Internet of things
time consuming tasks can be limited through IoT devices eg. smart sensors can be used to monitor the temp in a warehouse to avoid spoilage.
3D printing
simplifying the manufacturing of parts and products by simply printing them out from a design. can be used in architecture for creating scale models of designs.
ADVANTAGES (for us)
- convenience since we can access services and perform tasks much more quickly and conveniently such as controlling thermostat and lights through voice commamds.
- accessibility since people with disabilities can get around easier and can perform tasks and access services that would otherwise be inaccessible for them.
DISADVANTAGES (for us)
- cost since it can be very costly for individuals to keep up. An example is game consoles releasing an updated version to allow the adoption of VR
- over-reliance since people are becoming very dependent, if they were to lose these things then they would struggle to manage. For example, if people lose access to their smartphones then they become extremely agitated or stressed.
