Technology is changing and evolving at a faster pace today than ever before. As new developments take place in the field of technology almost every other day, everything from the way we communicate with each other to the way we conduct business is constantly changing. Emerging technologies refer to new technology that is currently being developed or will be developed within the next five to ten years, and includes technologies that are currently creating or will create lasting economic or social effects. In using these technologies, not only can we find better and more efficient ways to do business, but we can also create a safer and healthier world. With technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence already changing the way we interact with our surroundings, the importance and relevance of learning about new emerging technologies cannot be underscored enough.
