Article 1 - Evolution of Technology

Various topics on technology always peek through one of technology's child internet every now and then. To list a few:

a) Technology - is it a boon or ban ? 
b) How technology has changed human's outlook toward the world in the last decade or century?
c) Are humans becoming addicted to technology use ?
d) Will artificial intelligent robots acquire human era in the near future?

Also we have been seeing so many science fiction thriller movies ranging from 2001- A space odyssey, Stealth to i-Robot, Matrix and War of the worlds where technology tries to overtake human life, memory, body, soul and everything. Now a days, no body can imagine a day without smart devices like mobile phones, tablets, laptops which is inter connected by the source as internet. If these are the recent inventions, then the previous major inventions like electricity, transportation including two, three and four wheeler, trains, airplanes etc have become the basic needs of day to day life.



The truth is that the new inventions in information technology are made to forget about the old ones.Cloud computing, Sixth sense and Google glass will make us forget about external hard disks, pen drives, laptops which in turn had made compact discs, floppy disks and personal computers disappear. But now even smart phones are becoming transparent. In the near future, every one will have their data in cloud locked with a secured account and password online.

If you want to meet some one 1000 miles away, your visual 3D or 4D projection can reach there in seconds and he will get a feel that he is talking to your clone. Every body is locating their destination in Google maps before they set out their journey now. But soon you can see the location route and destination point itself in front of you in a 3D projected satellite view like the scientists seeing island of Pandora in Avatar movie.

We cannot always predict how the technology will be evolving through out as the chain of inventions will never cease. Though these inventions are helping humans in various ways, they should not possess a threat to the humans.
