Technology of Today's
The world is rapidly changing and technology has infused in each and every
aspect of our live. Have we thought of not having technology in our live?
Technology plays a significant role in the lives of every individual. Admit it
or not, we are dependent on technology and the thought of not having it would
make us feel of life as dull and terrible.
Technology makes our
duties and tasks faster and easier without exerting so much effort. Through it
information can be access easily, jobs can be done quickly, and learning can be
acquired efficiently.
Technology’s job in the
lives of man…..
1. Technology at Home
Many of today’s products
are becoming “smart” even in our own house. The home appliances today are
becoming more automated to suit the people’s needs and make their chores
faster. Here are some best smart home technologies:
LG has developed the
internet refrigerator that has the capacity to communicate to the users via
internet, cell phones and PDA. This refrigerator has the ability to download
and display recipes on its LCD screens. It also takes an automatic inventory to
alert the consumers of what is inside, how long it has been there and if the
items are running low.
A security system called
“canary security system” has the capacity to connect all your smart devices
together to make one security system that could monitor your house, watch from
intruders and will send you videos of irregular activities. It also checks in
on the temperature and air quality using built-in sensors.
Internet-connected kettle
called “ikettle” can be turned on from the app and scheduled to warm ready for
when you wake up.
These inventions are
just some proofs that technologies are indeed rapidly changing the world and
make our every day’s living convenient.
2. Technology at Classrooms
Technology creates a
great change in Education. Through the use of technology learning process
became a lot easier. The classrooms of today are becoming more efficient and
productive for it has assortment of various educational tools, visual stimulus
and animations. E-learning appeals to student because it offers different
learning styles that provides perfect blend of fun and learning. Using
technology improved student-teacher Interaction.
3. Technology as tool of
communication
In the present times the
face of personal communication is constantly changing. These changes often mean
people are having less and less face to face interaction. Email, texting,
Facebook and Twitter are some few examples of mediums that weakened verbal
communication. Verbal communication has dramatically decreased from 20 years
ago but despite of its negative its side present communication mediums impart a
very important role to deliver and receive information around the world. It
makes the communication faster than in face to face conversation.
4 Technologies role in
business society
Technology plays an
essential role in business it brings a level of change through the use of
devices such as computers and other corresponding machinery. The ability to
share information and collaborate without geographic limitations change the way
many businesses communicate with staffs and clients. Search engine technology
allows individuals to access information exceptional speed and accuracy.
Website introduces companies and explains value preposition before anyone has
to take the time to meet.
5. Technologies role in
agriculture
In the world of
agriculture technology plays a vital role. It provides new growing technique
like aquaponics, vertical agriculture and greenhouses are some examples
according to Karl A. Dawson but there are so machines that are being use to
cultivate land for farming such as field cultivator trucks and etc.
Mechanical
technology in agriculture:
Equipment telematics:
Allows mechanical devices such as tractors to warn mechanics that a failure is
likely to occur soon. Intra-tractor communication can be used as a rudimentary
"farm swarm" platform.
Livestock biometrics: Collars with GPS, RFID and biometrics can
automatically identify and relay vital information about the livestock in real
time.
Crop sensors: Instead of prescribing field fertilization before
application, high-resolution crop sensors inform application equipment of
correct amounts needed. Optical sensors or drones are able to identify crop
health across the field (for example, by using infra-red light).
Infrastructural health sensors: Can be used for monitoring vibrations and
material conditions in buildings, bridges, factories, farms and other
infrastructure. Coupled with an intelligent network, such sensors could feed
crucial information back to maintenance crews or robots.
6 Technology in the field
of Medicine
As of now there are
medical facilities that are greatly advanced in terms technological devices.
A. Cutting
Back on Melanoma Biopsies
With the most deadly form of skin cancer, melanoma, a huge number of
dangerous-looking moles are actually harmless, but has always been impossible
to know for sure without an invasive surgical biopsy. Today dermatologists have
new help in making the right call — a handheld tool approved by the FDA for
multispectral analysis of tissue morphology. The MelaFind optical scanner is
not for definitive diagnosis but rather to provide additional information a
doctor can use in determining whether or not to order a biopsy. The goal is to
reduce the number of patients left with unnecessary biopsy scars, with the
added benefit of eliminating the cost of unnecessary procedures.
B. Electronic
Aspirin
For people who suffer from migraines, cluster headaches, and other
causes of chronic, excruciating head or facial pain, the "take two
aspirins and call me in the morning" method is useless.
C. Needle-Free Diabetes
Care
Diabetes self-care is a pain—literally. It brings the constant need to draw blood
for glucose testing, the need for daily insulin shots and the heightened risk
of infection from all that poking. Continuous glucose monitors and insulin
pumps are today's best options for automating most of the complicated daily
process of blood sugar management – but they don't completely remove the need
for skin pricks and shots.
One of the most advance
Hospital in the World:
1. University
of Texas M.D Anderson, located in Texas U.S.A. ONE OF THE TOP 10 best cancer
treating Hospitals in the world.
2. John
Hopkins Hospital located in Baltimore U.S.A. They advanced when it comes to
give diagnosis and treatment plans to their patients.
