5 new Technology that could change the world Technology is simply making modification, usage and knowledge of tools, machines techniques, system and methods of organization, in order to solve the problem, improving the pre-existing solution to a problem and achieve goal. Technology is simply the essence of life. It the inevitable part of one’s life.Each and every moments and activities in our life is guided and supported by the technology. For instance the communication medium such as mobile phones, social networking site, emails, and various facilities such as ecommerce, e-banking and the list goes on. Since 2001, the MIT Technology Review has released their list of the 10 most important technological innovations that emerged each year. The list was created by selecting each items based in its potential to change the world. Last year (2013) technology like Epigenetics, Wireless Sensor Networks, Grid Computing, Addictive Manufacturing, Smart Watches and Mobile 3D, were included in the list. The 2014 List is just as exciting as it was in 2013. Ultra private Smartphones: Silent Circle and Geeksphone are teaming up to produce the Black phone. A Black phone is an Android smartphone that has hardware and software to make phone calls, send massages, store and transfer files, and browse the internet more securely and privately. Finally, Black phone comes with software that gives the user better control over what other people can do on their phone. Brain Mapping: Neuroscientists have worked for decades to better understand how the brain functions.Recent advances in brain mapping technology have made that ambitious task easier. An international team of researchers at the Human Brain Project have created a three dimensional atlas of the brain. The maps resolution is fifty times better than previous efforts. The atlas creators digitally stitched together thousands of brain cross-sections. The map shows details up to 20 micrometers in size—the estimated size of many human cells. While this is a huge advancement, scientists still aim to create a map that shows details at 1 or 2 micrometers, rather than 20. Neuromorphic Chips: Many Big Company like Intel’s is planning to build a chip that can function more like human brain. Now engineers think it’s possible and they know how. These chips blend neurology into traditional technologies like smartphone chips. Company like Qualcomm is already testing chips in small robots that allow the machines to perform tasks that typically require a custom computer. The chips can process sensory data through sight and sound in order to respond in ways that are not explicitly programmed.
Genome Editing: Genome editing is a type of genetic engineering in which DNA is inserted, replaced or removed from a genome using artificially engineered nucleases, or “molecular scissors”.The ability to alter DNA at specific locations on chromosomes makes it easier to study diseases. Researchers at MIT have expressed interest in studying brain disorders like autism and Alzheimer’s disease. New method of DNA engineering used by Scientist’s know as CRISPR has the potential to aid researchers studying such ailments, allowing them to identify what genetic mutations actually cause the disorders. Micro scale 3-D Printing: The potential of 3-D printing technology has many people excited about new applications. But current printers have important limitations. Up until recently, most 3-D printers can only use plastic. A group of researchers at Harvard University, led by Jennifer Lewis, have started to develop new 3-D printer inks. Her team prints intricate objects using materials that are chosen based on their mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, or optical traits. Eventually new inks will enable a wider variety of functions, including artificial organ creation.
