About Emerging Technologies

GoConqr Original

What this page covers

This unit sits in the Security, Safety, Ethics and Society strand of Computing and ICT. The listed resources look at technologies that are changing how people live and work. Topics include 3D printing, artificial intelligence, vision enhancement, virtual reality, quantum cryptography, smart cities, blockchain and the Internet of Things.

Mind maps make up most of the page. Flashcards, a handful of quizzes, notes, flowcharts and slide sets add other ways in.

Where to start

Begin with the mind map Emerging trends. It links artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, immersive experiences, robotics and big data in one view. Next, open A2 IT Emerging Technologies, which looks at how technology affects our lifestyle, including longer working hours and the expectation of always being available.

Then pick a theme and follow it through:

  • Ubiquitous computing: several maps explain how processors can be embedded in clothing, appliances, vehicles and buildings.
  • Blockchain: the flashcard deck Blockchain Engineering covers forks and how updates stay compatible.
  • Quantum computing: the map Quantum cicruits goes through one-bit gates and controlled gates, and Qubits is a shorter way in.
  • Internet of Things: the quiz on the Internet of Things asks you to fill in blanks about connecting devices and physical objects.

Using quizzes and maps together

  1. Read a mind map slowly and say each branch aloud in your own words.
  2. Take a quiz on the same theme without looking back.
  3. Note the questions you missed and return to the matching branch.
  4. Use flashcards for terms that keep slipping, such as the types of fork in a blockchain.

Some resources are in Spanish, such as the slide set on virtual reality and several flowcharts on digital transformation in Colombian enterprises. They are useful if you read both languages.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the mind map Emerging trends. It lays out artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, virtual and augmented reality, robotics and big data in one place. After that, the A2 IT Emerging Technologies mind map shows how these technologies affect daily life and work.

Which topics have the most variety?

Ubiquitous computing, blockchain, quantum computing, virtual reality and the Internet of Things each appear in several formats. You will find mind maps, flashcard decks and notes for most of them. Some also have quizzes, so you can test yourself after reading.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you create your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

Who are these resources for?

The page mixes levels. Most resources suit university students, with a good share for school students. Teachers can use the ready-made maps, flashcards and quizzes in lessons or as extra practice. The topics range from basic definitions to technical ideas like quantum gates.

What do the quizzes cover?

The quizzes are a small set. Several focus on the Internet of Things, others on blockchain, and one is titled Emerging Technologies. They work best after you have read a related mind map, because they show which ideas you can recall and which need another look.

What if my topic is not listed?

Try the broader mind maps such as Emerging Trends or Current Technology Trends, which touch on many technologies at once. You can also build your own mind map or flashcards for the missing topic, using the listed resources as a model for how to structure it.
