New Technology to Be Excited About

It's no exaggeration to say we are on the verge of technological and scientific progress that will change how we live.

A well renowned Dr. characterizes this technological change as moving out of the "age of discovery" into the "age of command," a new phase in our history where we will be able to exploit our technology and control our destinies.

The study, known as "Disruptive Technologies: Advances that will transform life, business, and the international market," identified the technologies that matter most to the global market, sustainability, and enhancing the human condition.

The electronic era and The Internet of Things

We have come a long way in the clumsy, slow PCs of the 70s to Google Glass and paper-thin mobile devices. We're now in the footstep of quantum computing at the cloud using flexible and wearable electronics. Cisco, which termed the "The Web of Everything," forecasts that 50 billion apparatus, such as our smart phones, appliances, and office equipment,a doorbell camera will be wirelessly connected with a network of sensors to the Web by 2020.

Together with computing comes intelligence. Human/computer interface will expand our human mind capabilities, memories, and capacities. At a conference this past year on how the world will look in 2045, Google futurist Ray Kurzweil stated that humanity will"expand the scope of our intellect a billion-fold" and the power of computing evolves, on average, every 2 decades.

McKinsey predicts a 5 to 7 trillion possible financial effect by 2025 from automation of knowledge work by smart software systems. We might also have intelligent personal assistants, possibly even in holographic forms in some type of augmented reality.

There's already. New innovative technologies for data mining and predictive analytics will be utilised in most informatics aspects of our lives as consumers, patients, and personnel.

Substantial data analytics has the potential to improve health by identifying the very best pathways in administration and treatments of individual medicines, in addition to predicting the spread of this flu. The mathematical software used in analyzing large data sets can be used to predict social change at nearly every level of human interaction.

Perhaps health and medication is the most deep area of technological innovation. Quite a few breakthroughs in genomics anti-aging remedies will expand our wellbeing and quality of life. Recently, Harvard Medical School Researcher of Genetics David Sinclair published findings about one anti-aging enzyme in the body, known clinically as SIRT1, that could prevent ailments like cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes. Biologists recently extended the life span of mice by up to 70 percent through rejuvenation experiments.

The medical community will have the ability to implant devices like bionic eyes and bionic kidneys or artificially grown and regenerated individual organs. The world's first bionic eye, a retinal implant that helps restore vision to patients blinded with a degenerative eye disorder, was recently approved by the FDA and will shortly be in the marketplace.

There are a few early stage prototypes of artificial vital organs like artificial hearts, kidneys, liver, lungs, liver, and pancreas.
