Emerging Technologies Flashcards
Constantly updating at such a rapid pace that it seems it might be faster than light.
Technology
A concept that envisions a collective virtual shared
space, merging physical reality with digital environments. Often
used to describe the convergence of physical and virtual worlds, creating a seamless blend of digital and real-life experiences. From a novel called “Snow Crash (1992)”
Metaverse
Represents two distinct facets of this evolving digital realm.
Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)
Has the potential to revolutionize advertising within the physical world through the utilization of advanced special glasses. These glasses could overlay digital content onto the real environment, creating new opportunities for marketers to engage consumers.
Augmented Reality
Introduces an entirely new digital landscape that can serve as a canvas for innovative advertising campaigns.
Virtual Reality
A distributed computing paradigm that brings computation and data storage closer to the edge of the network, closer to where the data is generated or consumed. This can improve performance, reduce latency, and increase security.
Edge Computing
Four Advantages of Edge Computing
Reduced Latency, Improved Security, Increased Scalability, Reduced Cost
Four Examples of Edge Computing
Self-driving cars, Industrial automation, Medical imaging, Smart cities
Becoming increasingly popular and versatile, and they are
expected to be used for many more purposes in the future. Also called a UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle).
Drones
Eight Potential uses of Drones
Search and rescue, Delivery, Inspection, Monitoring, Entertainment, Agriculture, Construction, Security
A distributed ledger technology that allows for secure, transparent, and tamper-proof transactions. It is a public database that is shared by all participants in a network.
Blockchain Technology
Four applications of Blockchain Technology
Cryptocurrency, Supply chain management, Identity management, Intellectual property
Refers to the simulation of human intelligence
processes by machines, especially computer systems.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Four key subfields within AI
Machine learning, Deep learning, Natural language processing, Computer vision
Five Applications in AI
Personalized recommendations, Customer service, Healthcare, Transportation, Home automation
It is a technology that involves the use of software robots or “bots” to automate repetitive, rule-based tasks or processes within business operations. Particularly useful for tasks that are high in volume, routine, and require minimal decision-making.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
Refers to the latest generation of wireless technology for cellular networks. Designed to provide faster data speeds, more reliable connections, and the ability to connect a larger number of devices simultaneously.
5G (Fifth Generation)
Advancements of 5G over 4G
Faster speeds, Reduced latency, Greater capacity
Technological framework that refers to the connection of everyday physical objects to the internet or network. Devices that self-report in real-time, improving efficiency and bringing important information to the surface more quickly than a system depending on human intervention.
Internet of Things (IoT)
Examples of IoT
Smart home devices, Wearable devices, Industrial sensors, Self-driving cars, Medical devices
A type of computing that uses quantum mechanics to perform calculations. The study of the behavior of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic level.
Quantum Computing
Quantum computers use (blank) to store and process information. These can be in a superposition of states, which means that they can be in two states at the same time.
Quantum bits or Qubits,
Examples of Potential Applications of Quantum Computing
Cryptography, Drug discovery, Material science, Finance, Machine learning,
