What future technologies, not currently in existence, do you foresee being used to further communication, particularly in interview and interrogation situations?
The future of communication technology is headed towards
nano-satellite technology which will be significantly smaller than the satellite technology currently being used. This nano-satellite technology will not only be much smaller but will be available on a chip. Satellite technology in interview situations can and is normally used to transmit information or pictures to specified destinations. The nano-satellite technology will transmit information at speeds faster than the speed of light. In addition, these nano-satellites will be combined with biometrics so as to provide more comprehensive information. In interrogation situations, the biometric profile of the person being interrogated, especially voice and eye profiles will be transmitted simultaneously to other specified locations like all international intelligence databases. This will be of utmost importance because the profiles of suspects will be available to intelligence bodies internationally.
Another feature of this technology is that it will be able to act as a polygraph machine. It will however be wireless and have no physical contact points with the subject being interviewed. The polygraph will also be different in that it will record thermal changes in the subject near the pulse points as well changes in the iris and pupil of the eye to be able to detect statements which are true and those which are lies. In conclusion, this new technology will be a combination of nano-satellite, biometric and wireless polygraph all rolled into one. It will be highly efficient because it will combine the functions of different machinery and thus save on time while providing the highest efficiency in communication technology.
