Emerging Technologies And Their Practical Applications

Today we are living in Tech-Era, where technology is emerging at a great speed. Just few years’ back where multimedia cellphones and internet was a big deal for us, today almost every hand carry a 4G network. Technology is helping us in our life with many faces. From nanotechnology to artificial intelligence, our scientists are bringing us the best tech to make out life simpler and easier, the world of less manpower and more productivity. The advancement in technology has resulted in successful Robo-citizen “Sophia”.

Irrespective of fields, Gadgets are helping us in almost all ways. Some of the emerging technologies with their applications in our practical lives are listed below:

• Artificial Intelligence: AI came into existence in 1958, invented by John MacCarthy, this started a new age, which enriched machines with decision making capability. And if you are thinking that these two words are used only for heavy equipment’s, robots and large scale companies, then you need to give it a second thought, because the smartphone you are holding is totally based on Artificial Intelligence. The smart assistant in your phone or the portrait mode in your camera This works with the help of AI. Not only in this, companies like Tesla have successfully launched self-driving car where AI is implemented. The feeds in your Facebook and the music in your playlist is according to your past web histories, which is decided by AI.

• Robot: Robots came into existence in 1954; George Devol created a fully digital robot. Robots are contributing in our life a lot. Generally robots are used to do repetitive works where humans fail, or that are dangerous. Therefore saving the life and growing the output. But now, it is not only restricted to the production companies, but robots have also contributed to medical, sch as robot surgery, in field of protections such as automatic weapons, education such as Smart boards, and even around your home the popular Alexa, or Google home assistant.

• Virtual reality(VR): VR was introduced in 1957, it’s an interactive theatre like experience, which takes us to a virtual world with a great experience. It was widely used for gaming purpose, but now it has expanded its limits and reached to the training purpose in military. The commanders are trained with a VR that can train them in fighting driving and combat situation. It has also been used in education sector these days to learn a particular subject more effectively and deeply.

• 3D Printer: Somewhere around 1980s, Chuck Hull a solid plastic model, built up in layers. This has revolutionized the business sector at a good pace. Where it was hard to get auto parts every time of the same model at every place, the 3D printing made it easier. It can also be used in office where explaining a model was difficult in the 2 Dimensional paper, it is much easier on a 3D model. Not only this, it’s fun when you can create a toy for your kid or customize a keychain or any other household objects. Well the most important implementation of 3D printers are in space organizations, where the defected spare parts of rockets can be printed and used up.

• Nanotechnology: This technology was found by Richard Feynman, on December 29, 1959. Despite of being so complex and too small, it has many benefits. This technology can be used in the fields of medicine and health to repair our body at cellular level, even in the minute areas. Nano techniques and tools have been also used in the field of agriculture and food processing, packaging department, production and productivity. Nanotechnology also contributes to save the environment. It has less pollution and also it can clean up the existing pollution hence improving the world.

Every one of us enjoys the tech today, from laser weapons to robotic surgery, where technology today can protect us it can also destroy. Thus it is important to use this immense power carefully, that needs our responsibility to take it over with good moral values.
