Synopsis Notes for "Emerging Technology"

Definition

 Emerging technology refers to new or evolved technologies that enhance productivity,


accessibility, and daily life.

Progression of Technology

 Landlines: Invented by Alexander Graham Bell (1876).


 Telephone: Developed in 1965 by Bell Labs.
 Mobile Phones: Introduced in 1980.
 Smartphones: First introduced by IBM in 1990 (Simon smartphone).
 Computer Processors:
o 1st Generation by Intel in 2010.
o 12th Generation in 2021 (faster and superior).

Key Technologies

1. Biometrics:
o Measures unique physical features (e.g., fingerprints, iris recognition).
o Used for identity verification in homes, offices, and high-security areas.
2. Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT):
o Software for translating text or speech.
o Saves translations for future use (e.g., Google Translate).
3. Open Source Software:
o Software available for public use, modification, and distribution.
o Examples: Linux (OS), Mozilla Firefox (browser).
4. Robotics:
o Combines engineering, technology, and computer science.
o Functions:
 Perform tasks autonomously or semi-autonomously.
 Applications in disaster management, underwater research, etc.
o Types of Robots:
 Pre-Programmed Robots: Perform specific, repetitive tasks (e.g.,
mechanical arms).
 Humanoid Robots: Mimic human appearance and behavior.
 Autonomous Robots: Operate independently (e.g., NASA Mars
Rover).
 Teleoperated Robots: Controlled remotely (e.g., drones).
 Augmenting Robots: Enhance or replace human capabilities (e.g.,
prosthetic limbs).
5. Artificial Intelligence (AI):
o Machine's ability to learn and think without explicit programming.
o Applications: Self-driving cars, error reduction in tasks.
o AI learns from past data to perform tasks independently.
6. 3D Printing:
o Creates 3D objects layer by layer from digital files.
o Applications in manufacturing and product prototyping.
7. Virtual Reality (VR):
o Simulates a real environment using software and devices like VR headsets.
o Applications: Gaming, education, and training.
8. Augmented Reality (AR):
o Combines real-world elements with computer-generated images or animations.
o Examples: Pokémon Go, Google Sky Map.
9. 3D Holograms:
o Three-dimensional images created using photographic projections.
o Applications in product presentations and entertainment.

Computer System Ports

 Internal Ports: Connect motherboard to internal devices (e.g., hard drive).


 External Ports: Connect motherboard to external devices (e.g., USB, printer).
 Types of Ports:
o USB, USB-C, HDMI, SATA, PCI Express slots.
