Will technology take over the world?

 1. Artificial intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the science of making computers think just like humans. AI is already being used today in many ways and will continue to evolve rapidly. There are two types of AI: narrow AI and general AI. Narrow AI is what we use everyday and includes things like search engines, self-driving cars, and speech recognition software. General AI would allow machines to think and learn like humans do.

2. Robotics

Robotics is the science of building robots. Robots are automated devices that perform specific tasks based on preprogrammed instructions. In recent years, robotics has become increasingly popular among inventors and engineers. Today, robots are commonly used in manufacturing facilities to automate repetitive tasks. Many people believe that in the future, robots will completely replace human workers.

3. Biotechnology

Biotechnology is the study of biology and how it affects our lives. As technology advances, scientists are able to apply their knowledge of biology to create products that were previously impossible. One example is the creation of genetically modified organisms, or GMOs. These foods have been engineered to contain traits that could not occur naturally. Other examples include using genetic engineering to produce pharmaceutical drugs and biofuels.

4. Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on an atomic scale. Scientists are working hard to develop nanotechnologies to improve healthcare, increase computer processing speed, make electronics smaller, and solve environmental problems.

 5. Quantum computing     

Quantum computing is the science of harnessing quantum phenomena to build faster computers. A major benefit of quantum computing is its potential to vastly exceed the performance of current supercomputers.

6. Brain–computer interface

A brain–computer interface (BCI) is a device that connects the human brain directly to a machine. BCIs are currently being developed to help those who are paralyzed due to spinal cord injuries or neurological disorders control wheelchairs, robotic arms, and even entire limbs.

7. Synthetic biology

Synthetic Biology is the design and construction of novel DNA sequences and gene networks that cannot exist in nature.

 

Technology’s potential to rule the globe

 1. Internet

The internet is a global network of computers that transfers data between them via various protocols. The internet was invented in 1969 at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) by Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn while working for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The first website was created by UCLA students in 1971. In 1980, the National Science Foundation (NSF) funded the creation of the world wide web (WWW), which allowed users to access information from different websites. Today, the internet is a major source of information and communication worldwide. The internet is accessible in over 100 countries and is free to use for anyone who has access to an internet connection.

 2. Television

Television is a visual medium that transmits images and sounds to viewers using electromagnetic radiation. Television signals were originally transmitted wirelessly using radio waves until the late 1940s, when television sets began to receive signals broadcast from stations. In the early days of television, only three channels were available; however, today, there are hundreds of channels available. Television is now commonly used around the world to deliver news, sports, entertainment, educational programs, and other content.

3. Cell Phone

Cell phones have become a necessity in modern society. Most people carry their phone everywhere they go, and many people keep their phone with them at all times. There are currently about 5 billion active mobile subscriptions worldwide, and this number is expected to reach 6 billion by 2020. People use their cell phones to make calls, send text messages, play games, listen to music, view videos, take pictures, read books, surf the internet, check email, etc.

4. Social Media

Social media is a type of online platform where individuals share ideas, activities, events, and opinions with others. The term social media encompasses several types of websites including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, Tumblr, Reddit, LinkedIn, and blogs. These platforms allow individuals to connect with friends and family members, look up local businesses, learn about cultural trends, post selfies, watch videos, and find jobs.

5. Smartphones

A smartphone is a handheld device that combines a cellular telephone with advanced computing capabilities. Smartphones are portable devices that fit in a pocket or purse and are often referred to as smartphones. A smartphone uses a touchscreen display and runs on a mobile operating system such as Android, iOS, or Windows OS. Many smartphones feature a camera lens, GPS receiver, accelerometer, compass, proximity sensor, speakerphone, vibrator, flash, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, microSD card slot, FM radio, and USB port.

6. Computers

Computers are electronic devices that store data and provide computational power. Computers range from small desktop units to giant supercomputers. Modern computers use a central processing unit (CPU) to perform computations. The CPU consists of hardware logic gates and registers, and executes instructions stored in memory. The earliest CPUs were made of vacuum tubes, transistors, and resistors. Later, integrated circuits were developed that contained thousands of transistors on a single chip. In recent years, multi-core processors have been introduced that utilize two or more processor

7. Tablet

A tablet is a portable touchscreen computing device. Tablets are similar to laptops except they do not need to plugged into a power source. Most tablets run on batteries. Batteries last longer than traditional laptop batteries. Tablets are often used for reading books, playing games, watching videos, listening to music, surfing the web, taking notes, drawing,
