The needs of humans by the seconds increase to align with our daily thoughts, and with each new invention, comes the need for the development of others. With each passing day, we discover new problems, some of which we never thought we had, or could have and as an insatiable species we are, the perfect solution is what brings about innovation.
Technology in definition is the application of science and knowledge to solve these problems. Over the years, technology has revolutionized our perspective of the world. Technology has created amazing tools and resources, putting each person’s most useful information at their fingertips.
Modern technology has had an impressive influence on communication in the 21st century and daily life in general. The cutting edge technology of mobile phones has allowed people to talk to each other using voice, video, and text. With the advancement of holograms and Virtual reality, we could be in front of our friends, who lives 20000 miles away without moving from our desk. Just so that everyone could be carried along despite his or her physical disabilities, a company like Feeling empowers the blind and visually impaired to easily access information in digital form. This is through special phones and tablets they have created just for them, which has the components and functions as a normal phone.
Subsequently, 3D printing has come to change the rules of global manufacturing. 3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. It enables one to produce complex (functional) shapes using less material than traditional manufacturing methods. With 3D printing, three-dimensional solids are created from the digital models. Using this new technique, manufacturing becomes easy, effective, and quick when compared to traditional manufacturing techniques.
In medicine, doctors are already producing made-to-order body parts. To get started, doctors scrape cells off the body part in the question and grow them in a petri dish. In time, the body part grows strong enough that it can be implanted inside the patient. Regenerative medicine, though it may sound like science fiction, provides patients with lifesaving organ replacements when the need arises. And as such, gives hope to a patient who has suffered from burnt, been a victim of a gas explosion or been exposed to acid or a fatal accident that results in loss of body parts.
Practically speaking, Organovo, a research company in California, United States, designs and develops functional, three-dimensional human tissue for medical research and has developed a printer capable of 3D printing body parts. That is the extent to which technology has evolved.
Apart from Regenerative medicine, technology has brought about Digital Imaging which could be used for diagnosing the patient’s condition.
Digital Image processing is modern and advances technology which process on the photos or images or video potage. Its advantages are an important aspect of human life. nowadays x-rays are the main important application of Digital Image processing. Before x-rays came to being, it was very difficult to examine human bone because the doctor has to cut the body’s skin and flesh to know about the bone of the body whether it is crack or damaged or not.
The world can be seen as never before with the help of Digital Imaging. Drone surveillance would help in improving the quality of safety. In medical science, imagining technology will help the doctors to diagnose the disease more effectively. Another usefulness of DIP is the automatic doors in some buildings or cash and carry centers, which open automatically when someone wants to pass by that door, a DIP machine is fixed in the door and a special card design for it can open it by showing or slotting in that card. Microwave and infrared are also useful and famous applications of Digital Image processing.
Technology has also brought about Automated, or better put, Driverless vehicles. These vehicles have the potential to provide significant road safety, economic, environmental, and social benefits, including improved social inclusion.
This technology is going to help those who don’t know how to drive. With artificial intelligence controlling the vehicles, there is no need for a human counterpart to assist in road safety. This would cause lower accident rates and help in ensuring safety.
Talking about Artificial intelligence, Automation is a great deal that has made human lives easier. Manual labor is replaced by machines that allow quicker tasks with minimal energy spent. However, artificial intelligence takes a step forward in the realm of the future. With artificial intelligence, humans have been able to take a back seat and enjoy machines do all the tasks work without guidance.
The Educational sector is not left out, as technology has already brought about E-Education, which has overtime enabled effective learning and impartation of knowledge to everyone. The use of audio and visual tools that enhances Digital learning and facilitate retention of information has been a good factor enabling people to adapt easily to this method of learning.
A person can stay in the comfort of his home to gain a recognized College degree in any part of the world courtesy of Web-based Education, owing to the fact that a greater percentage of the world’s population has access to either a smartphone, tablets, and PC and this makes it much easier to gain access to digital literacy.
Technology has changed the world in so many amazing ways. Although there have been some negative effects of it, moreover, it has been overshadowed by the great positive impact and giant leap it has brought to mankind.
