Emerging Technology
- 3D Printing
- A process for making a physical object
from a three-dimensional digital model. It uses CAD/CAM software.
- It is made by laying down successive layers of a thin material to form a 3D product.
- It can be used to print aircraft parts, manufacturing prototypes and even human organs using human cells.
- Pros:
- Can go from prototype to product quickly
- Cheaper than labour/ workers
- More jobs/ Need skilled engineers to work printer.
- More jobs/ Need skilled engineers to work printer.

- Can go from prototype to product quickly
- Cons:
- High initial set up
- Limited materials available
- Fewer manufacturing jobs
- Limited size allowances
- Limited size allowances
- Fewer manufacturing jobs

- Artificial Intelligence
- The development of computer systems that are
capable of carrying out tasks that usually require
human intelligence to complete such as voice
recognition, speech recognition and decision-making.
- Pros:
- Can take on stressful/ mundane jobs so that humans
don't have to.
- Machines can completre the job quicker than humans
- Aiding of the visually, physically mentally impaired or people
with hearing disabilities.
- Fewer errors or defects
- Don't require breaks. Can work indefinitely.

- Cons:
- Lacks human touch/ impersonal
- Can malfunction
- People can lose their jobs.

- Vision Enhancement
- For car drivers:
- Active systems: uses infra red beams from small sensor.
They have a range of around 500 feet and are displayed at
the bottom of the windscreen so as not to obstruct the drivers
view.
- Passive systems: use thermal imaging and have a wider
range of up to 1000 feet. However there can be problems on
hot days

view.
- For car drivers:
- Virtual Reality
- The computer-generated simulation of a 3D reality that can be
interacted with in a seemingly real way by the user when equipped
with the necessary equipment
- Pros:
- Can be used to train students (ie. medical) without putting anyone in harms way
- Good for those who can't leave the house
- Used in the medical field to help stroke patients
- Used in the medical field to help stroke patients
- Good for those who can't leave the house
- Can be used to train students (ie. medical) without putting anyone in harms way
- Cons:
- Expensive equipment
- Technology is still new and experimental
- People live in the virtual world without dealing with the real one
- None of the same consequences of the real world training.

- 3D & Holographic Imaging
- Holography is the technique which allows 3D images to be
made from 2D images by using lasers.
- Gaining popularity in the gaming and film industry

- Quantum Cryptography
- Uses quantum physics as the basis
for encryption of computer messages,
rather than the traditional mathematical
approach.
