DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY

1. Artificial Intelligence:
Artificial intelligence  is used
when machines copy the
cognitive functions of the human
brain in learning and solving
problems.
As machines become increasingly
capable, other facilities are
removed from the definition.
Although this area has a long
history, professionals in the field
a re g e tt i n g  e v e r c l o s e r  t o
achieving artificial intelligence.
Internet of Things (IoT):
IoT will see new relationships develop
between things and other things, things and
people, and people and other people—all to
make our lives easier, more efficient, and
more effective. We already see this
happening. 
For example, we can control smart thermostats
from our phones so that the temperature is
ideally suited to you when you enter your
home. Future developments could see our cars
connect with our calendars to navigate
automatically to our destination along the
optimal route, or our fridge ordering groceries
when it detects a given food item is close to
depletion.
On a more global scale, IoT will significantly transition us into “smart cities.”
With the help of sensors, IoT will make our cities more efficient, cost-effective,
and safer places in which to live.
Smart buildings will turn utilities off when closed down and turn everything
back on as needed.
Smart street lights will turn off when no one is passing through.
Smart infrastructure will allow us to detect faults or deterioration in city
infrastructure or contamination in water supplies.
Smart grids can use and distribute energy more efficiently throughout the city.
Driverless cars will be able to connect to smart traffic sensors to determine the
most efficient route possible. They may also be able to connect with sensors
built into sidewalks to determine where potential parks could be located. 
 High-Speed Travel:
3D Printing
Medical
Innovations:

These innovations include


vaccines that were not there
before, genomic directed
clinical trials, gene editing  cell-
free fetal DNA testing, cancer
screening through protein
biomarker analysis, frictionless
remote monitoring and more.
SPACE COLONISATION
Space colonization is where settlers could occupy gigantic spacecraft or other planets
and moons. This human advancement is already in existence with projects such as
the International Space Station.

NASA has also come up with several space colonization projects such as the National
Space Society, and International Space Development Conference where students
participate in contents.

There are also numerous enterprises in the private sector such as SpaceX, Virgin
Galactic, Blue Origin, and Stratolaunch Systems working on space-exploration, which
are funded by billionares Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos, and Paul
Allen respectively.
