Technologies Bringing Change
DICK O'BRIEN REPORTS on "10 technologies that could change your business" and I want to bring his five page article from Computers in Business into the Emerging Technologies and Trends module I teach at Limerick Institute of Technology.
I've already made "tablets and creativity" a major thread of discussion in the module and that corresponds to Dick's third technlogy (i.e., mobile devices). He also cites near field communications, cloud computing, long term evolution, green technology, 3D, nanotechnology, sensor arrays, motion control and HTML5. I'm interested in hearing from fourth year students how many of these emerging technologies will be part of a creative's work flow in the year 2020.
Dick O'Brien -- "10 Technologies that could change your business" in Computers in Business, October 2, 2011.
I've read that HTML is still a work in progress until its completion in 2020. While it is officially being released next year and is already available to use, I would love to see a single language on the internet to avoid downloading plugins and the like. Nanotechnology is a definite advantage for both military and health services, and could lead to some serious advances by 2020 (fingers crossed for immortality solution). Cloud computing is big at the moment and is a field of interest to many. It is possible by 2020, we will all be working off a single server on a single system in a single computer language as a single community.
