Technologies may one day offer us the opportunity to live healthily well beyond
100 years, enhance our intellectual and physical abilities and control our emotions.
Technology may also enable us to become producers of our own products, track
what we think and guide our decision-making. 
Emerging technology is a term generally used to describe a new technology, but
it may also refer to the continuing development of an existing technology; it can
have slightly different meaning when used in different areas, such as media,
business, science, or education.
Emerging technologies are often perceived as capable of changing the status quo.
Emerging technologies include a variety of technologies.
Currently most talked about emerging technologies in world are -IOT, AI,
Block Chain, Robotics, Big Data ,5G, 3D Printing, Server Less Computing etc.

IOT
The Internet of Things is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical
and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique
identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-
to-human or human-to-computer interaction. 
Why Is IoT so Important?
Over the past few years, IoT has become one of the most important technologies of
the 21st century. Now that we can connect everyday objects—kitchen appliances,
cars, thermostats, baby monitors—to the internet via embedded devices, seamless
communication is possible between people, processes, and things.
By means of low-cost computing, the cloud, big data, analytics, and mobile
technologies, physical things can share and collect data with minimal human
intervention. In this hyper connected world, digital systems can record, monitor,
and adjust each interaction between connected things. The physical world meets
the digital world—and they cooperate.

AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) is wide-ranging branch of computer science concerned
with building smart machines capable of performing tasks the typically require
human intelligence. AI is an interdisciplinary science with multiple approaches,
but advancements in machine learning and deep learning are creating a paradigm
shift in virtually every sector of the tech industry. 
Why is artificial intelligence important?

 AI automates repetitive learning and discovery through data. 

 AI adds intelligence to existing products.


 AI adapts through progressive learning algorithms to let the data do the
programming.

 AI analyzes more and deeper data using neural networks that have many
hidden layers.
 AI achieves incredible accuracy through deep neural networks – which
was previously impossible.
 AI gets the most out of data. When algorithms are self-learning, the data
itself can become intellectual property. The answers are in the data; you just have
to apply AI to get them out.
A blockchain, originally block chain, is a growing list of records, called blocks,
that are linked using cryptography. Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the
previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data. By design, a blockchain is
resistant to modification of the data.
At its most basic level, block chain is literally just a chain of blocks, but not in the
traditional sense of those words. When we say the words “block” and “chain” in
this context, we are actually talking about digital information (the “block”) stored
in a public database (the “chain”).

Big Data
Big data is a term that describes the large volume of data – both structured and
unstructured – that inundates a business on a day-to-day basis. But it’s not the
amount of data that’s important. It’s what organizations do with the data that
matters. Big data can be analyzed for insights that lead to better decisions and
strategic business moves.
 Big Data is defined as data that is huge in size. Bigdata is a term used to
describe a collection of data that is huge in size and yet growing
exponentially with time.
 Examples of Big Data generation includes stock exchanges, social media
sites, jet engines, etc.
 Big Data could be 1) Structured, 2) Unstructured, 3) Semi-structured
 Volume, Variety, Velocity, and Variability are few Characteristics of
Bigdata
 Improved customer service, better operational efficiency, Better Decision
Making are few advantages of Bigdata

Server Less Computing


Server less computing is a cloud-computing execution model in which the cloud
provider runs the server, and dynamically manages the allocation of machine
resources. Pricing is based on the actual amount of resources consumed by an
application, rather than on pre-purchased units of capacity.
Serverless computing is the technology of abstracting the servers, operating
systems and the infrastructures. It is a cloud computing execution model in which
the cloud provider dynamically manages the allocation of the machine resources.
When we are building the serverless application, it helps us in taking our minds off
from the infrastructure concerns because we do not need to manage any of the
servers.

5G
5G is the fifth generation of cellular network technology. The industry association
3GPP defines any system using "5G NR" (5G New Radio) software as, "5G", a
definition that came into general use by late 2018. Huge amounts of data
will need to be transmitted and processed in real time in order to ensure passenger
safety and only 5G is capable of providing the capacity, speed, low latency and
security needed to bring millions of autonomous cars to the roads.
Robotics
Robotics deals with the design, construction, operation, and use of robots, as well
as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information
processing. These technologies are used to develop machines that can substitute
for humans and replicate human actions. Robots are widely used in manufacturing,
assembly and packing, transport, earth and space exploration, surgery, weaponry,
laboratory research, and mass production of consumer and industrial goods.

Drones
The term “drone” is actually taken straight from the sci-fi world. Drones are used
for many reasons for filming, military surveillance and recreational activities.
Drones fall under an intersection of aerospace, robotics, and mechatronics. Drones
can range from entirely autonomous military-grade drones to your average remote-
controlled drones you might see a kid flying in the park. Another name for drones
is Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). These machines are primarily used in
situations where the conditions are dry, dull or dangerous for human pilots.
