I am promoting our motivational Quotes Site TheQuotes.Net and my Emerging Technologies News channel for many years. Whenever I promote the Quotes site I used to think and say that reading very old Quotes of ancient authors are very useful. I highlight the importance of reading classic Quotes. But whenever I promote my channel, I used to say that reading emerging technologies news is very useful as it is going to help us to get new/better job/business effortlessly. It looks like bit contradictory based on the fact that Quotes and innovations are related. In olden days Scientists were known as philosophers. i-e On the one hand I am saying that we need to focus on Classic things while on the other hand I am saying that we should focus on upcoming things.
I thought deeply about it, and came to the conclusion that old theoretical concepts that are available today are really worthy. Because they are tested by time. Unworthy things were forgotten by the Time. So, these time-tested things (e.g Thirukural) are really worth to read/think/analyze/discuss/implement.
But, in case of scientific and technology innovations, old things are getting updated continuously. In this case it is better to focus on upcoming things. It is important, because all the Businesses are going to put their efforts on emerging technologies only. At the same time, it important to validate/cross check the modern developments with the classic knowledge.
I explored various things (e.g creating a platform for connecting Scientists and Business people, updating my android apps with new features) for doing in this year 2022. But finally, after doing a detailed analysis, I decided to put all my efforts/time for running my YouTube Channel.
Currently, I create most of my videos just by reading the press releases. This year I plan to add some videos to share my learning/experiences/opinions. And, I am working on to promote the channel using Google Ads. In short, this year I will be fully focusing only on running my YouTube Channel.
As explained in my previous posts, I am spending more time for running my YouTube channel than my other business initiatives, e.g Software Development.
For running my YouTube Channel, in the past few years, I had spent significant time for going through various articles about latest science and technologies. I am writing this blog post to share my thoughts about emerging technologies, based on my experience of running my Technology News YouTube Channel.
As I explained in this video, it is important to know about emerging technologies to start a business or even for retaining the current job.
Though researches are happening on various emerging technologies, there is no guarantee for bringing them all into our everyday life in the near future. Some can be successful, some researches may take more time, and some may never enter into our life.
Moreover, successful research of any single technology is not enough to be seen in our everyday life. It depends on the success of any depending technologies also. For example, many Artificial Intelligence(AI) algorithms were successfully created many years back itself. But they were not useful at that time. Because we haven't had the required computing power to run those algorithms. We started seeing the use of AI algorithms in various fields after the growth of computing power. Now we can see a lot of AI applications, e.g, discovering Drug, counting elephants, generating 3D holograms in real-time, detecting powdery mildew easily, analyzing satellite images, thought-to-speech system, improving the prediction of stroke recovery, fighting disinformation, teaching robots to make appropriate reactive human facial expressions, Diagnose Skin Conditions, Driverless Ride-Hailing Services, pinpoint Local Pollution Hotspots, explore the biomolecular world, Telehealth, speed up drug development, improving vaccine delivery, and many other things. You can check them here.
Though we already started getting the benefits of AI, still various AI related researches are going on. For example, researchers are trying hard to develop Generic AI which can be used in any field.
Personally I witnessed the power of AI while running my YouTube channel. Previously I used to spend a lot of time and effort for creating subtitles/captions for my videos. Now, it can be done very easily without spending any time or effort. It is possible because of the AI which is improved a lot to understand anyone's voice and transcribe it automatically.
People are afraiding that AI will grab the job opportunities of the people. Though it may not happen overnight, surely AI will affect the job market heavily in the long run. That's why Governments are working on Universal Basic Income schemes.
The wonder material Graphene is having a lot of potential to change our life entirely in the near future as it is having many unbelievable properties. Graphene is much harder than either steel or diamond of the same dimensions. It is the thinnest material possible as well as being transparent. It is completely impermeable. Even helium atoms can’t pass through it.
Though we can simply create Graphene from Graphite found in the pencils, by simply using sticking tape in the Lab in small amount, it is still a challenge to produce pure graphene at large scale. Researchers are working on to produce graphene from plastics and tires. Some companies have started commercializing the Graphene applications like Fire pit and concrete slab.
Apart from large scale production challenge, widespread Graphene usage is facing another issue also. People are afraiding that Graphene will affect our health. For example, a few months back Canada banned Graphene Face Masks by citing Health risks as reason.
Note that I am writing this post based on my random thoughts, but if you want to know the systematic study about Emerging Technologies of 2021, you can refer the Gartner Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies 2021, which includes Nonfungible tokens (NFTs), digital humans and physics-informed AI.
Because of the huge developments happening with Artificial Intelligence and Material Science fields, many new inventions related to Robots and Drones are achieved. See them here. Mostly researchers are working on developing soft robots based on the inspirations from insects and animals, even they work on creating Living Robots.
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) are further helping to reduce the gap between Human and Robots. BCI allows Fast, Accurate Typing by people with Paralysis, and it enables paralyzed man to walk. It could control a Wheelchair, Vehicle or Computer.
Scientists are working on creating materials for neuromorphic computers which can operate similar to Brains. And, they work on various things (e.g Silq, simulator, thermometer, ML Algorithm) for the Quantum Computers.
The combined power of AI, Nanotechnology, Quantum Computers, 3D printing, blockchain and Gene-editing can help us to improve our life in the coming days.
But we need to note that we are facing many threats like climate change in the coming days. World's lakes losing oxygen rapidly as planet warms. The Sahara Desert is Expanding.
So, researches for fighting climate change may get more importance in the coming days. Carbon capture related researches already started.
Though the Scientific world is progressing at high speed, I feel that the Business world is not ready to use them. So, I am planning to develop a platform for connecting the Scientists and Entrepreneurs so that people can get the benefits of emerging technologies earlier. Check the Community Tab of my Channel to get the updates/progress of my plan.
A few months back I was thinking about writing my online earning experiences as a Book to sell it on sites like Amazon.
I spent some time to write the Book, but I haven't had enough time to take the required steps to sell/promote it.
So, I set this eBook as a perk for the members of my YouTube Channel. As I didn't get much members for my channel through the JOIN button, I disabled the JOIN button in a few months.
Now I decided to make the eBook available for free. You can download it from here
In this eBook I shared my experiences of earning money online by doing freelance projects and by running YouTube Channel.
At this moment, I may not be considered as successful in doing business. But I believe that reading my experiences can help someone in someways for earning from online.
