Study Notes
Characteristics of Emerging Technologies
- Emerging technology is characterized by radical novelty, meaning it takes a new form or is used in a new way, fulfilling a function by using a different basic principle than previous technology.
- Emerging technologies exhibit relatively fast growth rates, measured across dimensions such as the number of actors involved, public and private funding, knowledge outputs, prototypes, products, and services.
- Coherence is a key characteristic, where previously separated research streams and technologies converge, having a logical interconnection and a united identity.
- Emerging technologies have a prominent impact on the socio-economic domain, transforming industries and exerting significant economic influence.
- Emerging technologies are characterized by uncertainty and ambiguity, with their emergence phase still being somewhat uncertain and ambiguous.
Emerging Technology Areas
- Augmented Reality (AR) is an emerging technology that overlays computer-generated display, sound, text, and effects on a user's view of the real world, with applications such as in-car displays, games, and virtual furniture shopping.
Overview of Emerging Technologies
- Emerging technologies have different meanings for different people, but are generally considered new technologies that will substantially alter the business and social environment.
- Emerging technologies can be innovations of existing technologies, used creatively for modernity.
- Artificial intelligence, for example, was first developed in the 1950s but is still considered an emerging technology due to ongoing development and research.
