Emerging Technolgies : What NExT ?
September 27, 2006
Emergence is the process of complex pattern formation from more basic constituent parts or behaviors and The expression emerging technologies is used to cover such new and potentially powerful technologies which create hope for betterment of our future.
Researchers across the world coin new acronym when they talk about emerging technologies.Some of the acronyms are as follows :
NBIC : Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, Information technology, and Cognitive science
GNR : Genetics, Nanotechnology and Robotics
GRAIN : Genetics, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Nanotechnology
BANG : Bits, Atoms, Neurons, Genes
GRIN : Genetic, Robotic, Information, and Nano processes
You will come across more such acronyms in future but bottom line is same by all:
“Next big thing is a mash up of technologies.”
Lets put thoughts together,whats possible by technology mash up?
(1) Nanoparticles
Couple health parameters with these tiny sensors : Detect,diagnose and treat using MEMS.
(2) Genetic Computer
Use nature’s design to solve complex computational problems.
(3) Artificial Brain : Matrix in reality
Some real fight between Neo and Agent Smith.huuh?not impossible …
(4) Sensible Network
Network of machines,which can sense your presence and work accordingly.Our loyal worker.
(5) Artificial organs
100 m world record in Olympics : Few micro seconds.
Lets mash up technologies for best future.
Stay tuned ! More exploration in future posts…..
