The internet has now grown to the point at which it transmits trillions of bits of information every second. Furthermore, it is estimated to be capable of growing by at least a fifth of its current size every year. In order to sustain this global data behemoth, which has become so important to so many people, technology must keep evolving and improving.

Electronic circuitry powered by transistors is a common, effective and popular form of binary computing.

Quantum entanglement is a state in which the location of one particle is closely correlated with that of another. In other words, it is the nearest practical thing to having a said particle in two places at once. It has already been established that quantum entanglement is quite possible. However, it is still not very common, not even in super-advanced, dedicated labs.

It seems that diamonds grown in a lab will have many roles to play in the electronics and engineering of the future. This could be because these precious stones contain (necessary) defects, often worked into the diamonds to order.

“On tap at the brewpub. A nice dark red color with a nice head that left a lot of lace on the glass. Aroma is of raspberries and chocolate. Not much depth to speak of despite consisting of raspberries. The bourbon is pretty subtle as well. I really don’t know that find a flavor this beer tastes like. I would prefer a little more carbonization to come through.

Cognitive Computing is a new and evolving research area, which broadly refers to both hardware and software technologies that attempt to mimic the capabilities and functioning of the human brain. While at its base is the major disciplines of Artificial Intelligence and Signal Processing, this new discipline exhibits certain features common to the human brain model:

Keeping accurate time is paramount for air travel, triangulating GPS coordinates, operating telecommunication devices, and regulating world economies. Not just to the second, higher orders of precision timing are needed. The GPS system uses internal time measurements that are accurate to the nanosecond (or billionths of a second).

Reportedly 290 million people around the world suffer from blindness, more than half of that number from visual impairment in the form of age-related macular degeneration or glaucoma. These individuals either depend on handheld magnifying glasses or ineffective apps or just end up enduring the strain. Isn’t this reason enough for us, the millennials, the tech-savvy generation to give them hope, an improved quality of life by assisting them with a sense of sight?

As our reliance on digital devices increases apace, sometimes our patience levels decrease at the same rate. We’ve come to expect seamless streaming, near-instant downloads and constant access to information at the touch of a button. As such, our current wireless connection speeds are often proving themselves to be in need of upgrading.

Human Computer Interaction (HCI) has been evolving for the last 30 years in respect to achieving a natural feeling, by mimicking the human-to-human interaction and by involving various means: movements, vision, and speech.

Global Positioning System (GPS) technology has entered our everyday lives within mobile phones, tablets, car driving assistants, and much more. A wide range and large number of applications rely on the GPS system to retrieve real-time precise position and velocity information.
