Overview of New Technological Development

A. How technology changed the world

1. Technology changed the education system Education and learning approaches were changed by the
technology the first time IBM was introduced as the first personal computer back in 1981. People knew
from the start that technologies will grow vastly because of how technology progresses, and also
because of people's dissatisfaction in the advancement of technology. Some of the best schools were
built but unfortunately, these institutes were far-flung from the homes of some and that was not
motivating in some ways. So because of that, technology once again found an answer and that is to
provide online schools. Anyone nowadays can have a degree online just by operating his/her computers
with internet

2. Technology changed the methods of communicating. Technology today has created many various
types of application in terms of doing communication online. Before technology era began in the 8th
century, letters and written emails were the first kind of communication. In 1897, radios for
communicating were invented and in 1916 were the first and longest time-consumed radio broadcast.
Today, radios are no longer used by majority of people due to the popularity of mobile phones,
computers and even a video conferencing tools. The advantage of doing the communication online is
that it is constant and fast, and also easy and known as the quickest way of communication. In the past,
a hand written letter takes up to a span of ten days to get hold of information written inside the letter.
Social media nowadays are the most ranked tool for communicating and interacting because of its many
benefits.

3. Technology changed people's health There are both positive and negative effects of technology in the
health of the people. These days, health care services and technologies used in checkups are more
developed than the previous generations. But the reason due to the inventions of these is also because
of the thought that people are abusing the use of technology in their daily lives.

B. What are the new technological developments?

1. Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence or known as Al is the replication of machine's intellect and a human intelligence.
Some part or applications of an Al includes its expertise on systems, speech recognition and its very own
machine vision. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has two categorization either weak or strong. An Al which is
categorized as weak is called the narrow Al and its system is intended and qualified when it comes to an
actual task. An example of this is the Apple's voice named Siri A strong Al on the other hand, is called the
artificial general intelligence. It is capable of reacting upon human cognitive abilities and it is strong
enough to discover a solution without the intervention of humans.
2. 3D Printing

is correspondingly known as additive manufacturing because in 3D does not let it eliminate materials, in
fact it adds more of it sheet after sheet. But for you to print 3D object, it has to have a 3D model of a
certain object to be able for the 3D printer to project the exact result of it.

3. Google Glass

Augmented reality or also known as AR has made its way to be included in the lives of people in term of
virtual experience and even education itself. Users can download applications to it and can now view
feeds on social media, text messages, and maps that can navigate the actual location of the user using
GPS.

4. Oculus Rift Games

nowadays have stepped up with Virtual Reality with the help of the Oculus Rift. This 3D headset will
make the users feel the impression of being inside the own video game itself. In the virtual world of the
Rift, with ultra-low latency, you could turn your head around to sight the inside world of the game in a
high-resolution display.

C. How much has technology changed over the time?

It is clear as day how technology has evolved. From building fire for light to light bulbs to telegrams to
online communications platforms, technology has changed a lot over the time.

1. Communications

During the old days, you had to send a letter or a telegram to communicate with someone miles away
from you. This may take days and days before it arrives at your doorstep. For checking, you had to trace
where the letter had been sent and if the opposite or correct person received it. Errors such as the
letters getting in the hands of the incorrect receiver or messages getting lost are not rare as well. But
with today's technology, it has been made easier. To communicate with someone, all you need is a cell
phone or a computer to send them a message. There are a lot platforms and options to communicate
with someone far away these days. You can always go for your "classic" way of calling via telephone or
you can use your cellular phones to give them a call or send a message via SMS. Now, you can use social
media for means of communication. There is a large variety of options you can choose from, ranging
from Facebook to Twitter to Skype to Viber. They have become a part of our everyday lives and in all
honesty, they might not be gone in a very long time. Whether that person is beside you, blocks away, or
even miles and oceans away, your message will be delivered at the same rate and speed (of course, still
depending on your internet connection) It is amazing how you can send a voice message or a text
message that can be delivered in nanoseconds.

2. Bills Payments and Money Transfer The bank is a revolutionary advancement.

Who knew we would go from trading cows and shells to having paper money and coins. Money storage
and control has been made easier because of this. However, with the continuous progress and
advancement of technology, you don't even have to go to the bank to pay your bills or send and receive
money. With a simple tap from your fingertips, you can already do it on your smart phones. Countless
banks are already making online transactions possible due to its hassle-free benefit. There are heaps of
companies, such as Paypal and Paymaya, created platforms wherein people can send and receive money
from anybody from any part of the world with the usage of the internet. You can even use yoursmart
phones for payment in physical stores so that you won't have to carry cash anymore.

3. Entertainment Smartphones have taken over the world.

There are about two (2) million smartphones being sold every day. Connected to smartphones is social
media which has vastly grew over the past few years. It has helped a lot of people from across the globe
not just for entertainment purpose but gave them accessible information as well. There are nearly 3.2
billion people who use the internet actively. That is practically half of the earth's population. It is almost
impossible for someone not to be on the internet. Even four-year old nowadays have access to internet
and can already navigate and use computers, phones or tablets. There are even people getting obsessed
over social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. There are countless consoles for you to
play your games and countless platforms for you to watch your favorite movies. Consoles such as PS4
and Xbox are the most famous platforms for gaming as well as personal computers. It has been so
famous that it is already considered a sport called e-sports, a form of competition using video games.

D. New technologies that could change the world.

It is crazy, even almost unbelievable, how much technology changed the world. Now, there's cure for
different illness unlike before. There are more innovative drainages, machines and transportation these
days.

1. Agricultural Drones

With the help of technology, farmers begin to use drones with cameras attached to them to improve
how they treat their crops. The drone allows the farmers to have a different perspective compared to
the previous satellite used. They only not help revel irrigation treatment issues and soil variation but
distressed plants as well. The agricultural drone has been made possible with the usage of GPS, digital
radios and small MEMS sensors.

2. Ultra private Smartphones.

The concern over privacy grows and grows as countless hackers make their way into other people's
devices. However, a Maryland based company, Silent Circles, now encrypts their client's text messages
or they have sent. Encryption protects metadata by preventing hackers or crackers from accessing the
device. The company, Silent Circle, even has plans to create a smartphone called Blackphone. It will use
encryption that is currently being used by the company.

3. Brain Mapping
Neuroscientists have worked decades of decades just to understand how the brain works. Human Brain
Project, an international team of researchers, has created a three dimensional atlas of the brain. With its
map revolution fifty times better than the previous efforts, the creators digitally stitched thousands of
brain cross-sections.

4. Genome Editing

Researchers in China have made a big technological advancement by creating a pair of monkeys with the
usage of genetic mutations. They used CRISPR, a new method of DNA engineers. This will allow you to
modify fertilize eggs. CRISPR has the potential to help researchers and doctors to study ailments such as
autism and Alzheimer's by identifying genetic mutations.

5. Micro-scale 3D Printing

Before you can only print on different types of paper, now you can print in 3D. Today, plastic is the only
way to use 3D Printing. However, researchers from Harvard University led by Jennifer Lewis, developed
a new ink based 3D printer. As time comes and technology will continue to develop, new inks will enable
to create artificial organs
