The word technology refers to the making, modification,
usage, and knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, crafts, systems, and
methods of organization, in order to solve a problem, improve a preexisting
solution to a problem, achieve a goal, handle an applied input/output relation
or perform a specific function. It can also refer to the collection of such
tools, including machinery, modifications, arrangements and procedures.
Technologies significantly affect human as well as other animal species'
ability to control and adapt to their natural environments. The term can either
be applied generally or to specific areas: examples include construction
technology, medical technology, and information technology.
Home Networking
Ultra-wideband (802.15.13a): Imagine a time you can watch TV
wirelessly to send three different programs to a different screen. This is
nothing new thanks to advances in wireless technology called Ultra-wideband
(UWB), which has low-power, cost-effective and able to transmit data 45
times the speed of Wi-Fi is available at this time. Soon, technology will be in
your living room and you and your family are ready to use.
Wireless Broadband
WiMax (802.16d and 802.16e): WiMax (Worldwide
Interoperability for Microwave Access), although there is said to be replacing
the existing Wi-Fi today, but the wireless network is able to reach a larger
area, about 30 miles (50-kilometers) and high-speed data transmission, the
inevitable will be very influential as well. WiMax, today, virtually as a
technology highly anticipated, especially by the operator and, in fact,
expected to change the map of the telecommunications and Internet industries.
This technology is also at the same time will be a challenge for Internet service
providers (ISPs) that exist today, especially small and medium enterprises.
Supply Chain
RFID: Technology on this one in the next two years is very
much talked about, especially from the retail industry. However, RFID (Radio
Frequency Identification) tags, is not yet widely used. However, pioneering
Wal-Mart has driven major changes in the supply chain. In 2005, Wal-Mart
has decide to require all of its suppliers to apply RFID tags. Wal-Mart alone,
in January 2005, at least 4 percent already implemented RFID reader in the
retail and distribution lines. This seems to be followed by other retailers
around the world.
Computer Memory
MRAM: Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory industry is
expected to revolutionize the PC world, especially since this technology has a
speed 1,000 times faster than the nonvolatile flash memory and almost 10 times
faster than DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory). "Nonvolatile" means
that the MRAM technology allows retain memory even though their resources cut.
In addition, low energy consumption, so it is suitable for computers and mobile
phones of the future.
Software
Antispam software (which works effectively): In the future,
the spam email attacks against your computer will not wane, even be added to
accumulate. In addition to speed the development of spam, which is also likely
to bring along a virus, then antispam software (which is really effective), it
is estimated that more needed and used. The goal is not only to block the flow
of spam, but also to deter potential virus and work productivity impairment.
Content Protection
Digital Rights Management: Windows Media digital rights
management (DRM) is a flexible platform that enables to protect and secure
delivery and subscription content, such as music or video, which will be played
either on a computer, portable device or on a network. This will be beneficial
for those who wish to create, transmit or play protected content and can be
enjoyed by consumers everywhere want and on the device they prefer. This technology
will pave the way commercialization main content (music or video) via virtual
paths. There are many types of solutions developed, apart from Microsoft.
Open Source
Linux: The software open source is not just Linux. However,
the emergence of Lindows, the Linux-based dealing with Windows, developed by
Microsoft and is proprietary, and has been used by most computer users the
world, may be creating a new map in the development of software. In the future,
the development of Linux and other open source software can not be taken
lightly. Linux adoption will continue to increase, although according to
Microsoft, Linux is still not going to threaten the use of Windows at least
until 2007. In 2004, according to IDC server market about 11% were sold in the
U.S. are using Linux as the operating system, while Windows 34% and 37% Unix.
The decision of some countries to use open source in recent years, seems to be
a new momentum adoption of open source, including Linux, more intensively.
Computer System
Grid Computing: The concept of grid computing itself is not
new. Broadly speaking, this concept departs from the principle of "there
should be no idle PC". The virtual machine is called grid computing does
not look at the operating system (OS) or hardware platform to whom he
collaborated. When you need the data, you will get as much as you need,
whenever you want. This is the vision of Grid Computing: computing and data
available anywhere and always available. This technology is expected to attract
a lot of people who will menarapkannya, particularly corporations or
enterprise.
Peer-to-Peer
Datapod, now a BeInSync. BeInSync is a networking technology
peer-to-peer with SSL encryption to secure data transmitted. With this
technology, a user who has multiple computers, such as at the office and at
home, can use BeInSync or DataPod to keep archives, email, address book or web
address frequented be synchronized with each other. When the data is updated on
one computer, it will automatically update the other. Users also can share data
with other users DataPod. Interestingly, users not only to share data and
information, but can access it from anywhere you want or when the middle of the
way. This technology is expected to be widely used, because it allows for more flexibility
and greater freedom, while still menyinkronikan any updated data and
information.
Digital Magazine
Zinio: Digital magazine technology is expected to
revolutionize the world of the publishing industry, because it is not only
beneficial to the reader, but also publishers and advertisers. Pleasure reading
magazines in the print edition brought into digital format, so you can still
read the content of the same magazine, same graphics and the same view but in a
desktop or laptop. In addition to giving a new reading experience, as well as
more free and fun. Until now, no less than 19 million people have read about
120 kinds of world famous magazine which has digitized approximately 40 major
foreign publishers in more than 200 countries.
