Humanity is in a state of constant development. Needs drive progress, and there are more and more of them every year. If initially the need was for food and a safe place to sleep, now the desires of a healthy individual, which must be satisfied, have already exceeded several dozen. Science does not stand still. Any new items are constantly being introduced into different spheres of a person’s needs and his life. This is what 21st century technology is oriented towards.
Entertainment industry
The technology described by writers long before its appearance is virtual reality. Of course, the capsules in which the body will rest, and the brain to see real dreams, are far enough away. But now you can see with your own eyes what is not, and at the same time not to get an appointment with a doctor. Augmented and virtual reality will become visible to anyone who purchases special glasses and installs the desired application on a smartphone.
What is the difference between these technologies:
- AR technology is augmented reality. It refers to the perception by the human brain of artificial elements using special devices as an integral part of the world.
- VR technology. Creates a new reality, different from the real one, with which the owner of technological innovations can contact and interact using sensory organs. The new world is perceived visually. Sounds are heard, thanks to which a person using technology is almost completely immersed in a virtual environment, feels everything like real reality.
How to achieve complete immersion in the technique of the 21st century
In order to achieve the effect of full interaction with the artificial environment, various technologies are used. The simplest are smartphones with special functionality. Complex - retinal monitors projecting elements of artificial reality directly onto the retina. For general use, virtual reality rooms can be launched. In them, the visitor achieves the maximum immersion effect by simulating odors and tactile sensations.
At the moment, all this technology of the 21st century is more entertaining in nature. But projects have already been launched to create rehabilitation programs based on these technologies. Even in medicine , developments are being used to transfer data through brain interfaces, although the technique is still too expensive for everyday use.
Production
A significant achievement in the field of production was 3d-printers. This technology has become a salvation for those industries where high-precision manufacturing of small parts is required, for example, boards for smartphones, buttons or small toys like those that come across in chocolate eggs with a surprise.
This technique of the 21st century has become popular not only in large-scale production, but also for home use. With the help of such equipment, they learned to build houses and ask complex designs. They even managed to print the basis for a motorcycle on a 3D printer, not like simple decorative figures.
The medicine
This section of science and technology of the 21st century should be considered separately. For several decades, many milestones have been achieved here, dozens of technologies and operations have been created and simplified.
3D printer in medicine
Although initially this device was purely industrial in nature, its functionality became indispensable in medical operations. Three-dimensional printing is used wherever possible, and its accuracy and capabilities are amazing. With the help of such a printer, it is possible to "print out" dental implants, replace the removed limbs and insert a new bone. Of course, the material used for such purposes is far from the plastic used for toys.
Once, for example, one American company introduced the technology of a new printer that allows you to print the tissues of the human body, blood vessels to replace the "living" organs. Earlier, attempts were made to grow and clone them based on stem cells, but now the bioprinter has become a wonderful alternative. Instead of ink, this amazing invention has cells with the necessary functionality, and a smart head, controlled by a computer, lays them out in the right order. In Russia, experiments in this direction are conducted regularly, and their results are promising.
Artificial heart
Of course, artificial and mechanical hearts are often shown in cyborg films or in anime, but this is now absolutely real. Such hearts are full substitutes for the present, but, unfortunately, they are temporary. This technology is used only when the patient is on the verge, and the "living" heart is not yet ready. Due to the lack of donor organs, this development has become saving: it helps the patient to wait for his own new organ and survive.
The best among these technological advances of the 21st century is the organ created by a Massachusetts company called AbioCor. Its advantage was complete autonomy, that is, unlike other brothers, it does not need access to a power source, as well as tubes and wires passing through the skin. This almost completely eliminates the possibility of infection.
Exoskeleton
New foreign technologies are designed to help people with disabilities and are able to cure most of the patients. The main task of medicine of our time is to provide each person with a full existence at any age. But as a result of diseases of the nervous system, many people cannot fully lead their lives. An exoskeleton comes to the rescue. Now this amazing invention in the technology of the 21st century is mainly used only in Japan, but has already been recognized by the European Union. And soon, such developments will appear in many centers for the rehabilitation of patients.
Science does not stand still. Every day, something unusual appears in the world. The new technology of the 21st century already allows people to get rid of many diseases and problems. The development process cannot be stopped; it cannot even be slowed down. Therefore, every year there will be more and more new and useful things, and life will become much easier.
