SEVEN TECHNOLOGIES REMAKING THE WORLD

SEVEN TECHNOLOGIES REMAKING THE WORLD

1. Today we are at the starting line of a universal technological revolution. Is altering four key realms of our world: commerce, health care, learning, and the environment.

2. Seven classes of technology that are driving today’s universal revolution: pervasive computing, wireless mesh networks, biotechnology, 3D printing, machine learning, nanotechnology, and robotics.

3. Each of these technology classes exhibits three distinctive and rapidly evolving capabilities that are significantly different, more advanced, and larger in scope than the technologies of past revolutions.

4. Intelligence: the ability to sense or predict an environment or situation and act on that knowledge.

5. Natural interface: the ability to align with the actions, traits, and intuitive schemes of humans, as well as the physics of nature.

6. Ubiquity: the ability to be omnipresent in previously discrete transactions, objects, machines, and people.

7. PERVASIVE COMPUTING, also known as ubiquitous computing, delivers information, media, context, and processing power to us, wherever we are.Pervasive computing is reforging established chains of business logic.

8. WIRELESS MESH NETWORKS, Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are ad hoc loops of wireless connectivity in which only one device requires an internet connection.

9. Because WMNs alter the very definition of connectivity, they also will prompt a strategic reconsideration of the investment in and deployment of network infrastructure.

10. BIOTECHNOLOGY is the use of living systems and organisms to develop or make products. The continuing development of the CRISPR-Cas system is a notable example. It enables geneticists and medical researchers to edit genes, bringing us closer to the day when Huntington’s, sickle cell, breast cancer, and many other genetic diseases

11. In commerce, biotechnology is the basis for a new form of authentication: bio-identification, also known as biometrics.

12. 3D PRINTING is a revolution built on chemistry that is being amplified by continually evolving capabilities in digital and machine technologies.

13. 3D printing will transform the realm of commerce. Customers will become intimately involved in product design and finished goods manufacturing. Value will shift from finished goods to the digital representations of goods.

14. MACHINE LEARNING, Today, there are three principle technologies that when bundled together unlock key aspects of each perspective: cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence. Data and the ability to access, organize, interpret, and distribute it is the lifeblood of the modern company.

15. Big data and analytics are rapidly eclipsing other sources of value in the realm of commerce. Businesses have used data to build profiles of buying habits, prices, and other retail contexts

16. NANOTECHNOLOGY, which encompasses molecular engineering, is a new and radical engineering science that is designing and manufacturing incredibly. With nanotechnology, all sorts of media and materials that have had no information processing and delivery capabilities can become new portals of commerce and communication.

17. ROBOTICS, Bridging the disciplines of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science, robotics is the design and development of mechanical systems. robotics has undergone a radical transformation driven by three traits: Precision, Agility and Intelligence.

18. Robots are an essential element in the new workforce, where they assist employees with a wide range of operational, service, and managerial tasks. In the realm of commerce, robots are assembling increasingly complex products and augmenting human performance.
