The technological convergence innovation

ABSTRACTThis essay discusses the acceleration and integration of everything (AIE), i.e. of all forms of electronic devices into a distributed communications grid that will, inexorably, ubiquitously change the way we exist towards a convergent singularity of robotics, informatics, genetics and nanotechnology. The changes may be more than the collective or individual human psyche is prepared to engage, and will require that societies get used to these changes and incorporate them. The use of communication and information technology is also as important for sociology as it is for any other subject as it influences and is influenced by different kinds of policy, about citizenship. The trajectory lines of communication engineering reveal some thought-provoking questions. The article will progress correspondingly: (I) we will first consider the Internet as the most important facilitation of directional change and lifestyle impact; (II) we will detail a nascent area of electronics emerging from nanotechnology re...
