Intro to Emerging Technologies

• Emerging means becoming apparent or prominent.
• Emerging Technology - are technologies that are currently developing, the next five to ten years, and is usually reserved for technologies to create significant social or economic effects.
• Technology (Greek word "tekhnologia") is the systematic treatment of an art, or technique
• Evolution (Latin word is "evolutio") is the process of developing by gradual changes
• Top 10 Emerging Technologies according to CompTIA:

  10) Quantum Computing

  9) Blockchain

  8) Biometrics

  7) Drones

  6) 3D Printing

  5) 5G

  4) AR/VR

  3) Artificial Intelligence

  2.) Automation

  1)Internet of Things
• 1st Industrial Revolution (1IR) began in the 18th century through the use of steam power and mechanisation of production. First Steam Power happened in England, through their trains.
• 2nd Industrial Revolution (2IR) began in 19th century through the discovery of electricity and assembly line production.
• Henry Ford took the idea of mass production from a slaughterhouse in Chicago (USA)
• 3rd Industrial Revolution (3IR) began in the '70s through partial automation using memory-programmable controls and computers.
• 3IR introduced the transition from mechanical and analog electronic technology to digital electronics.
• 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) is characterised by the application of information and communication technologies to industry. Also known as "Industry 4.0".
• Cyber-Physical System is a mechanism that is controlled or monitored by computer-based algorithms, tightly integrated with the Internet and its users.
• Data is the "new oil" of the digital economy.
• Stages of AI (HMI)

  Stage 1 - Machine Learning (Siri, Alexa, Cortana)

  Stage 2 - Machine Intelligence ( our current technology)

  Stage 3 - Machine Consciousness
