Whether its the latest phone technology, the latest in 3d and wireless television, the latest in personal manufacturing which brings three dimensional items produced on demand; the pace of science seems to be accelerating every day.   Advances in scientific fields happen at an amazing pace in universities and corporate labs throughout the world.  As you are viewing this site, some amazing breakthrough in biology, robotics, genetics, communications, materials science or a crossover field is undoubtedly taking place.  

Technology and the future

The pace at which technology drives us into the future with one tremendous advance after another is staggering.  The pace is breath taking and at times, reckless.  When we look at the newest  technology of the future, it is hard to imagine that a mere thirty years ago the computer was barely more complex than a simple calculator.   In fact, there are now wireless phones with considerably more power than the most powerful computers that were available in the eighties.

Information technology breakthroughs such as eversion or data overlay onto the real world have the potential to radically reshape both how we view and use information in our everyday lives.

Scientific Breakthroughs

Breakthroughs in science are rapidly unfolding in the areas of bio-technology, robotics, genetics, information management, nano technology and bio chemistry.    The implications are staggering.   It is not long until data is projected onto the real world, in the same way it is projected onto your screen.   The boundaries of the virtual and the real will start to intertwine.

Advanced Sciences

Nanotech brings with it huge advances in materials science and medicine.   By working on a scale that is incredibly small, nanotech devices can actually manipulate individual atoms to create new structures from the baseline up.  This technology has huge potentials to modify the physical world and our own bodies, as well as to interact with information projection and biological systems in novel and powerful ways.  

Radical new technologies such as smart matter and the applied implications of arcane arts which merge the boundaries between organic materials and living computers made of living mimetic metals and other exotic materials are challenging our scientific ability and testing our social and ethical boundaries.

Biology and genetic science has advanced to the point where literally any part of the body can be regrown and repaired.   Already new organs such as ears and bladders can be grown from a simple skin cell.  In advanced medicine the potentials in the field of regenerative and rejuvenation processes bring the possibility of effective immortality within reach.   Extremely long life-spans will become possible as the human transcends the limitations which have held it in the grip of time for centuries.

Robotics and artificial intelligence advances are on the verge of creating machines that have many of the capabilities of humans.    At what point machine sentience will emerge is unknown, there are some that believe it has already begun, others suggest that it will be decades in the future.

Science of the Future

The science of the future is a powerful and mystical thing.  The number of researchers actively working on technologies has never been greater in recorded history.   Science itself has a way of rewriting history and sometimes even basic knowledge.  What events are on the horizons of astronomy, computing and other barely charted frontiers of research remains to be seen.  The only thing that is certain is that new surprises will frequently occur.

Science fiction writers such as William Gibson, Neil Stephenson, Charles Stross and scores of others have drawn their conclusions from the information available and extrapolated these concepts to various logical conclusions.     These futurists will probably be right about some things and way off in others.    What is in store for the future of humanity as science rushes on?   This site explores answers to this question and more in the ongoing quest to report on and discuss the world of future technology.    

Regardless of how technology finds its place in your world, Newest Technology is here to help you make sense of it all, both through general topical pieces and conjecture about the world changing social impacts this technology brings.

Take a journey, a bold step into the fast changing world of modern technology and find out for yourself what the future is delivering right now.
