blockchain
-
-
-
-
-
referred to as meta-technology as they are made up of several technologies (incl database, software app, + internet-connected devices
-
-
-
a hash is unique to the block it is assigned to + identifies the block + the data it holds - when the contents of the block changes, the hash changes
-
types
public
large, distributed networks that operate using a native token
-
-
eg bitcoin, but the blockchain is the technology that facilitates it, it is not the actual thing
permissioned
-
large, distributed system that uses a native token
-
-
-
AI
positive impacts
-
can take over repetitive + dangerous tasks which allows the human workforce to take on work that involves creativity + empathy
helps improve monitoring of patients in healthcare - helping reduce operating costs + save the money that could be used to hire more staff
-
-
deep learning
function of Ai that imitates how the brain works with respect to processing data + creating patterns in order to make decisions
-
-
non linear thinking - the ability to make connections + draw conclusions from unrelated concepts/ideas
machine learning
application of AI here computer systems automatically learn + improve with experience without being programmed
-
quickly analyses data + identifies patterns, so can identify anomalies quickly
challenges
jobs will be lost to machines, but also new ones created by them that require the unique abilities of people
will have economic, legal, + regulatory impact on society - e.g. self driving cars
-
-
-
-
Drones
-
-
-
-
-
-
to fly a drone in the Uk, the CAA require users to register + take a test which must be passed before the user can legally fly
quantum
-
-
theory
a quantum computer performs operations + calculations based on the probability of an object's state, before it is measured/observed (the qubit)
-
pairs of qubits can be entangled - meaning the state of one is not able to be changed without affecting the state of the other
qubits can degrade/get lost when using traditional transmission method such as fibre optic cables - meaning quantum signals between quantum computers have a high error rate and cannot travel long distances
-
quantum internet
could enable quantum computers, and other quantum devices, to be interconnected and communicate through the teleportation of qubits
-
-
quantum cryptography
by moving the process of creating encryption keys to quantum technology, the probability of the keys being deciphered can be decreased
-
IoT
-
process
-
the things are embedded within software, sensors, and other technologies which enables them to connect and exchange data with other devices + systems over the internet
IoT sensors are used to monitor the operating conditions of equipment + machinery, and the data captured is processed + analysed by advanced machine learning algorithms (helps predict failures of equipment - keeping reduction in productivity, costs, and downtime to a minimum)
people
-
they now use wearable technologies and smart devices which have changed how to obtain + collect info
data
-
one of the main functions of the IoT is to gather huge amounts of data to improver operations + functionality
-
system of interrelated, internet-connected objects which collect and transfer data wirelessly without human intervention
DNA storage
DNA has double the capacity of binary as it has 4 different states (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine
-
-
energy efficient - DNA in an encapsulated, tightly sealed shell should preserve DNA for hundreds of thousands of years at room temp
5G
-
designed to provide faster download speeds, low latency, + greater capacity
5G cells expand mobile networks by boosting capacity as users need it (eg in a stadium/at a festival
also enables billions of devices to be connected, IoT, + AI
3D printing
-
advantages
-
-
quality + consistency
the object is made from a digital file using CAD, so once the prototype has been created + amended then the printer will create the same quality + design everytime
-
extended reality
forms
AR
-
-
can be used to guide someone through a task, navigate a new environment, or provide a real time description of what is happening around them
-
MR
-
blends the real-world environment + digitally created content which co-exist + interact with each other in real time
-
