8 Amazing and Interesting Facts About Technology That Might Surprise You

The world is becoming more and more technologically advanced, but it's also becoming more and more difficult for people to keep up with the latest innovations. It's not uncommon for people to feel overwhelmed by the changes in technology from day to day, but it's imperative that we stay tuned in so that we don't fall behind.

What are the current developmental technologies that are changing our lives? (wikipedia pages are not included)

The future of technology is always changing. New developments in the field of AI and robotics are changing the way we live, work, and interact with one another.

Some current developmental technologies that are changing our lives are:

- Wearable technology: It is the use of small electronic devices that can be worn on clothing or carried in a pocket or handbag. These devices typically have sensors and other components to provide information about one's physical environment, such as altitude, sound level, vibration levels, orientation to magnetic north or true north, etc.

- Augmented Reality: It is a live direct or indirect view of a physical real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound waves; it is typically achieved by projecting a video image onto a translucent screen in front of the user, who wears 3D glasses to see the full stereoscopic image

Here is a brief list of some of the changes that the technology has brought:

1) Why AI is the future (technology facts)

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that deals with the simulation of intelligent behavior in computers. AI has become an essential part of the modern world. It is now being used extensively in a number of fields such as engineering, medicine, science, law and other areas.

AI is being applied to almost every industry and its impact on the future of consumerism is just one of the many. With AI, consumers can get more personalized products that are tailored to their needs and wants.

This section will cover why AI is the future of consumerism, how it will change how we consume, how it will change how marketers sell their products and why AI provides more opportunities for consumers.

The term "artificial intelligence" was coined by John McCarthy in 1955 at Dartmouth College. The field was founded on the claim that it is possible to produce machines capable of performing tasks that would require intelligence if done by humans. Artificial intelligence has been the subject of intense study for over half a century both within and outside academia. It is a field that has been explored and researched by experts in computer science, mathematics, psychology, biology, economics, logic, and philosophy.

2) The mobile devices (cell phones)

Mobile phones are one of the most common inventions since early 2000s to recent history. They are very popular and you will often find people who can't go a long time, day or maybe a few hours without it.

They are used for a variety of purposes and they have become an essential part of our daily lives.

Imagine a tiny device with a SIM card that can make voice calls, send text messages and access the internet - anywhere in the world. That alone is breathtaking.

The average person checks their phone 150 times per day. As a result, the battery life of your phone is constantly draining and if you don't know how to charge your phone properly, it can lead to unnecessary stress. You should only charge your phone when the battery is low and half drained so that you can get the most out of your device.

3) The search engine

The search engines are a major source of information for the users. They help them find the information they need by searching for it on the internet. Actually, the amount of time you spend searching today is barely anything compared to before. And that has a huge impact on how we save time in modern world.

There are two major players in the market, Google and Bing. Yahoo has been slowly losing its grip on the market and is gradually fading into obscurity.

4) WWW / world wide web (world’s first webpage and world of technology now)

The Internet is the world's most powerful and widespread system of computer networks. The Internet was invented in 1973 by the U.S Department of Defense. It was originally called ARPANET and it was created to allow computers to communicate with each other over long distances.

The first website, which is now known as "A Brief History of the Internet," was launched in 1991, by Tim Berners-Lee, who had been working on a project called ENQUIRE since 1980.

The internet has grown exponentially since its invention and now it has more than 3 billion users worldwide with an average of 6 billion active connections at any given moment.

A domain name registration is the first step to creating your web presence. Which is an effective way for any business or individuals to establish an online digital footprint.

5) The social media

Social media is a communication platform that allows people to share and distribute information, ideas, and images.

Social media is not an idea or a trend. It is the way we communicate today. It has become one of the most powerful tools for marketers to reach their target audiences and customers.

Social media marketing is about connecting with your audience through content that they are interested in and want to engage with. It’s about using social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc to create an online presence for your business.

What is the most popular social media’s job?

Social Media Manager is the most popular job in social media in recent years. They are responsible for managing a company's social media presence across various platforms on a daily basis, such as Facebook and Twitter. Even the tech companies need a social manager.

6) Computer storage and what's gonna be the next computer

Computers are tools that have a variety of uses. One thing that computers are for is storing a lot of information. There are many different types of storage devices and each one has it's own pros and cons.

Hard drive are the most common type of storage used in computers today and they store even more data than flash memory drives do, but they cost more and don't offer as much resiliency or durability

7) Big data

Big data is a buzzword that has been around for more than a decade. It is the process of analyzing a large data set to identify patterns, trends and other interesting information.

There are many reasons why big data is important to our lives. For one, it helps us make better decisions about how to spend our money and time. Big data can also help us make better decisions about what we want to buy with our credit cards or what we want for dinner.

8) Video games

Video games are a type of game that people play using electronic devices. They are important because they can make people smarter, teach them new skills, and help them develop their creativity.

The future of video games is bright. Although there has been a decline in the sales of physical video games, the rise in mobile gaming and eSports is increasing. It's estimated that by 2030, mobile gaming market size is to reach USD 338 billion.

Video games can also be sometimes bad for children resulting in addiction, bad behavior, and violence. Some video games have been banned in some countries for these reasons.

The Conclusion: The Future Might Be Bright if We Keep Innovating For The Sake of Humanity

We are living in an era of technological advancements and it is natural that we are going to be concerned about the future. But, the future might be bright if we keep innovating for the sake of humanity، while we keep our eyes and mind on the environment and our planet.
