blockchain, metaverse and more

1. World’s Latest Technology Trends

2. Introduction
 "Trend technology" typically refers to the latest advancements, innovations, or
developments in technology that are currently popular or gaining traction.
 These can include emerging technologies, breakthroughs in various fields such
as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, renewable energy, or advancements in
consumer electronics, among others.
 Trend technology often encompasses cutting-edge solutions that have the
potential to shape industries and everyday life in the near future.

3. Smart cities
 The novel application of the Internet of Things (IoT) has enabled smart city
practices on a global scale.
 This modern technology equips the city with the capability of monitoring,
controlling, and managing urban facilities and devices remotely, as well as
creating new insights and actionable information from quantitative streams of
real-time data.
 IoT has its underlying significance in the overall development of smart cities,
particularly in the enhancement of urban interconnectivity.
 These IoT devices contain smart sensors, actuators, monitoring devices, and
AI programmes through which a city can substantially improve its urban
accessibility and mobility, promote social inclusiveness, increase energy
efficiency, and, eventually, reach the goal of practising sustainability.

5. We also have autonomous vehicles
 An autonomous vehicle, also known as a self-driving car or driverless car, is a
vehicle capable of navigating and operating without human intervention.
These vehicles use various sensors, cameras, radar, lidar, GPS, and
sophisticated software algorithms to perceive their environment, interpret
data, and make driving decisions.
 Autonomous vehicles (AVs) use technology to partially or entirely replace the
human driver in navigating a vehicle from an origin to a destination while
avoiding road hazards and responding to traffic conditions.
 The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has developed a widely-adopted
classification system with six levels based on the level of human intervention.
 The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) uses this
classification system.

7. Artificial Intelligence with Robotics
 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the field of robotics, enabling
machines to perceive, learn, and interact with their environments
autonomously.
 Through AI, robots can analyze data from sensors, make real-time decisions,
and adapt to changing conditions.
 Across industries, robots and artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled
innovative solutions to the challenges faced by businesses of all sizes.
 Intel provides the technologies, tools, and partner relationships required to
realize the full potential of robots and AI.
 The idea of robots powered by artificial intelligence has fascinated and
ignited our imaginations for decades.
 Today, robotics ideas that were once science fiction are becoming reality for
many businesses.

9. Metaverse in blockchain
 The metaverse is a collective virtual shared space, created by the
convergence of virtually enhanced physical reality and persistent virtual
reality.
 It is a concept popularized by science fiction, particularly by Neal
Stephenson's novel "Snow Crash" and later by the novel "Ready Player One" by
Ernest Cline.
 In the metaverse, users interact with each other and digital objects in a
computer-generated environment, often using avatars.
 Blockchain is like a digital ledger or record-keeping system that securely
stores information across a network of computers.
 Imagine a chain of blocks, where each block contains data, and these blocks
are linked together in a chronological order, forming a continuous chain.

10. Metaverse in blockchain
 Crypto metaverses are virtual environments with enormous social and commercial
possibilities.
 Their blockchain architecture enables them to participate in the cryptocurrency
market, allowing virtual things to be traded for real economic value beyond the
metaverse.
 Blockchain began in 1991 as a method of storing and securing digital data.
 Blockchain is a public ledger that multiple parties may view simultaneously.
 One of its key advantages is that the data collected is difficult to modify without
the consent of all persons concerned.
 Each new record is converted into a block with a unique, distinguishing hash
 A blockchain is formed by connecting the blocks into a chain of records.
 People use blockchain technology in the Bitcoin cryptocurrency.
 Blockchain facilitates the authentication and traceability of complex transactions
that need verification and traceability

12. End of Presentation
 As technology trends continue to advance, it also brings challenges like
privacy concerns and digital overload.
 Embrace technological progress mindfully, prioritizing ethical usage and
continuous learning.
 Strive for a harmonious integration of technology into daily life, leveraging its
potential for positive impact while remaining vigilant against its pitfalls.
