This report explores different articles that have been published about the new technologies and
innovation. Much innovation have been displayed by various scientist on various fields. From
research there has been a number of new inventions in the past three years. Invention takes place
in three phases. The three phases include the emerging phase, the growing phase and the
maturity phase. The invention that will be discussed are either on the growing phase or the
maturity phase. In the emerging phase new companies appear displaying the new products.
According to research, the companies are small and entrepreneurial and are uncertain about the
market reaction to the new product. It is said that the companies are said to be struggling.
Second,is the growing phase. This is the phase where most innovations and new technology are
based. From research, the uncertainty of business at this point is reduced. In this phase, there
most companies encountered much cost and failure trying to fit in the market. Some invention
failed at this point, other changed the product version while others thrived to the maturity phase.
The mature phase; this is the point where most technologies made in the market. These are the
products to be discussed in this report. Most of the new inventions in this stage are said to make
much profit and making great advances in the use of the products. At the mature stage these
technologies still evolve and differ in degrees of technology. The products made much impact in
the market for them to pass the growing phase.
The growing phase does not end. The inventor came up with many idea over time to fit the
market. The products have been of great impact in the market. The invention is said to be
efficient in performance. The emerging technologies include; seamless voice recognition, 5G
technology, driver-less cars, UI overhaul, Artificial intelligence (AI ) or Internet of Things (IoT),
Prescriptive analytics , 3-D printing and Edge cutting. These are the major innovations that
emerge in the past few years. This report gives some detailed research of the listed emerging
technologies ("You’ll want to keep an eye on these 10 breakthrough technologies this year",
2018). Numerously research groups have researched on the emerging technologies.
Emerging technologies and innovations

First, seamless voice recognition entered the world recognition recently. The invention was
catchy, when people realized that machines could understand human. At the emerging stage, the
spoken word was developed in advance of the noted counterpart. Human can speak 150 words
per minute. The communicating technological devices via voice become popular and that why
most companies that offer voice services are among the richest companies in the worlds. The
recent technology has a foundation of the past voice recognition platform. The earliest speech
recognition focused on the vowel sounds, as the system could also interpret phonemes ("MFCC-
Based Voice Recognition System for Home Automation Using Dynamic Programming", 2016).
Some diction machines were invented by Thomas Edison in the 19th century. The diction
machines could record speech which helped the doctors and the personal assistants in the routine
of taking many notes. Later, Audrey created another machine that understood values 1-9. The
systems has an accuracy of 90%. With time a machine that would understand more than 1000
words was developed by Alexander Waibel ("Application of Embedded System in Voice
Recognition Control of Smart Home", 2017). Today IBM has created a system that could adjust
to the speakers sound. The system has adapted to the voice recognition machine. Machine
learning has been implemented in many scientific fields. Today, Google has a voice search app
in the phones. The application has a lot of training data. Google has introduced a number of
elements such as the humming bird algorithm, direction and mapping, calling, sending messages,
finding the contacts and also weather prediction. The google assistant has been updated to
perform the task highlighted above. The uses of Google Assistant has helped quite number of
people. Siri is used in the Apple’s industry for voice recognition. The Artificial Intelligence-
powered digital assistant has brought touch of humanity to the devices. The human has the
feeling of being more attached to the machines as they can talk to the machines, as they do talk
to the fellow people. Microsoft has also developed Cortana and Amazon has Alexa("Voice
Recognition Based Call and Notification Android App", 2017). The smartphones have become
quite useful as users do not necessarily need to be in contact with the phone. The voice
recognition application has helped in many daily activities. The activities include unlocking
pixels, opening other apps with the voice, google search, ask for advice on what meal to take,
assist in suggesting vacation spots, assists in reading news, acquiring weather forecast, get movie
tickets, play some tunes, look into email appointments and set reminders. From the research

made, the seamless voice recognition is a new technology that has helped the busy people("235
Emerging Tech Trends For 2018 – Amy Webb – Medium", 2018).
Secondly, 5G technology is the new technology on the table. 4G technology has reached the
peak and now most companies are preparing for the 5G technology in the devices. 5G is more
costly to implement. Companies have developed 5G products. The 5G technology was brought
by Nokia and Ericson. The 5G network brings about the technology of self-driving cars. The
speed of 5G network is greatly enhance for the ultimate performance for various devices that can
stand the speed. 5G is the next wireless technology that is more responsive than anything
invented before. 5G will be used in devices such as self-driving cars, trend of devices and in the
telemedicine. Mobile phones with pucks are yet to be invented to use the 5G technology (Tariq,
2016).
5G NR is also important. NR refers to New Radio. Researchers say, with the use of 5G NR,
everyone is one the same page either the use of 5G mobile networks. Carriers such as the T-
Mobile and AT&T have already followed the 5G NR in building their networks. The 5G
technology is yet to get to the market. Currently, the devices to use 5G are being developed too.
The ZTE is said to be testing the infrastructure and the devices for a short time to avoid any
problems that may arise during the deployment of the 5G technology. Dan Hays says that he
expects most customer using 5G to suffer as they may be problems of the 5G devices connection
to devices with lower technology ("ADVANCED WIRELESS NETWORKS: VISION AND
FUTURE OF 5G WIRELESS MOBILE TECHNOLOGY", 2018).
The third emerging technology involves, the emerging driver-less cars. The technology of
driver-less cars emerged in 2017. There have been many road inconveniences such as traffic.
Such problems are meant to be solved by the driver-less cars. The driver-less cars are assembled
with much sensors. These vehicles view the surrounding using many camera installed in the
vehicles. The cars also have the camera and radar sensors. The sensors are used to bounce the
light so as to determine the distance difference between the car and the object. The sensors are
used to determine the shape and the location of the objects surrounding the driver-less cars.
These vehicles are fixed with high –speed processors. The process crunch the data into 360`
degree picture. According to the inventors these driver-less cars should know what action to take
after detecting objects near them. The vehicle can either stop, move or change direction.

The safety regulators say that these vehicles are safe as most accidents are blamed on human
errors such as driving while drunk, texting while driving or people not able to stop in case of an
accident. The advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) include cruise control, emergency
breaking system, backup cameras and self-parking systems. The number of ADAS has increased
from 2014-2017 with a merge of 50 percent.
Research shows that the customers are willing to pay for the declining prices have led to
technology’s proliferation. The drivers opt to pay an addition of $2500 for the addition of ADAS
features. These features are only found in the luxury houses only. This is done to reduce the
number of accidents and crashes. The industry has not yet provided the optimum solution for the
ADAS. The industry is also perfecting the ADAS vehicle as during March 2018, ADAS vehicle
did hit an elderly woman. Research is still been done to determine why the woman was hit. The
ADAS vehicles are expected to the perfect on the road as the vehicles are configured in the right
way(Zhang, Zhang & Bi, 2017). The technologies that have emerged on the ADAS vehicle
include: camera over radar, radar over camera and the hybrid approach. The camera over radar
depends intensively on the camera systems and then adds the radar data. The radar over camera
relies on the radar sensors then, then supplement the content with camera information. For the
hybrid approach combines the camera information with the radar sensors information. The
ADAS solution of the road has been recognized, but some errors are still been corrected in the
ADAS. The ADAS systems has been in incorporated to the normal vehicle. This has helped the
drivers rely on the automation process beyond their capabilities.
3-D media printing has been around for a long time. Only the expert designers were aware of the
technology. Today, 3-D printing is becoming cheaper and quite easy for the manufacturing
parts(Coward, 2015). If the 3-D printing technology is widely adopted, then it could really
change the way many people produce their products. Manufacturers need yo maintain large
inventories such as when one is replacing an aging car. The 3-D printing technology has created
lighter, stronger and complex shapes that aren’t possible with conventional metal fabrication
methods. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory developed a printing method for stainless
parts. In Boston, a company released 3-D metal printer. The sale of the 3-D printers will be done
this year. Most companies don’t have enough people with the knowledge of cloud AI. When the
cloud puts the technology within the reach of everyone, AI will commence officially.

Online privacy is another trending new technology. Internet privacy has been an achievement for
many users online. There are emerging cryptographic tools known as zero-knowledge proof.
The researchers have work on this technology for many years. The digital currencies use
cryptocurrency . This was launched in 2016. The method used was referred to as zk-SNARK.
Banks could use this system in the block chains. This method will not disclose the clients’
privacy. This enhances security in the bank systems (Chen, Beaudoin & Hong, 2017).
The other emerging technology is artificial intelligence (AI). AI is also referred to as Internet of
Things. Many sectors in the market have incorporated the use of artificial intelligence. AI is
leading in the enhancement of services in areas such as hospitals, schools, and Cybersecurity and
business productivity. AI is also very useful in identifying images from a a milion pictures. AI
can tell with the uncanny accuracy which pictures shows a person standing. The AI developers
ensure that the frameworks deployed are flexible. The pillars for facilitating responsible AI
system include workforce development, cyber security and authentication, data innovation policy
and having confidence in the AI systems(Ennals, 2014). AI has a high potential to change the
society to better decision making and improving the working environments. The AI system has
been integrated in institutions such the financial institutions making the daily work flow smooth.
The AI integration can be risky if no risk assessment is done. AI can pose threats to the
vulnerabilities that are already existing in the society. The areas that have benefited from the AI
include healthcare, automotive. Cybersecurity, e-commerce, customer care and virtual personal
assistants.
The healthcare has a lot of data. The data is sometimes difficult to retrieve. With the assistance
of AI, data can easily be mined and the analyzed into patterns in the diagnosis, progression or
treatment pf any medical account. AI is also used by the cardiologists in detecting the early
stages of a heart disease. AI systems are more accurate compared to human minds. AI is said to
be helpful in cybersecurity. The AI helps in detecting cyberattacks and could even block users
who are trying to hack into the system(Botega, Silva & Murphy, 2018). AI send notification to
the system owner about the vulnerability in the system. AI is also used in e-commerce. AI helps
in making analytics of the transaction taking place in an e-commerce site. The AI could help to
determine the number of visitors in an e-commerce site. When the business has accurate analysis
the business will make the right decisions for business. Also, AI helps in managing the customer

calls. AI is best fit for customer services(Talley, 2017). Customer tend to ask common queries
such as “where is my order”, “can I get a refund” and other common queries. The system can be
configured to detect some queries and to automatically send a response to the customers. The AI
can also be used as virtual personal assistants. The assistants include Alexa, Cortana and Siri.
The assistance involves choosing music, security and full control of private cloud storage. AI has
not been fully understood,since much can be done using AI that is still not invented.
The emerging technologies encourage the business to become digitized. This will leaded to
effective and efficient decision making (Bargshady, Alipanah, Abdulrazzaq & Chukwunonso,
2014). The more the companies become me digitized, the more opportunities from system
administrators, system developers and consultants rise. AI may gain a lot to the world. Basically
the future s dependent on the AI technology.
Advantages of emerging technologies
There are benefits of using the emerging technologies. Some time back the smart phones,
computers, tablets and rotary phones were once emerging trends, Today all these gadgets have
become a norm. Whatever now we refer to as emerging technologies including: seamless voice
recognition, 5G technology, driver-less cars, UI overhaul, Artificial intelligence (AI ) or Internet
of Things (IoT), Prescriptive analytic and Edge cutting will once become a norm too ("The
Advantages and Disadvantages of Technology", 2018). People should embrace new technologies
as the emerging technologies main purpose is to improve people’s live. The technology
advancements help to complete tasks more efficiently . The emerging technologies are meant to
keep people safe and protect the environment. If any technology is hazardous to the
environment , the the law enforcers will stop the technology from being used (Costanzo &
Masotti, 2017).
The emerging technologies have come to make the daily life activities more efficient (Eom,
2014). Inventions such as computer, telephone and cellular phones have changed the human life.
Communication has become more efficient. Today business are conducted more efficiently.
Without have to travel over long distances. The new technologies should increase the efficiency
and improve the productivity.

The emerging technologies other purpose is to ensure safety. The new technologies ought not to
be dangerous. The system should ensure safety and also helping improving the safety
precautions. The Department of Transportation have started a new technology that will host six
Driver Acceptance Clinics across the country. This is to perform a test on the emerging
technology that should allow vehicle-to-vehicle communication (Benedetto & D’Amico, 2015).
The Department of Transport will help the motorist to avoid collisions and provide warning to
the driver in situations of potential crashes.
The emerging technologies play a role in maintain human health or restoring human health
(Tiwari and Gallagher, 2017). For example the human chairs were invented to help the people
whose legs won’t allow them to walk freely. Positron Emission Tomography was invented. It
was found to be a quicker way of diagnosing chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular.
Many technologies are being used in the health facilities to ensure patient get the best treatment
possible to save their lives. In the future the PET imaging technology will be widely used in most
countries for cardiac diseases.
The emerging technologies also here to curb the destruction made by humans. Humans are know
for polluting the environment. There are many emerging technologies that geared towards the
conservation of the environment. Most scientists and innovators are creating eco-friendly
gadgets. George bush had signed the Energy independence and Security Act. Also Frances
Arnold designed enzymes for making biofuels. The innovation’s purpose wast reduce green
house gases.
Analysis and synthesis
Integration the emerging technologies discussed, the emerging technologies are helpful in the
society by making the daily activities efficient and effective. Most people who ignore these
technologies should be inform of them and the advantages they bring to various industries. Also
more innovation should be invented with an aim of making work easier and efficient(Paulsson,
2018).
Conclusion

The results indicate significant effects of the the emerging technologies and innovations ("Forbes
Welcome", 2018). The more the innovations, the more problems are solved. Life become
simpler with more innovations. The young people should be encouraged to come up with more
innovations as they have time to build on their ideas. There are many organizations will to fun
the emerging innovations. Financial issues should not hinder people from becoming creative.
With more mentors to encourage innovation the the world would be a better place.
