IMPORTANT TECHNOLOGIES
The top ten important technologies in the last 2000 years are listed below:
1. Neural network: Neural networks are generally a set of algorithms that are mainly
modelled after the human brain for recognizing different patterns within the data. It is found that
once the neural networks are generally trained on samples of data, it generally can make a lot of
predictions by properly detecting different patterns within future data (Hinton, Oriol and Jeff 77).
This technology is ranked as most important technology as it is globally recognized as the
appropriate AI technology nowadays for recognition of patterns.
2. IoT: IoT is ranked as second important technology that helps in providing a platform
which generally creates a lot of opportunities for the people effectively connecting the devices
and for successfully controlling them with proper data technology that reduces the involvement
of human.
3. Serverless computing: They are ranked as third important technology as it is one of
the cloud computing execution models in which the cloud provider helps in running the server as
well as helps in managing the allocation of different types of machine resources.
4. Biometric: Biometric is ranked as 4th important technology that helps in enabling
automated calculation of the employee hours that further helps in minimizing the wastage of both
time and paper that is spend on manual reconciliation of attendance data (Baldini et al. 25).
5. Drone: Drones are marked as the fifth important technology that is helpful in
measuring the radioactivity in nuclear disaster zones which generally carries aerial
reconnaissance within the war zones and also helps in collecting biological samples.
6. Blockchain: It is the 6th important technology that is quite essential as it generally
helps in allowing various types of digital assets, data as well as goods (Cachin 32). Nowadays,

banking organizations uses blockchain technology for enhancing transparency between various
market participants.
7. Robotics: Robotics is the 7th important technology that helps in eliminating dangerous
jobs for humans and generally helps in increasing flexibility for performing a number of tasks as
well as applications. In addition to this, they are helpful in handling lifting heavy loads as well as
different types of repetitive tasks.
8. VR: It is the 8th technology as over some recent years, both VR as well as AR
applications will become sophisticated as the devices are much more powerful and helps in
properly creating proper quality of visuals. In addition to this, the VR developers generally
creates smart as well as cognitive functionality within their apps.
9. 3D printing: It is considered as the 9th technology that helps in providing a number of
advantages in healthcare, fashion and design field as well as personal applications (Ambrosi and
Pumera 2740-2755). In addition to this, 3D printing manufacturing is one of the procedures that
helps in enabling an individual to procedure different types of shapes by utilizing less material.
10.Telephone: A telephone is one of the communication tools that sends different types
of digital signals on wires and as it is invented in the year 1876, it is considered as the 10th
important technology over 2000 years.
