space missions

by 2020, will be a "decisive Year " for the Space , according to Guy Norris , senior editor of Aviation Week & Space Technology

Since Nasa retired the Space Shuttle in 2011, the US relies on Russian spacecraft to transport astronauts to The International Space Station .

Boeing uses its CST-100 Starliner crew module final tests

That could change everything in the Year 2020, when, if all goes according to plan, two in the U.S.-built Space ship should start, crew.

Boeing CST-100 Starliner, which can carry up to seven astronauts into orbit, is due for its first test flight today, before The First manned flight, probably in the Year 2020.

Meanwhile, the SpaceX Dragon capsule is due to some final tests in the early-to 2020, and if they all go, well, then it is also would be ready for a manned mission.

Other systems, designed to reach near-earth Space , could also achieve milestones in the Year 2020. Blue Origin , which could be owned by Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos , ready to attract tourists to their New Shepard suborbital Rocket .

Virgin Galactic could be ready to fly passengers into Space in the Year 2020

Virgin Galactic could be ready in 2020 to take passengers into Space , hoping for More Than a decade later, as founder Richard Branson originally.

It is reported that More Than 600 people have put down deposits for Virgin Galactic flight, with ticket prices of $250,000 (£195,000).

"It's finally the time of delivery for a quantity of these promised programs and a chance for a whole range of technologies, in order to prove really that you for the First Time ," says Mr Norris.

technology and environment

protests, and by the Extinction of Rebellion, have helped move the Climate Change on The Agenda for technology companies.

Among those who are Under Pressure Mobile Phone makers. It is estimated that there are 18 billion mobile phones lying unused around The World . With around 1. 3 billion mobile phones sold in the Year 2019, the number is growing all the time.

Mobile Phone manufacturer is Under Pressure , their production processes more environment-friendly and their mobile phones more easily repairable.

Extinction , Rebellion, takeover, Trafalgar Square earlier this Year ,

The same goes for manufacturers of other consumer goods, including televisions, washing machines and vacuum cleaners.

take a look at The Company the Mobile Phone services. Vodafone has already promised that in the United Kingdom to 2023 to its networks all run on sustainable energy sources. Others are likely to follow.

Business travel is Under Pressure as well. Ben Wood , analyst at CCS Insight, says it is "socially unacceptable" - to fly around The World for conferences and company-switch to virtual meetings.

It could also the green-initiatives in the Cloud Computing industry. Its facilities, which house thousands of computer servers are used, huge amounts of energy.

Flexible displays

The introduction of Samsung's first foldable Mobile Phone is not proceeding in April smoothly. Several reviewers broke the screens and The Company had to make some quick improvements before it went on sale in September.

Motorola had a successful launch of its new Razr, though some critics complained about The Price . But this is unlikely to hold back the market. Samsung is expected to launch more devices with flexible displays next Year , possibly a Tablet .

China's TCL is betting big on flexible displays

TCL, the second largest manufacturer of televisions in China, has also promised to launch its first mobile foldable device in 2020, And Then other products quickly.

It is betting big on the market, have invested $5. 5 billion in the development of flexible displays.

analysts say that the screens integrated in all types of surfaces. Smart speaker could have wrap-around displays, watches-devices-a carrier for the display and the fridge doors with large screens.

Super-fast mobile

We can expect that the introduction of high-speed mobile networks. By the end of 2019, with approximately 40 networks in 22 countries will be offered 5G service.

by the end of 2020 should be doubled this number to around 125 operators, says Kester Mann at CCS Insight.

"It's an interesting development in the way that 5G could be a rating of contracts. A 5G contract without a Mobile Phone cost around £30 per month and for that you will likely get to unlimited amounts of Data . "

We expect that the introduction of high-speed mobile networks, say more

But analysts that next Year we can see the prices on the basis of the speed of the service you want is priced a bit of the way home with broadband already.

Vodafone already offers contracts on the basis of speed in the UK. Also in the UK, The Network 3 to slide is likely that 5G will offer as an alternative to broadband at home, analysts say. His appeal to the people that move a lot of students, for Example - and don't want a landline service.

quantum computer

in the next Year Will be another big one for quantum computing, the technology that uses the confusing but powerful behavior of small particles, such as electrons and photons?

In October, a task in 200 seconds, the fastest supercomputer, would have taken 10,000 years to complete. There was some quibble about his performance, but experts say it was a great moment.

components of Google's quantum computer

"It's a fantastic milestone," says Philipp Gerbert, a member of The Deep -tech-group at the consulting firm BCG: "It is clear that you exceeded the traditional computer, by what margin, that you can debate. You refuted some lingering doubt. "

Mr. Moore thinks that other leaders in The Field - Ibm , Rigetti and IonQ - could clear that hurdle: "they all have outstanding teams, one or two will achieve a similar Phase in the course of the next Year . "

if the technology is demonstrated, the quantum Computer could spur breakthroughs in the chemical, pharmaceutical and engineering

Google also promised, his quantum computer, for use by outsiders, in the Year 2020, but no details.

"of course people would love to have access to this," Mr Gerbert says.
