Cutting Edge and Emerging
Technologies
© Eisenberg 2013
Technology
• Reached it’s limit?
• From now on, just more of the
same?
© Eisenberg 2013
No!
no - no - no - no

Get ready for whole new waves!

Goals for this Topic
• To consider “change” in terms of technology and
society.
• To gain an awareness of cutting edge and
emerging technologies.
• To be able to conduct a SWOT analysis in
relation to technologies.
• To dream.

The Question
How can we better meet
the information needs of
people -
whenever, wherever and
in whatever form?
© Eisenberg 2013
THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY,
JULY 1945
VANNEVAR BUSH
“As We May Think.”
1945

Problem
• Plenty of research information.
• Bogged down by the quantity.
• The problem is not the publishing – it’s the
finding and using.
• “A record, if it is to be useful to science,
must be continuously extended, it must be
stored, and above all it must be
consulted.”
© Eisenberg 2013
Solution
• Miniaturization – Compression
• Search – Selection
• The human mind is not an index! It
operates by associations.
• Selection by association!
• A Web.
• Memex!!
© Eisenberg 2013
Memex
“A sort of mechanized private file and library.
“A memex is a device in which an individual stores
all his books, records, and communications, and
which is mechanized so that it may be consulted
with exceeding speed and flexibility. It is an
enlarged intimate supplement to his memory.
“It consists of a desk, and while it can presumably
be operated from a distance, it is primarily the
piece of furniture at which he works….
Key = associative indexing.

Exercise
Exercise:
• Individually – brainstorm/identify at least one
technology in each category:
– LAGGING
– MAINSTREAM
– CUTTING EDGE
– BLEEDING EDGE
– OVER THE EDGE
• Triads:
– SHARE IDEAS
– ANALYZE SWOT
– SELECT & POST ON WALL
– CLUSTER

Back to Nature for Next Technology Revolution?
• Forty years ago, a computer had 2,000 transistors.
Today's CPUs have one billion and tomorrow's units will
have several billion tiny components.
• But they can't be manufactured with today's technology.
So where do we turn?
• Imagine using DNA as a template to "grow" electronic
devices, or custom designing molecules to build
transistor
