Many mobile phone manufacturing companies are coming out with mobile phones that are charged using the solar energy. This technology is very helpful, especially for those people who are on the move on major part of the day. The phone is equipped with solar cells which get recharged by solar energy. This not only increases the utility of the phone but also, it helps to cut down the e-waste, as the need of charger is eliminated. Besides, some of the phones that are coming today are water proof and dust proof. The advancement in technology has increased their durability considerably. Some companies are also experimenting on various technologies like integrating blood sugar level monitor, universal remote, thermometer etc. within the phone. But these technologies are in trial phase and it will take some time for them to finally come out in the market.
Today’s generation is marked by technology and innovation. This article will give you a brief insight on some of the world’s latest emerging technologies. Recently, a group of students came out with a material which was able to send light in a backward direction.
Scientist in China is talking about “complementary material” that has amazing optical properties that cancel each other. This makes it look as if no material is there. The United States Army is using a device that will soon going to become a universal interpreter. IraqComm, which is developed by SRI International, is being used by them. It is basically language translation and speech recognition software. It transforms the language, like for example from Arabic and then translates it into any other language like English etc. A similar device is being developed at Carnegie Mellon University, located at Pennsylvania.
These technologies are bound to create a revolution soon.
The electronic revolution is on the go. The world has changed a lot since the introduction of mobile phones, internet, TV’s etc. One of the latest emerging technologies is a device called Prism 200. This device can detect people even through a brick wall. It is a briefcase sized system which functions by transmitting pulses of ultra wide radar and returning echoes. You can hear the voices through walls as thick as 16 inches and the range is anywhere from 40-50 feet.
Another great invention is Erwin Biebl’s radar sensor. This device was developed in Technical University of Munich, located in Germany. This device can detect even minutest of human movements. It uses a Doppler radar to sense the movements.
Meta materials are another great invention. These are made up of electric components that interact with light and then send light in a desired direction. The basic idea is to steer light around an object.
Last decade was the decade of the digital revolution. This revolution paved the way for what we call Plasma TV’s. This technology has changed the way people used to watch TV. The sleek design backed by high definition flat screen was the two most important attributes of Plasma TV’s.
Plasma TV’s are comprised of hi-tech plasma technology. Their inner structure comprises of thousand of cells, which are sandwiched between two sheets of glass. These cells are multi colored and these are pumped with several gases. These act as pixels of these TV’s. The frequent discharging and charging of the cells in gas make these pixels glow
These TV’s are being widely applauded for their multicolored well defined bright, flicker free display. Further, the negligible picture blur and high sensitivity makes them almost next to perfect. These TV’s also save huge space, as these can be easily mounted on the wall.
To a large extent technology is responsible for changing our lifestyle in a positive way. It has allowed us to do our day to day task in a simple and easy manner. The speed at which the technology is upgrading is tremendous. A gadget that comes out today will be replaced by an improved one within a short period of time.
One such emerging technology is hybrid or an electric car. There are many concerns among people about the rising levels of pollution and thus, the use of cleaner fuel like electricity is being pushed. This technology as of now is costly and not very efficient, but is slowly emerging and soon it will bring a revolution to the vehicle market all round the world. Also, car manufacturing companies are working on different version of engines that require less fuel and thus, help to keep the environment clean
Numerous gadgets are coming out each year. Some are for fun, some to help people and some for more practical purposes. There have been many which have improved safety, household comfort and weekend entertainment. This article will give you a brief insight on some of the latest emerging technologies.
iRobot is a newly introduced gadget which is used to clean gutters. This is used to blast dirt, mess and leaves in the gutter. It is controlled through a remote. Its high utility makes it a must have.
Apple iPad is another emerging technology which is combining the power of Apple’s iPhone and Apple’s iPad. It allows you to listen to music, play games, make calls and surf the net.
The blue light therapy which is used to control or cure acne is anther sophisticated technology. It makes use of bright lights of specific wavelengths to cure the patients.
