History is The Study of The Past in Relation to The

Present and The Future.

...what men have made, other men can understand

Giovanni Battista Vico

The overall theme is straightforward. In our ability to understand

and shape the world around us, we humans have been evolving in skill
and thinking, which has led to a recent acceleration in our numbers
and power. We quite understand a lot about how life began on Earth
and about the structure of life around us. Our population today is too
large for the planet to sustain for very long; but our technical abilities
give us at least a chance to get through it, just as we have survived
other challenges.

As we probably know by now, our ancestors were Hunter-Gatherers.

They would travel all over the five continents looking for prey and
escaping harsh weather: Spending their nights in caves, they would let
loose some of their creativity, of which we would get most of our
information. After a while, the climate changed which forced them to
think differently and try farming for their food. Before, they probably
would just eat the wild fruits and vegetables along the way, but
because they had to farm, they built homes. Then came villages,
towns, and cities. They also started keeping domestic animals.
Nowadays, we use different farming methods that have been tested
and are improve production with fewer mistakes. For example,
Dayspring Farming. Dayspring Farming operates based on the
principles of good, ecologically sustainable agriculture. Following this,
the farm uses compost and natural soil amendments for fertilization,
cover crops, natural pest control, and crop rotation. Dayspring farmers
regard building healthy soil as the foundation for responsible,
sustainable agriculture.

Soon after cities started to emerge, the first governments started to

appear. Whether by corruption or democracy, empires and nations
became a reality. Then came the Greeks who were the first to perfect
and sustain its empire. But how did they do it? Well, let us find out.

First, let us look at the cities that once made Greece the world
superpower It used to be.
There are about 10 or 11 major cities that made up Greece. I do not
know their names but some of the major cities include Athens and
Sicily. I want to talk about Athens. Athens is a major city in Greece.
Athens is also the capital city of Greece. It was also the center of trade
in Asia minor. And because of that, it makes it a perfect capital city.

At this point, each city had its governing systems. So how did they join
together and become the nation we call Greece today? Let us find out.
In 336 BC Philip II had already sent Parmenion, with Amyntas,
Andromenes and Attalus, and an army of 10,000 men into Anatolia to
prepare for an invasion to free the Greeks living on the western coast
and islands from Achaemenid rule. At first, all went well. The Greek
cities on the western coast of Anatolia revolted until the news arrived
that Philip had been murdered and had been succeeded by his young
son Alexander. The Macedonians were demoralized by Philip's death
and were subsequently defeated near Magnesia by the Achaemenids
under the command of the mercenary Memnon of Rhodes.

Taking over the invasion project of Philip II, Alexander's army crossed
the Hellespont in 334 BC with approximately 48,100 soldiers, 6,100
cavalries and a fleet of 120 ships with crews numbering 38,000 drawn
from Macedon and various Greek city-states, mercenaries, and feudally
raised soldiers from Thrace, Paionia, and Illyria. He showed his intent
to conquer the entirety of the Persian Empire by throwing a spear into
Asian soil and saying he accepted Asia as a gift from the gods. This
also showed Alexander's eagerness to fight, in contrast to his father's
preference for diplomacy.

After an initial victory against Persian forces at the Battle of the

Granicus, Alexander accepted the surrender of the Persian provincial
capital and treasury of Sardis; he then proceeded along the Ionian
coast, granting autonomy and democracy to the cities. Miletus, held by
Achaemenid forces, required a delicate siege operation, with Persian
naval forces nearby. Further south, at Halicarnassus, in Caria,
Alexander successfully waged his first large-scale siege, eventually
forcing his opponents, the mercenary captain Memnon of Rhodes and
the Persian satrap of Caria, Orontobates, to withdraw by sea.
Alexander left the government of Caria to a member of the
Hecatomnid dynasty, Ada, who adopted Alexander.

From Halicarnassus, Alexander proceeded into mountainous Lycia and

the Pamphylian plain, asserting control over all coastal cities to deny
the Persians naval bases. From Pamphylia, onwards the coast held no
major ports and Alexander moved inland. At Termessos, Alexander
humbled but did not storm the Pisidian city. At the ancient Phrygian
capital of Gordium, Alexander "undid" the hitherto unsolvable Gordian
Knot, a feat said to await the future "king of Asia". According to the
story, Alexander proclaimed that it did not matter how the knot was
undone and hacked it apart with his sword.

But what about China, what about the various ruling families. Well,
they are three major dynasties I am going to talk about: The Xia,
Shang, and Qing.

The Xia dynasty of China (from c. 2070 to c. 1600 BC) is the first
dynasty to be described in ancient historical records. The dynasty was
considered mythical by historians until scientific excavations found
early Bronze Age sites at Erlitou, Henan in 1959. With few clear records
matching the Shang oracle bones, it remains unclear whether these
sites are the remains of the Xia dynasty or another culture from the
same period. Excavations that overlap the alleged period of the Xia
indicate a type of culturally similar groupings of chiefdoms. Early
markings from this period found on pottery and shells are thought to
be ancestral to modern Chinese characters.
According to ancient records, the dynasty ended around 1600 BC
because of the Battle of Mingtiao.
Archaeological findings providing evidence for the existence of the
Shang dynasty, c. 1600–1046 BC, are divided into two sets. The first
set, from the earlier Shang period, comes from sources at Erligang,
Zhengzhou, and Shangcheng. The second set, from the later Shang or
Yin period, is at Anyang, in modern-day Henan, which has been
confirmed as the last of the Shang's nine capitals (c. 1300–1046 BC).
The findings at Anyang include the earliest written record of the
Chinese so far discovered: inscriptions of divination records in ancient
Chinese writing on the bones or shells of animals—the "oracle bones",
dating from around 1250 BC.

A series of thirty-one kings reigned over the Shang dynasty. During

their reign, according to the Records of the Grand Historian, the capital
city was moved six times. The final move was to Yin in around 1300 BC
which led to the dynasty's golden age. The term Yin dynasty has been
synonymous with the Shang dynasty in history, although it has lately
been used to refer specifically to the latter half of the Shang dynasty.

Chinese historians in later periods were accustomed to the notion of

one dynasty succeeding another, but the political situation in early
China was much more complicated. Hence, as some scholars of China
suggest, the Xia and the Shang can refer to political entities that
existed concurrently, just as the early Zhou existed at the same time
as the Shang.

Although written records found at Anyang confirm the existence of the

Shang dynasty, Western scholars are often hesitant to associate
settlements that are contemporaneous with the Anyang settlement
with the Shang dynasty. For example, archaeological findings at
Sanxingdui suggest a technologically advanced civilization culturally
unlike Anyang. The evidence is inconclusive in proving how far the
Shang realm extended from Anyang. The leading hypothesis is that
Anyang, ruled by the same Shang in the official history, coexisted and
traded with numerous other culturally diverse settlements in the area
that is now referred to as China proper.

The Qing dynasty (1644–1911) was the last imperial dynasty in China.
Founded by the Manchus, it was the second conquest dynasty to rule
the territory of China proper, and roughly doubled the territory
controlled by the Ming. The Manchus were formerly known as Jurchens,
residing in the northeastern part of the Ming territory outside the Great
Wall. The Qing dynasty set up the Eight Banners system that provided
the basic framework for the Qing military conquest. Li Zicheng's
peasant rebellion captured Beijing in 1644 and the Chongzhen
Emperor, the last Ming emperor, committed suicide. The Manchus
allied with the Ming general Wu Sangui to seize Beijing, which was
made the capital of the Qing dynasty. and then proceeded to subdue
the Ming remnants in the south. The decades of Manchu conquest
caused enormous loss of lives and the economic scale of China shrank
drastically. In total, the Qing conquest of the Ming (1618–1683) cost as
many as 25 million lives.[55] The early Manchu emperors combined
traditions of Central Asian rule with Confucian norms of the traditional
Chinese government and were considered a Chinese dynasty.

Over the next half-century, all areas previously under the Ming dynasty
were consolidated under the Qing. conquests in Central Asia in the
eighteenth century extended territorial control. Between 1673 and
1681, the Kangxi Emperor suppressed the Revolt of the Three
Feudatories, an uprising of three generals in Southern China who had
been denied hereditary rule of large fiefdoms granted by the previous
emperor. In 1683, the Qing staged an amphibious assault on southern
Taiwan, bringing down the rebel Kingdom of Tungning, which was
founded by the Ming loyalist Koxinga (Zheng Chenggong) in 1662 after
the fall of the Southern Ming, and had served as a base for continued
Ming resistance in Southern China. The Qing defeated the Russians at
Albazin, resulting in the Treaty of Nerchinsk.
By the end of the Qianlong Emperor's long reign in 1796, the Qing
Empire was at its zenith. The Qing ruled more than one-third of the
world's population and had the largest economy in the world. By area,
it was one of the largest empires ever.

In the summer of 1900, the Boxer Uprising opposed foreign influence

and murdered Chinese Christians and foreign missionaries. When
Boxers entered Beijing, the Qing government ordered all foreigners to
leave, but they and many Chinese Christians were besieged in the
foreign legations quarter. An Eight-Nation Alliance sent the Seymour
Expedition of Japanese, Russian, British, Italian, German, French,
American, and Austrian troops to relieve the siege, but they were
forced to retreat by Boxer and Qing troops at the Battle of Langfang.
After the Alliance's attack on the Dagu Forts, the court declared war on
the Alliance and authorized the Boxers to join with imperial armies.
After fierce fighting at Tientsin, the Alliance formed the second, much
larger Gaselee Expedition and finally reached Beijing; the Empress
Dowager evacuated to Xi'an. The Boxer Protocol ended the war,
exacting a tremendous indemnity.

The Qing court then instituted "New Policies" of administrative and

legal reform, including the abolition of the examination system. But
young officials, military officers, and students debated reform, perhaps
a constitutional monarchy, or the overthrow of the dynasty and the
creation of a republic. They were inspired by an emerging public
opinion formed by intellectuals such as Liang Qichao and the
revolutionary ideas of Sun Yat-sen. A localized military uprising, the
Wuchang Uprising, began on 10 October 1911, in Wuchang (Today part
of Wuhan), and soon spread. The Republic of China was proclaimed on
1 January 1912, ending 2,000 years of dynastic rule.

In 1949, Chairman Mao Zedong proclaimed the establishment of the

People's Republic of China: After a long time of war both inside and
outside its borders.
The PRC was shaped by a series of campaigns and five-year plans. The
economic and social plan known as the Great Leap Forward caused an
estimated 45 million deaths. Mao's government carried out mass
executions of landowners, instituted collectivization, and implemented
the Laogai camp system. Deaths from forced labor and other atrocities
resulted in millions losing their lives under Mao. In 1966 Mao and his
allies launched the Cultural Revolution, which continued until Mao's
death a decade later. The Cultural Revolution, motivated by power
struggles within the Party and a fear of the Soviet Union, led to a major
upheaval in Chinese society.
In 1972, at the peak of the Sino-Soviet split, Mao and Zhou Enlai met
US president Richard Nixon in Beijing to establish relations with the
United States. In the same year, the PRC was admitted to the United
Nations in place of the Republic of China, with permanent membership
of the Security Council.
A power struggle followed Mao's death in 1976. The Gang of Four was
arrested and blamed for the excesses of the Cultural Revolution,
marking the end of a turbulent political era in China. Deng Xiaoping
outmaneuvered Mao's anointed successor chairman Hua Guofeng, and
gradually emerged as the leader over the next few years.
Deng Xiaoping was the Paramount Leader of China from 1978 to 1992,
although he never became the head of the party or state, and his
influence within the Party led the country to significant economic
reforms. The Communist Party subsequently loosened governmental
control over citizens' personal lives and the communes were disbanded
with many peasants receiving multiple land leases, which greatly
increased incentives and agricultural production. Also, there were
many free-market areas opened. The most successful free market area
was Shenzhen. It is in Guangdong and the property tax-free area still
exists today. This turn of events marked China's transition from a
planned economy to a mixed economy with an increasingly open
market environment, a system termed by some as "market socialism",
and officially by the Communist Party of China as "Socialism with
Chinese characteristics". The PRC adopted its current constitution on 4
December 1982.

In 1989 the death of former general secretary Hu Yaobang helped to

spark the Tiananmen Square protests of that year, during which
students and others campaigned for several months, speaking out
against corruption and in favor of greater political reform, including
democratic rights and freedom of speech. However, they were
eventually put down on 4 June when PLA troops and vehicles entered
and forcibly cleared the square, with many fatalities. This event was
widely reported and brought worldwide condemnation and sanctions
against the government. A filmed incident involving the "tank man"
was seen worldwide.
CPC general secretary and PRC President Jiang Zemin and PRC Premier
Zhu Rongji, both former mayors of Shanghai, led post-Tiananmen PRC
in the 1990s. Under Jiang and Zhu's ten years of administration, the
PRC's economic performance pulled an estimated 150 million peasants
out of poverty and sustained an average annual gross domestic
product growth rate of 11.2%. The country formally joined the World
Trade Organization in 2001. By 1997 and 1999, former European
colonies of Hong Kong and Macau became special administrative
regions of China.
The economy of China has transitioned from a centrally-planned
system to a more market-oriented economy, which as of 2019 ranked
as the second largest in the world by nominal GDP and as of 2017 the
largest in the world by purchasing power parity. China has the world's
fastest-growing major economy, with growth rates averaging 6% over
30 years. As of 2018, China's private sector accounted for 60% of the
GDP; the private sector is also responsible for 80% of urban
employment and 90% of new jobs. According to the IMF, on a per
capita income basis, China ranked 73rd by GDP (PPP) per capita in
2019. China's GDP was $14.3 trillion (99 trillion Yuan) in 2019. The
country has natural resources with an estimated worth of $23 trillion,
90% of which are coal and rare earth metals. China also has the
world's largest total banking sector assets of around $40 trillion
(268.76 trillion CNY) with $27.39 trillion in total deposits. It has the
fourth-largest inward foreign direct investment and the eleventh-
largest outward foreign direct investment. China has the world's
second-highest number of billionaires with a total wealth of $996
billion. Of the world's 500 largest companies, 129 are headquartered in
China. It has the world's largest foreign-exchange reserves worth $3.1
trillion. Historically, China was one of the world's foremost economic
powers for most of the two millennia from the 1st until the 19th
century.

From about 1400 A.D. to 1800 A.D. marks great years of advancement
in how we travel the world.
In the European medieval period, navigation was considered part of
the set of seven mechanical arts, none of which were used for long
voyages across the open ocean. Polynesian navigation is probably the
earliest form of open-ocean navigation, it was based on memory and
observation recorded on scientific instruments like the Marshall Islands
Stick Charts of Ocean Swells. Early Pacific Polynesians used the motion
of stars, weather, the position of certain wildlife species, or the size of
waves to find the path from one island to another.

Maritime navigation using scientific instruments such as the mariner's

astrolabe first occurred in the Mediterranean during the Middle Ages.
Although land astrolabes were invented in the Hellenistic period and
existed in classical antiquity and the Islamic Golden Age, the oldest
record of a sea astrolabe is that of Majorcan astronomer Ramon Llull
dating from 1295. The perfecting of this navigation instrument is
attributed to Portuguese navigators during early Portuguese
discoveries in the Age of Discovery. The earliest known description of
how to make and use a sea astrolabe comes from Spanish
cosmographer Martín Cortés de Albacar's Arte de Navegar (The Art of
Navigation) published in 1551,[6] based on the principle of the
archipendulum used in constructing the Egyptian pyramids.

Open-seas navigation using the astrolabe and the compass started

during the Age of Discovery in the 15th century. The Portuguese began
systematically exploring the Atlantic coast of Africa from 1418, under
the sponsorship of Prince Henry. In 1488 Bartolomeu Dias reached the
Indian Ocean by this route. In 1492 the Spanish monarchs funded
Christopher Columbus's expedition to sail west to reach the Indies by
crossing the Atlantic, which resulted in the discovery of the Americas.
In 1498, a Portuguese expedition commanded by Vasco da Gama
reached India by sailing around Africa, opening direct trade with Asia.
Soon, the Portuguese sailed further eastward, to the Spice Islands in
1512, landing in China one year later.

The first circumnavigation of the earth was completed in 1522 with the
Magellan-Elcano expedition, a Spanish voyage of discovery led by
Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan and completed by Spanish
navigator Juan Sebastián Elcano after the former's death in the
Philippines in 1521. The fleet of seven ships sailed from Sanlúcar de
Barrameda in Southern Spain in 1519, crossed the Atlantic Ocean, and
after several stopovers rounded the southern tip of South America.
Some ships were lost, but the remaining fleet continued across the
Pacific making several discoveries including Guam and the Philippines.
By then, only two galleons were left from the original seven. The
Victoria led by Elcano sailed across the Indian Ocean and north along
the coast of Africa, to finally arrive in Spain in 1522, three years after
its departure. The Trinidad sailed east from the Philippines, trying to
find a maritime path back to the Americas, but was unsuccessful. The
eastward route across the Pacific, also known as the tornaviaje (return
trip) was only discovered forty years later, when Spanish
cosmographer Andrés de Urdaneta sailed from the Philippines, north to
parallel 39°, and hit the eastward Kuroshio Current which took its
galleon across the Pacific. He arrived in Acapulco on October 8, 1565.

Henry sponsored voyages, which was the usual practice in the Iberian
states of that time. The nearby port of Lagos provided a convenient
harbor from which these expeditions left. The voyages were made in
exceedingly small ships, mostly the caravel, a light, and maneuverable
vessel. The caravel used the lateen sail, the prevailing rig in Christian
Mediterranean navigation since late antiquity. Most of the voyages
sent out by Henry consisted of one or two ships that navigated by
following the coast, stopping at night to tie up along some shore.

During Prince Henry's time and after, the Spanish and Portuguese
navigators discovered and perfected the North Atlantic Volta do Mar
(the "turn of the sea" or "return from the sea"): the dependable pattern
of trade winds blowing largely from the east near the equator and the
returning westerlies in the mid-Atlantic. This was a major step in the
history of navigation, when an understanding of oceanic wind patterns
was crucial to Atlantic navigation, from Africa and the open ocean to
Europe, and enabled the main route between the New World and
Europe in the North Atlantic in future voyages of discovery. Although
the lateen sail allowed sailing upwind to some extent, it was worth
even major extensions of course to have a faster and calmer following
wind for most of a journey. Portuguese mariners who sailed south and
southwest towards the Canary Islands and West Africa would afterward
sail far to the northwest—that is, away from continental Portugal, and
seemingly in the wrong direction—before turning northeast near the
Azores islands and finally east to Europe to have largely following
winds for their full journey. Christopher Columbus used this on his
transatlantic voyages.

In 1891 radios, in the form of wireless telegraphs, began to appear on

ships at sea. In 1899 the R.F. Matthews was the first ship to use
wireless communication to request assistance at sea. Using radio for
determining direction was investigated by "Sir Oliver Lodge, of
England; Andre Blondel, of France; DeForest, Pickard; and Stone, of the
United States; and Bellini and Tosi, of Italy. "The Stone Radio &
Telegraph Company installed an early prototype radio direction finder
on the naval collier Lebanon in 1906. By 1904, time signals were being
sent to ships to allow navigators to check their chronometers. The U.S.
Navy Hydrographic Office was sending navigational warnings to ships
at sea by 1907.
Later developments included the placing of lighthouses and buoys
close to shore to act as marine signposts identifying ambiguous
features, highlighting hazards, and pointing to safe channels for ships
approaching some part of coast after a long sea voyage. In 1912 Nils
Gustaf Dalén was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his invention
of automatic valves designed to be used in combination with gas
accumulators in lighthouses.
1921 saw the installation of the first radio beacon. The prototype
shipborne radar system was installed on the USS Leary in April 1937.
On November 18, 1940, Mr. Alfred L. Loomis made the initial
suggestion for an electronic air navigation system which was later
developed into LORAN (long-range navigation system) by the Radiation
Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and on
November 1, 1942, the first LORAN System was placed in operation
with four stations between the Chesapeake Capes and Nova Scotia. A
1943 United States military map of world ocean currents and ice packs,
as they were known at the time.
In October 1957, the Soviet Union launched the world's first artificial
satellite, Sputnik. Scientists at Johns Hopkins University's Applied
Physics Laboratory took a series of measurements of Sputnik's doppler
shift yielding the satellite's position and velocity. This team continued
to monitor Sputnik and the next satellites into space, Sputnik II and
Explorer I. In March 1958, the idea of working backward, using known
satellite orbits to determine an unknown position on the Earth's surface
began to be explored. This led to the TRANSIT satellite navigation
system. The first TRANSIT satellite was placed in polar orbit in 1960.
The system, consisting of 7 satellites, was made operational in 1962. A
navigator using readings from three satellites could expect an
accuracy of about 80 feet.

On July 14, 1974, the prototype Navstar GPS satellite was put into
orbit, but its clocks failed shortly after launch. The Navigational
Technology Satellite 2, redesigned with cesium clocks, started to go
into orbit on June 23, 1977. By 1985, the first 11-satellite GPS Block I
constellation was in orbit. Satellites of the similar Russian GLONASS
system began to be put into orbit in 1982, and the system is expected
to have a complete 24-satellite constellation in place by 2010. The
European Space Agency expects to have its Galileo with 30 satellites in
place by 2011/12 as well.
And in the future, we might be going to the moon for the holidays.
Thanks to SpaceX, they announced plans to send two space tourists
around the Moon next year. The audacious, week-long flight would
take place using a Falcon Heavy rocket and Crew Dragon spacecraft
and be the first-time humans have been beyond low-Earth orbit since
1972.

All this is thanks to the advances in technology.

The distinction between science, engineering, and technology is not
always clear. Science is a systematic knowledge of the physical or
material world gained through observation and experimentation.
Technologies are not usually exclusively products of science, because
they must satisfy requirements such as utility, usability, and safety.

Engineering is the goal-oriented process of designing and making tools

and systems to exploit natural phenomena for practical human means,
often (but not always) using results and techniques from science. The
development of technology may draw upon many fields of knowledge,
including scientific, engineering, mathematical, linguistic, and
historical knowledge, to achieve some practical result.

Technology is often a consequence of science and engineering,

although technology as a human activity precedes the two fields. For
example, science might study the flow of electrons in electrical
conductors by using already-existing tools and knowledge. This new-
found knowledge may then be used by engineers to create new tools
and machines such as semiconductors, computers, and other forms of
advanced technology. In this sense, scientists and engineers may both
be considered technologists; the three fields are often considered as
one for research and reference.

The exact relations between science and technology, in particular,

have been debated by scientists, historians, and policymakers in the
late 20th century, in part because the debate can inform the funding of
basic and applied science. In the immediate wake of World War II, for
example, it was widely considered in the United States that technology
was simply "applied science" and that to fund basic science was to
reap technological results in due time. An articulation of this
philosophy could be found explicitly in Vannevar Bush's treatise on
postwar science policy, Science – The Endless Frontier: "New products,
new industries, and more jobs require continuous additions to
knowledge of the laws of nature. This essential new knowledge can be
obtained only through basic scientific research. In the late-1960s,
however, this view came under direct attack, leading towards
initiatives to fund science for specific tasks (initiatives resisted by the
scientific community).
The 20th century brought a host of innovations. Computers were
invented and later miniaturized using transistors and integrated
circuits. Information technology subsequently led to the birth in the
1980s of the Internet, which ushered in the current Information Age.
Humans started to explore space with satellites and in manned
missions going all the way to the moon. In medicine, this era brought
innovations such as open-heart surgery and later stem cell therapy
along with new medications and treatments. In physics, the discovery
of nuclear fission has led to both nuclear weapons and nuclear power.

Complex manufacturing and construction techniques and organizations

are needed to make and maintain some of the newer technologies, and
entire industries have arisen to support and develop succeeding
generations of increasingly more complex tools. Modern technology
increasingly relies on training and education – their designers, builders,
maintainers, and users often require sophisticated general and specific
training. Moreover, these technologies have become so complex that
entire fields have developed to support them, including engineering,
medicine, and computer science; and other fields have become more
complex, such as construction, transportation, and architecture.
The future of technology has already started with 5g communications
and AI technology. 5G is the 5th generation mobile network. It is a new
global wireless standard after 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G networks..5G
wireless technology is meant to deliver higher multi-Gbps peak data
speeds, ultra-low latency, more reliability, massive network capacity,
increased availability, and more uniform user experience to more
users. Higher performance and improved efficiency empower new user
experiences and connect new industries. 5G enables a new kind of
network that is designed to connect virtually everyone and everything
including machines, objects, and devices.
If we disregard the environmental damage that AI and Robotics could
cause considering the heavy resource requirement it has, let us think
about what it actually could do. Phone companies and
telecommunications tout the amazing new things you can do with your
phone should you be able to ‘up your speed’ or bring it to the next
level. However, truth be told what would you do? Not much more than
before. Streaming is already working rather well, and you can play
candy crush, etc. Yet we did not imagine what we would be doing with
this type of speed or connectivity before it arrived. Everyone, or most
people, sitting with their eyes glued to a phone on public
transportation. The public spaces filled with people that are somehow
cluelessly walking with their phones stretched out in front of them to
navigate, read, play, or socialize on the go. Beyond your immediate
use, there are several use cases in the industry we should be aware of.
One certain thing is that this type of technology may enable robotics in
a different way and ‘intelligent’ robots to operate within a broader
environment. We can immediately consider the extended adverse use
of this for defense purposes and monitoring a population. However on
the other hand within hospitals and health technology this may enable
a different working environment or follow-up by technological
inventions.
Running solutions related to the field of artificial intelligence is done
externally already so will you truly notice a difference? If the video,
text, or other expression/input is transferred to a different place —
then what is the difference for users. It can be challenging to see how
this would help, and AI use-cases were mentioned in a previous article.
Using machine learning techniques in the 5G network to improve the
utility in the radio spectrum which is allocated.
From this, we see that the future holds much for us but we mustn’t
forget our past. We must also learn and improve on our mistakes for us
to be able to move forward. But if we do otherwise, we will be stuck in
a cycle that is harmful to the advances in technology.
