New technologies - Evolving current computing system

In the late 20^th century the technology has evolved a lot that if we compare today’s world with the world of 1990s we will found a huge differences. The main reason of these revolutionary changes was computer and internet. Nowadays the computer and internet developer are trying best to evolve the technology more. Nanotechnology, grid computing, quantum computing, semantic web are the latest thought of the innovators in order to boost the computing facilities.

Nanotechnology refers to the functional system at the molecular scale. According to the US National Nanotechnology Initiative definition “nanotech includes anything that is smaller than 100 nanometers with novel properties.” (http://crnano.org/whatis.htm) The benefit of nanotech will be a mass productivity power in industrial sectors and also a powerful weapon in military sectors. So there is a probability of disadvantage as well.   

Nowadays the classical computer that we use work based on binary system and there are some limitation that binary system cannot do. That is why the experts came up with an idea of quantum computing system. A quantum computer can do an arbiter reversible classical computation on all the numbers simultaneously. Therefore quantum computer has the potential to be much more powerful than a classical one. This computing system is ideal for modeling, indexing and very large database.

Grid computing system applies many computer network to a single problem in order to solve that complicated problems faster. Normally scientific problems which need a vast processing to be solved can be done by grid computing. A well-known grid computing project is SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) (http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/G/grid_computing.html)

The internet system that we are using which is World Wide Web is trying to be converted to a semantic web system. Sen“The main purpose of the semantic Web is driving the evolution of current Web by enabling users to find, share and combine information more easily.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web)

It will be a dramatic changes in the technological world if these technologies are being implemented. Thw world is eagerly waiting to embrace the new technology as like as me.
