CURRENT TRENDS AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
1. Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- computer systems built to mimic human intelligence.
- AI refers to the computers having the capabilities of performing tasks like a human.
- AI can do these tasks faster and more accurately than humans.
Benefits
 Enhanced Automation
 Eliminates the Necessity for Humans to Perform Tedious Tasks
 Smart Weather Forecasting
 Next Generation Disaster Response
 Zero Scope for Errors
2. 5G data networks
- 2020 is likely to be the year when 5G really starts to fly
3. Internet of Things (IoT)
- a giant network of connected things and people all of which collect and share data about the
way they are used and about the environment around them.
- Iot made possible for devices like Alexa, Bixby and Google Home to function.
- It can enable predictive maintenance, speed up medical care, improve customer service, and
offer benefits we haven’t even imagined yet.
4. Blockchain
- is a shared, immutable ledger that facilitates the process of recording transactions and tracking
assets in a business network
- a system in which a record of transactions made in bitcoin or another cryptocurrency are
maintained across several computers that are linked in a peer-to-peer network.
5. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality
- Virtual Reality (VR) immerses the user in an environment while Augment Reality (AR)
enhances their environment.
Benefits of AR and VR
 Make The eLearning Process engaging and exciting
 Create Scenarios That Otherwise Are Impossible To Create
 Allow for Self-Guided Exploration
 6. Computer Vision
- involves systems that can identify items, places, objects or people from visual images – those
collected by a camera or sensor.

DIGITAL REVOLUTION
The Digital Revolution began between the late 1950’s and 1970’s.
It is the development of technology from mechanical and analog to digital. During this time, digital
computers and digital record keeping became the norm. The introduction of digital technology also changed
the way humans communicate, now via computers, cell phones, and the internet.
This revolution led way to the Information Age.
1950’s and 1960’s, many governments, military forces, and other organizations were already using
computers.
Soon after, the computer was introduced for household use and by the 1970’s
By 2015, around 50% of the world had constant internet connection, and ownership rates of smartphones
and commonness of tablet possession have nearly surpassed those of home computers. The ability to
store information has grown exponentially with terabyte storage now being very accessible.
ANALOG VS DIGITAL
Analog and digital signals are used to transmit information, usually through electric signals. In both these
technologies, the information, such as any audio or video, is transformed into electric signals. The
difference between analog and digital technologies is that in analog technology, information is translated
into electric pulses of varying amplitude. In digital technology, translation of information is into binary format
(zero or one) where each bit is representative of two distinct amplitudes.
Digital Age
- Computer Age, Digital Age, or New Media Age
- a historic period in the 21st century characterized by the rapid shift from traditional industry that
the Industrial Revolution brought through industrialization, to an economy based on information technology.
- Time frame in history that the use of digital technology became prevalent and of common use
throughout the world. The digital age began in earnest with the widespread use of the Internet
- The period of the introduction of the personal computer with subsequent technology in providing
the ability to transfer information freely and quickly in human history characterized by the shift from
traditional industry
- captures the ubiquitous nature of computing and the prolific use of technology in almost all aspects
of human activity such that digital interaction is a defining characteristic of human activity.
- The age of widespread use of technological products and networks and technological methods’
over traditional methods in life practices.
- The generation in history during which the use of digital technology became ubiquitous throughout
the world.
