Computers, internet and mobile phones are the products of advancements in electronics that have become as important as daily bread in human life. Electronics has travelled a long way in a very short time. New findings and constant improvements pushed electronics forward at a rapid pace. Electronics in future will further change the way we work and live. A newborn infant in the year 2050 will enter the world in same biological way. However, world before his eyes will be far more different than the world we know today.
As the sizes of the devices go down in reverse proportion to their electronic smartness, we will see devices that will act like a doctor, available at your service with the press of a button. Ongoing advancements in speech technology and artificial intelligence will leave you baffled if you directly go ten years later and see how these technologies would have revolutionized various processes, businesses, society and culture.
Digital electronics age surpassed everyone’s expectations by providing highly efficient mechanisms for data storage and solved the problem of information retrieval and manipulation through micro sized chips with thousands of complex circuits embedded on them. As the digital signal application saturate in new years, researchers will take the shelter of even faster mechanisms such as optics. As two fields of science merge together to produce a utility for the common people of the world, newly emerging nano -electronics will wipe out some of our needs like storage forever. These technologies are presently at an infant stage if we consider the potential benefits they can provide in future.
Applications of nano technology are being used to produce chips that are comparatively thousands of times smaller than a normal chip produced today. You could be carrying a supercomputer embedded under your skin all the times and you may never know it because of its negligible size. Medical diagnosis will see a new wave of advancements as nano technology experiments of the day are deemed successful.
Future of the electronics belongs to wireless propagation and nano technology based storage and processing. To make an electronics advancement viable through extensive research programs, nations all across the world will continue spending a hefty amount of their budget. Economic wheel of growth sustains the development of any such field of knowledge. Electronics, as regards to science, makes use of several basic fields of science such as electrical science, magnetism, radox reactions, semiconductors and atomic physics at its core. As these basic fields of knowledge are crowed with more discoveries and inventions in coming future, electronics will take a leap forward and provide us with services that no one could have imagined before.
Scientists have now successfully constructed completely transparent chips. These chips or even a screen can be inserted in a glass. Based on complementary metal-oxide semiconductor technology, this is just one good example of how people are keen on innovation and improvement.
Material science is a close cousin of electronics. Future electronics with new findings in material science will revolutionize textile industry, packaging, polymers and provide impressive applications in medical field.
