Technology development

Technology development

Technology development is the process of research and development of technology. Many emerging technologies are expected to become generally applied in the near future.

There is an accelerating progress in technology, perhaps approaching a technological singularity.

Examples of technology development include:
* Software engineering
* Biotechnology
* Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology

Carbon nanotubes can, as of April 2008, be synthesized to a extend of a few millimeters, which already makes them suitable as electric brushes. It's approaching its many other potential applications.

Artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a field in development. Currently, AI is superhuman in most board-games, but still Sub-human in Go [Computer Go#Computers versus humans] and most everyday tasks performed by humans.

Energy

"Energy development" is the ongoing effort to provide sustainable energy resources through knowledge, skills, and constructions. When energy from primary energy sources and converting them into more convenient secondary energy forms, such as electrical energy and cleaner fuel, both emissions (reducing pollution) and quality (more efficient use) are important.

Emerging technologies

Examples of emerging technologies are Genetic engineering / Synthetic biology, Electric cars with range extenders and Personal rapid transit, Flash memory with smaller, faster, lower power consuming storage, Nanomaterials, CVD diamond, Scramjet, Wireless communication with ubiquitous network connectivity, Anti-aging drugs, Semantic Web or Answers Machine, more efficient bio fuels, OLEDs, Machine translation bob, Nuclear fusion power, 3D optical data storage or Holographic data storage, Metamaterials, 3D displays, Quantum computing, Nanowire batteries, Virtual retinal displays, WiTricity and WREL (Wireless energy transfer).
