🔹 1. What are Emerging Technologies?

 Emerging technologies are new or developing innovations that are changing how we live,
work, and communicate.

 They are not yet widely used but have the potential to grow and become important in the
future.

🔹 2. Examples of Emerging Technologies

✅ A. Artificial Intelligence (AI)

 AI allows computers to think and learn like humans.

 Examples: Chatbots, self-driving cars, face recognition

 Used in: Healthcare, education, security, gaming

✅ B. Robotics

 Robots can be programmed to perform tasks automatically.

 Used in: Factories, surgery, space exploration, delivery

✅ C. 3D Printing

 Creates 3D solid objects from a digital file, layer by layer.

 Used in: Medicine (prosthetics), manufacturing, architecture

✅ D. Virtual Reality (VR)

 A computer-generated 3D environment that a user can explore.

 Requires special headsets (e.g., Oculus)

 Used in: Gaming, training pilots, surgery simulations

✅ E. Augmented Reality (AR)

 Adds digital elements to the real world, often through a phone or glasses.

 Example: Pokémon GO

 Used in: Retail, education, entertainment

✅ F. Biometrics

 Uses unique physical features for identification.

 Examples: Fingerprint scan, face ID, iris scan

 Used in: Security systems, phones, airports

✅ G. Quantum Computing

 Much faster than normal computers – can solve complex problems

 Still in early stages but has huge potential


 Used in: Research, encryption, drug development

🔹 3. Benefits of Emerging Technologies
