The advancement in technology has opened up the doors to various new opportunities and breakthroughs. You probably don’t notice it so much because these innovations happen gradually and sometimes they happen without your knowledge. We’re too focused on our lives to really find out all the new developments that are occurring. If you dedicate your time to finding them out, you wouldn’t have time to do anything else.
Some of these breakthroughs you’re using at this very moment. People get used to changes quite easily so in your mind nothing seems different. But, when you compare it to how you were living only a few years ago, you would notice a big difference. It might be important to know these innovations too as some might even help to save your life. Various developments have been discovered for the sole purpose of improving human life.
Breakthrough in Biotech
One of the many innovations that resulted in technology getting more and more advanced is the industry of biotechnology. This area focuses on using technology and science to improve and study living things. The science fiction idea of nano tech is where biotech will eventually go to. Breakthroughs like telomere therapy
enable scientists and doctors to study an individual’s DNA to better see how healthy he or she is. They’re also able to tell what diseases and sicknesses a person is predisposed to with the hope of doing the steps to prevent it from happening.
Enablers of the Environment
When people think of development, some might think of the classic images of factories spewing out smoke and destroying the environment. While this was true before when fossil fuel burning was the only way to provide energy, now clean energy is all the rage. Clean energy is all about using the sun’s light to power our cars, homes, and work areas. More and more buildings are becoming green certified, meaning they use only the minimum amount of energy to be efficient. This is thanks to several innovations in power saving and storing.
Technology Becoming More Accessible
10 years ago, the smartphone you’re using now would have cost at least 5 times it does today. The flat screen TVs that are present in almost every household was way more expensive in the past. How come? The developments of technology have made various devices more accessible to the masses. Touch screens were only in its infancy back then so the cost of producing phones on a mass scale was incredibly expensive. The change is obvious when you see the evolution of the iPhone. The price has relatively remained the same but the technology and speed of the software have only gotten better.
It’s easy to forget about all the great things science has given us. We live in a world full of developments so you’re probably used to them already. But, it’s good to appreciate all the conveniences modern science has given us. More than appreciation, it’s also wise to take note of these developments because some of them can even save your life.
