Emerging technologies
On May the 1st 1994, I had the chance to be published on a local IT magazine "PC USERS". [https://ibb.co/kcHOeG] It was an special issue that one, as it contained all articles written by the readers. I don't remember well, but I've sent a couple of articles about viruses, I think. Opinion related, nothing fancy. In fact, the published article was a crossword containing IT related terms. Imaging something less fancy than that. Anyway, getting to my point, after you finished the crossword, the central legend was VIRTUAL REALITY. I'm talking about the mid 90's. I've used this, for example: http://www.gadgethelpline.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/vrheadset.jpg VR was something like The Lawnmower Man (1992) [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104692] flick, or even Johnny Mnemonic (1995) [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113481] thing, all pre-Matrix-VR to clue you in. *Still*, we thought at the time that *that* was *it*. More than 20 years after, the concept is gaining power again, and, for the new generations who probably think that this is a *new* trend, it was a new trend way in time, and of course, before that too. Now feeling myself mumbling like an old chap, let me ask you the following- Which of the current so called IT "Emerging Technologies" do you really think has a future? 5G cellular communications Ambient intelligence Artificial brain Artificial general intelligence Atomtronics Augmented reality Blockchain or distributed ledger technology Carbon nanotube field-effect transistor Civic technology Counterparty (technology) Cryptocurrency DNA digital data storage Exascale computing Gesture recognition Internet of Things (Due SL max chars limit, I shall end on a second post)
