Emerging technologies and Innovation

Innovation, what exactly does one mean by innovation? The new ideas, methods, thoughts, concept or products that can be converted to actions which when instigated can lead to a positive and effective change. It is in short implementing of inventive act, which results in growth of the organization or welfare of the society. Looking at this concept I am interested in few emerging technologies which have inspired to a great extent.

Firstly, I would discuss about Artificial Intelligence. It is study of intelligent machines and software that have the ability to learn, gain knowledge, talk or communicate, handle and argue and distinguish the objects. It helps in solving real world problems. The role of artificial intelligence is booming in field of science and technology. In future it has the capability to replace human in many fields. It differs from computer science because it has the ability to perceive, act and analyse. It is kind of a smarter version of computer. It works on the basis of artificial neutral network and some scientific theorems. The application of this technology is vast few examples are cybernetics, military use, medical, graphics and visual, gaming, robotics and many more. Besides positive outcomes, we need to consider the pitfallsof this technology. It can be dangerous and can be the end of human race. It will make the humans paralysed or fully dependent also some error caused while designing or programming can create a huge problem and threat.

Another great technology is 3D (3 Dimension), it has vast possibility and use in human life and specially in entertainment field. They make use of 3D glasses (active or passive) for viewing. It places 2 minutely different images on top of each other in alternating continuation. After wearing those 3D glasses, we would be able to see the separating image and will be transmitted to us. Active 3D glasses have some electronics which have the ability to dissect the image in different ways, while passive 3D glasses don’t have any such electronic technique. We have seen the use of 3D technology in our laptops, movies and TVs and other such products. Architecture, education and gaming software, whereas mix of colour, texture, lighting and view are necessary for images to appear 3 dimensional. Few years back the 3D technology was costly which is not the case now.This technology has few loop holes like can cause nausea and headaches to some people, it has limited few and requires special digital screen for display, visual and focus problems. Recently, researchers have tried to implement use of 3D without glasses using active shutter glasses on projectors or screens.

There is one technology called nanotechnology which has interest me the most. It can be hard to envisage how small or mini would Nano mean. Nanotechnology is use and study of small things, deals with dimension and tolerances of atoms and molecules which are of the size less than 100 nanometres. The scope of nanotechnology in terms of information and communication technology is miniaturization method and long term tactics like Nano electronics, Nano systems in self establishing process. Due to development of Nano electronics, its application in military and superintelligence is rising. The future revolution in innovation is nanotechnology industry which will drasticallyalter the opportunity in areas of telecommunication, networking and computing. Few of them are nanomaterials in electrical and optical properties, mini memory and processors, controllers, micro-electro-mechanical systems etc. The challenges that it can face are variability, quality control, characterization, more research needs to be done and may be toxic to human kinds, they are not portable and power hungry. Though they have many problems, they have many plus points like nanotechnology is powerful, low cost, large monitor & hard drive, graphics intensive. It has wide use also in medicine, energy field, cosmetics and food industries and lots more. In comparison to other advanced and upcoming technologies I feel nanotechnology is more futuristic and ground-breaking. It has opening in funding, collaborations also.
