CHAPTER ONE
Introduction to Emerging Technologies
Emerging technology is a term generally used to describe a new
technology, but it may also refer to the continuing development of existing
technology.
The term commonly refers to technologies that are currently developing,
or that are expected to be available within the next five to ten years, and is
usually reserved for technologies that are creating or are expected to create
significant social or economic effects.
Technological evolution is a theory of radical transformation of society
through technological development.
Currently available emerged technologies
Artificial Intelligence
Blockchain
Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality
Cloud Computing
Angular and React
DevOps
Internet of Things (IoT)
Intelligent Apps (I-Apps)
Big Data
Robotic Processor Automation (RPA)
 Introduction to the Industrial Revolution (IR)
Industrial revolutions fundamentally changed and transfer the world around us into
modern society.
 The steam engine,
 The age of science and mass production, and
 The rise of digital technology
 Smart and autonomous systems fueled by data and machine learning
 The Most Important Inventions of the Industrial Revolution
 Transportation: The Steam Engine, The Railroad, The Diesel Engine, The Airplane.
 Communication.: The Telegraph. The Transatlantic Cable. The Phonograph. The Telephone.
 Industry: The Cotton Gin. The Sewing Machine. Electric Lights.
 Historical Background (IR 1.0, IR 2.0, IR 3.0)
The four types of industries are:
 The primary industry involves getting raw materials e.g. mining, farming, and
fishing.
 The secondary industry involves manufacturing e.g. making cars and steel.
 Tertiary industries provide a service e.g. teaching and nursing.
 The quaternary industry involves research and development industries e.g. IT
 Role of Data for Emerging Technologies
Data is regarded as the new oil and strategic asset since we are living in the age of big data, and drives or even
determines the future of science, technology, the economy, and possibly everything in our world today and
tomorrow.
 Enabling devices and network (Programmable devices)
In the world of digital electronic systems, there are four basic kinds of devices:
 Memory devices store random information such as the contents of a spreadsheet or database.
 Microprocessors execute software instructions to perform a wide variety of tasks such as running a word processing
program or video game
 Logic devices provide specific functions, including device-to-device interfacing, data communication, signal processing,
data display, timing and control operations, and almost every other function a system must perform. And
 The network is a collection of computers, servers, mainframes, network devices, peripherals, or other devices connected
to one another to allow the sharing of data. An excellent example of a network is the Internet, which connects millions of
people all over the world Programmable devices.
 Some Programmable devices
 Achronix Speedster SPD60
 Actel’s
 Altera Stratix IV GT and Arria II GX programmable device
 Atmel’s AT91CAP7L
 Cypress Semiconductor’s programmable system-on-chip (PSoC) family
 Lattice Semiconductor’s ECP3
 Lime Microsystems’ LMS6002
 Silicon Blue Technologies
 Xilinx Virtex 6 and Spartan 6
 Xmos Semiconductor L series
 A full range of network-related equipment referred to as Service
Enabling Devices (SEDs), which can include:
Traditional channel service unit (CSU) and data service unit (DSU)
Modems
Routers
Switches
Conferencing equipment
Network appliances (NIDs and SIDs)
Hosting equipment and servers
 Human to Machine Interaction
 Human-machine interaction (HMI) refers to the communication and interaction between a human
and a machine via a user interface. HCI (human-computer interaction) is the study of how people
interact with computers and to what extent computers are or are not developed for successful
interaction with human beings.
How do users interact with computers?
 Directly with hardware for the human input and output
How important is human-computer interaction?

 improve the interaction between users and computers by making computers more user-friendly and
receptive to the user's needs.
 The main advantages of HCI are simplicity, ease of deployment & operations and cost savings for
smaller set-ups. They also reduce solution design time and integration complexity.
 Disciplines Contributing to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
 Cognitive psychology: Limitations, information processing, performance
prediction, cooperative working, and capabilities.
 Computer science: Including graphics, technology, prototyping tools, user
interface management systems.
 Linguistics.
 Engineering and design.
 Artificial intelligence.
 Human factors.
 Emerging technology trends in 2019
 5G Networks
 Artificial Intelligence (AI)
 Autonomous Devices
 Blockchain
 Augmented Analytics
 Digital Twins
 Enhanced Edge Computing and
 Immersive Experiences in Smart Spaces
 Some emerging technologies that will shape the future of you and your business
 The future is now or so they say. So-called emerging technologies are taking over our minds more and more each
day. These are very high-level emerging technologies though. They sound like tools that will only affect the top
tier of technology companies who employ the world’s top 1% of geniuses. This is totally wrong. Chatbots,
virtual/augmented reality, blockchain, Ephemeral Apps and Artificial Intelligence are already shaping your life
whether you like it or not. At the end of the day, you can either adapt or die.
