Produktbeschreibung

Innovative Technologies for Future Living is now available in over 300 global libraries worldwide and counting. https://search.worldcat.org/title/Innovative-technologies-for-future-living/oclc/1376003728

As of January 2023 there were over 5 billion users of technology and the internet. People who use technology and want to know about it in simple language, without jargon. Many of those nurture dreams and aspirations to be quicker, smarter and 'be the change.' We bring to them relatable stories of everyday users, understood by consumers and gadget freaks alike - a 200 page reference book of 10 technologies from IoT and AI to Telehealth, Metaworld and Edutech.

We start with the Internet of Things (IoT) and show how consumers are using smart devices that teach them to manage their homes, travel and lifestyle through their smartphones. We see how cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) are enabling them to give feedback to IoT devices, and extracting multiple services from household products like the humble LED light, or the refrigerator, or sophisticated jet engines, or combined harvesters. As devices turn smart and AI and robots enter our workspace they run the risk of being hacked. So techies developed the Blockchain, with encrypted text that would secure digital assets. But with it arrived cryptocurrencies that threaten to bring unprecedented speculation, money laundering and cyber crimes.

We also explore new opportunities in telehealth, distant education and metaworld, and the strides made in digital transformation that has, in less than five years, empowered over 2 billion people across the world, giving them access to cost effective banking, education, travel, energy, food and health services. But the same technologies are used to fight wars and disrupt supply chains that cause acute distress and worldwide recessions. The book is relevant because the changes happening now are not incremental but tectonic. This opens the door to a future that is more fascinating and threatening than fiction. Read on to find out more.

Rezensionen

"As someone who has previously taught Digital Transformation at University, I always insist that Technology on its own isn't sufficient; rather applications of technology are really what matter. And this is where the book shines through.

One more great thing is that it talks about both the Pros and Cons of using a technology like say Blockchain. I particularly liked how they explained the Ripple & CBDC cryptocurrency adoption conundrum."

- Ashish Mehta, Blockchain & Cloud Security Educator at IIT



"Sen also delves into other pivotal technologies in Part I, including artificial intelligence, robotics, and blockchain. Each section is rich with examples, illustrating how these innovations contribute to a more interconnected society.

The book is a like a reference book of technology applications. It is easy to understand but not easy to read and finish quickly. Chapters on telehealth and edu-tech are particularly relevant today, showcasing how technology can bridge gaps in healthcare and education."

- Kamlesh Kumar, Founder in Startup - IoT & AI
